Breaking Zaino news...

I have tested the products, and must stress again that although AW is a nice product, it is a completely different product from CS. CS is a sealant with durability well beyond 6 months, and AW is a spray sealant/booster. AW is the same category of Z8; however, is not in that of CS.

Does anyone remember a clear sealant from the late 80's early 90's that you would just "glide" on with no buffing afterwards? I think it was made by Blue Corral and it was the worst stuff I ever used. (I think you even needed mineral spirits to remove it) There were late night infomercials with a little guy with an English accent saying to put it over junk yard hoods and everything. Anyway- I'm an avid Zaino user and look forward to the new products but I have to admit the first time I heard clear liquid (clear seal) that does not need to be buffed I thought of that Blue Corral infomercial stuff!! Haha!

Bill D knew all about this stuff and mentioned it at least one thread...but he seems to be incognito lately...

WOW-real world durability of 6 plus months is quite impressive. Did you test the durability of ZAIO as a standalone product?

People keep saying that they wont have to use ZFX because of ZAIO, but you've never HAD to use ZFX....that's why Sal sells the Z1.

Apparently not anymore, it's purportedly being discontinued. I guess perhaps we now know the reason for that.

Yes sir! I was just reading about the 600hp rating of the 08 viper that will be out in mid 07. If there was not a 505hp Z06, would I be reading about the 600hp viper?

Supercharged Z06, 650 hp. $100,000 or so according to Road & Track...which in the same issue tests the Bugatti Veyron, which rips off a 10.2 @ 142 mph 1/4 mile!

Yes, and currently it is 1.5 months strong on my sisters car, neighbors car, and family friends vehicle. I received the ZAIO later than the C.S. so I do not as many months of testing with the AIO. I am very impressed with it because it is very versatile being able to work by hand, or if you prefer pc, it can do that too. It works great for sprucing up clients cars that do not want the full detail. I will report back regularly with durability.

Sorry if this has been convered by sifting through 13 pages would be very long.



If the ZAIO an abrasive polish? Hand and machine applicable?
 
There isn't any tech or spec data on their website, Xzilon, but there is a sales oriented mp4 that you can watch about the product that states things like never needs to be reapplied, withstands surface temps upto 400 deg, 5 year warranty, etc. Really hoaky propaganda stuff and is geared for the new car buyer to try to close them on spending hundreds of dollars for this stuff. Their server seems to be real slow, so opening or downloading the 33 meg file for me was painfully slow...

Clearly a hard sell company with no credibility. At least Zaino has an established track record.

From the Zaino website before that page was made unavailable:



How does Z-AIO compare to Z-PC?

Z-AIO is a less abrasive product that does contain any protectant. For minor oxidation and surface debris cleansing, Z-AIO can handle it. If it's necessary to work a little deeper to resolve more serious surface imperfections, Z-PC should be used. Use of Z-PC requires follow up with another protectant like Z-2 or Z-5 PRO, or even Z-CS Clear Seal, while Z-AIO does not.



From my readings here and elsewhere it can be hand and machine applied. In my opinion, the ZAIO and ZCS are tremendously good fit into the existing product line. These two address the common complaints against the current product line. The chief one for me is compatibility with other products. It's been strictly an all or nothing proposition before.

When testing this product, I used it via a polishing pad and pc @ 6 and it was able to tackle light marring on the neighbors car.

All I've heard of from this thread is Zaino is coming out with a Clear Wipe Sealant and AIO product... sigh.

aka the Corvette SS, which was first known as the blue devil as in something to beat the Ford GT.



Not sure I like the Corvette SS name, as usual leave it to marketing to screw things up.



I would prefer stingray myself.....

If you don't like Zaino, don't like Zaino's ad copy, don't like Zaino users, etc., it's no sweat to anyone. Just move along, and don't worry about it.

wrong...sorry I dared to question the diety of Zaino..but don't make false statements like that. There may be other products that I don't worship. Does that mean I hate everything about it , plus the people who use it?? Why get immature about it?
 
Personally, I think this is some pretty cool news.



I have been wanting to try out a Z LSP so something that is supposed to have comparable looks to the rest of the Z line only easier to apply might just be what it takes to get me to try some. Ive never used any Z sealants before, the only Zaino product Ive used was Z16 which I found to be mediocre (though I am very picky about tire dressings). The only product that has really ever blown me away was OHC, simply because it cut like crazy but left a surface with little to no micro-marring.



As for the Z-AIO, I have never understood the AIO hype. To me AIO'ing is kind of half-assing things. If I have light marring, I use OP; if I need to clean a surface, I use Prepsol. IMO, I don't see where an AIO product is really needed unless your being lazy.



I will probably wait a while and see what my Autopian brethren are saying about it before I go out and buy some, though if it seems decent enough I will definitely order some.

I agree with you.



However, they are really trying to leverage the airline inducstry quals they have.

So I’m reading along trying to find some value in this thread, I’m sure others are as well….it’s a struggle cutting through the hype.



Would the active posters in this thread who have actually tried Z-CS or Z-AIO please raise their hands.



Thanks
