There is no way I can do a car with 1/4 oz. That 1/4 oz will be inside that sponge in a heartbeat. I will give it a shot, be I don't think it is going to happen. How about it testors, what is your experience?

After priming the cotton applicator with a spritz 1/4 is plenty to do a vehicle. CS does not soak into the applicator. Hard to describe the viscosity of this product but very little is lost via application. Everything that is in the applicator ends up on your finish. When I finish applying the applicator is nearly dry.

I can do my C5Z06 with a little more than an 1/8 of an oz without being conservative or frugal in terms of dispensing.

The way I look at it is...Sal spent years and maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars to come up with and manufacture this wonderful instant product. We let him do all the grunt work and spend all of his money on this process that took many many years and it's only gonna cost us $30 for many applications on many cars.....I think it is well worth it in my book. I am gonna be the one laughing all the way to the bank that only cost me $30 for this amazing product.

Yet people gripe about what pills that cure them of all sorts of ailments cost! :LOLOL



I guess I will have to break down and at least buy Clear Seal. I have a half bottle of Prime and probably 20 oz of Klasse AIO left so the Zaino version will just have to wait until I use up some of my current AIO type products. PLus, it will enable me to do a head to head test against the Optimum Sealant. :)
 
So if CS is not a replacement for Z2 or Z5. Does it give the same shine and look of Z2 or Z5? I understand that it is easy and durable, but how are the looks? I have not been following the thread on these new products. I need some Z2 and ZFX for the spring, but why not just get the ZAIO and CS instead?

Steve-my thoughts exactly. Apparently, the look and durability are the same with CS vs Z2 or Z5, so for the average enthusiast, ZAIO and CS would be all they *need* to buy, assuming proper prep.

Other than being easy to apply and durable, I am not sure where it falls in terms of looks. My initial assumption is that is falls short of Z2 in terms of looks, but the trade off is the ease of use, ability to be used on top of other lsp's and durability. Seems more like a booster, to enhance whatever is already there....but I could be totally wrong.

Z5pro has a very deep look with great durability.



Z2pro is on the shinier/glossy/bright side with great durability.



I find CS to have a few attributes of each, its got the depth and the gloss, and of course is very durable. From all of the extensive testing I have done, My favorite combo is Z5pro topped with CS. If you want a little more gloss, you can't go wrong with z5pro, z2pro, and CS.

excellent answer makes alot of sense
 
Z2,Z5 and CS have subtle differences in appearance. All 3 look great alone depending on your desired appearance, quality of paint and prep.



I prefer to use a combo of all 3 and now I can even throw in a carnuaba if my favor for the month desires so. :woot:

Thanks, my car currently has Z2Pro maintained with Z8 for the past year. I'll give CS a try this spring. Does CS add to the look of Z2?

I am mainly going to use z-aio and cs for my quickie cheap customer that only want to pay $100-$200 for a sealant package on cars that are in decent shape and need no prep work. This seems like an easy system that is fast and a good money maker. Considering zaino products are the easiest for clean-up and speed. I now use zpc and z5 pro and they are quick and easy and there is no wasted time getting polish out of cracks. It comes off easy and makes the moldings look better than new.



How does the aio do near cracks and moldings? Is it the same I hope. I know cs is a gonna be my money maker cause of the time saved, but I am more worried about zaio?

I can't wait to try these out. I love every zaino product out there and I am very impressed and they have come a long way on the new pro series and now this! No wonder why I have insomnia!:faint:

I am sure you will find a place for both products in your arsenal and be completely satisfied with them.



Insomnia yes, but not being able to discuss these products during their development was extremely difficult. It was like buying the perfect gift for the wife for a holiday and not telling her.:nervous2:

I know..I hate when you guys do that! One day all you guys came out of the woodwork.

I have a whole car lot and I would have loved to be a tester, especially for zaino. I am just jealous that all. Every car on my lot has one shiny fender!:help: :grinno:

No LSP will resist polishing or even a chemical cleansing. If you plan to polish/cleanse, plan on applying another application of CS or LSP to protect.



Another great feature of CS is that it blends perfectly. Why is this important? Sometimes one might need to polish a spot or clay an area. One can just spray some CS over that repaired area and you have re-established a polymer sealant protection. No Z1 or ZFX needed for this type of spot repair.:bow







CS applied over a carnuaba, I tested Zymol Carbon, added gloss without diminshing of the minimal depth enhancement (optical change) that carnuabas create.



Z2/5PRO topped with Zymol Carbon topped with CS.

good post



one of the reasons i stopped using Z5/Z2 on my black car is because i couldnt spot remove swirls/scratches by hand because the Zaino was just too hard to cut through with my light Menzerna/Farecla abbrassives. Now that im using Swissol Concorso, i can cut through it easily, then wipe a fresh coat on that panel



my second question would be maintenance. Say you do prefer a carnauba top coat, and apply CS over the top for extra protection/gloss, how do u maintain the finish now. Do you just layer your carnauba over the top say in 4 washes time, or do u use CS again. Or would you have to do the Z-AIO+carnauba+CS everytime
