Breaking Zaino news...

Scott,

I have and use Prime and Prime Strong. Without sounding bias since all these products (KAIO, Prime and PS yield excellent results, I like the appearance and cleansing ability of ZAIO better. Could be that initial polishing was done with Z-PC Fusion and the ZAIO was removing Z sealants from the test area.:nixweiss



I also have some Opti-Seal to try this week. :D

John-I know you've used Werkstatt products, how comparible is Z-AIO to Prime?

Scott,



I've never used Prime as an All-In-One (i.e. as a stand alone LSP), but I do think it does a good job cleaning the paint.



The latest version of Z-AIO also cleans well and leaves a very slick, high gloss surface.



Z-AIO durability is on par with any carnauba product that I've ever used in the Northeast

-where we get salted roads and plenty of acid rain.



Today is no different, except the acid rain is coming down in the form of snow. Am I venting? (LOL).



Hope this helps.
 
Did I miss a page somewhere? When will this be available? I don't see it on the Zaino Home page. Thanks

Yes, I have used Z-AIO for a few months.



Here are my thoughts....



Z-AIO was shipped(TEST SAMPLE) in a 2oz bottle, identical to the ones shipped with zfx.



2oz was enough to polish out 2 mid-sized cars. You will use less product by hand.



Z-AIO was applied to virtually all external surfaces (paint, glass, plastic lighting, wheels, painted and flat plastic trim, jams, and a few areas in the engine bay). I didn’t pick up any staining.



Z-AIO was able to correct very minor marring, on par with Klasse-AIO which is arguably the most popular one-step product.



Z-AIO doesn’t have the cutting abilities needed to level swirls. If it did, I think you’d be looking at a 2+ step process, which would defeat the purpose of using an all-in-one product.



Z-AIO ‘cleaned’ the paint surface effectively, didn’t dust (I primed my pad with Z6), and wiped off with very little effort.



Z-AIO restored the paints original luster, and left behind the ‘trademark’ Zaino shine and slick surface. On older paint, you really notice the renewed luster.



Z-AIO does not require zfx.



Final Thoughts on Z-AIO



*An excellent choice on new, or well maintained paint. It works well on blemished surfaces too, but isn't intended as a swirl/defect remover.



*Safely removes ‘clay bar’ marring.



* Saves Time, and provides a solid 'base' for Z2Pro, Z5Pro, and CS.



I plan to use Z-AIO and CS on many details this year. They work very well together, save time, protect well, and leave you with a killer looking finish.

Great write up.......:xyxthumbs



Question for combo's.....After a Z-PC polish with a LC white pad, should I go ZAIO and then Z5p and ZCS......or.......a polish and then ZCS and Z8....?
 
Use ZPC for swirl removal and all other Zaino products can be used depending on your preference.

ZPC/Z5pro/CS

ZPC/Zaio/CS

on a flawless finish

Zaio/Z2pro/CS

Zaio/CS



Z8 for extra gloss boost after washing



It sounds as if using both ZAIO and Z5pro is a bit redundant
 
another noobie question... is it normal (or recommended) to use a polish (e.g. OP, ZAIO, Z5p) or LSP (e.g. Z8, ZCS) on glass? i'm particularly looking for something that will bead rain on the windshield, w/o streaking, to replace my current bimonthly rainx treatment...

Z8 works well on glass.

CS: can only be applied by hand



ZAIO: polishing or finishing pad.

ZAIO can be applied by hand too -but I agree with all of the points raised by GregCavi.



Don't think of ZAIO as an abrasive polish that will level out defects -it will not. It will take care of very minor marring, but that's about all.



I like using it as a finishing polish:

-You get protection, don't have to use zfx, can top with Z5Pro, Z2Pro, CS, Z8, -OR- your favorite LSP topper.



I really like the combo of Z-AIO topped with CS.

Any guess on the price of CCS?



I cant wait to try it, but will probably wait until spring when I do my full detail (paint correction and all) if it's as expensive as I think it will be.
