Are you taking the Souvran off ? or just sealing it with CS?
 
I'll start with wash, FK 1119, foam gun wash, Foam gun Spray and gloss. rinse steady flow, Dry, then Men. PO85RD or Optimum, then RMG maybe x 2, Then Pin. Finishing Glaze. Then the PS goes on. I want to start for fresh so.... The polycharger is due to ship the 12th. So Over the weekend I cand do the prep work and be ready when POLY comes in.

I live in IL and I usually get my stuff quickly too. Too bad it is not 11 degrees here and not expected to warm up for a few days.
 
I'm still having a hard time believing that CS is a 9-month protectant, by itself. Even on the Zaino site, it says for *maximum protection* to apply CS 3-4 times per year. To me, that implies that every 3 months, it needs to be renewed to its maximum state due to it falling off. I guess I'm just gonna sit on the sidelines and wait for more testing. Not saying I doubt Zaino claims, but something just doesn't seem right to me. :nixweiss :think:

The best analogy that I can come up with to explain what the statement was implying is this.

You set off on a car trip with a full tank of gas. The "maximum" you can get from a 20 gal tank with a mpg of 20 is 400 miles. You drive for 3 hours and you have travels 200 miles. Your tank now has 10 gallons left. Nevertheless, you still want to maximize the trip distance of your vehicle which holds 20 gallons at this point in time. How would one maximize this next segment of the journey? Add 10 gallons. You still had enough to travel another 200 miles but you desired "maximal" travel distance.



All LSP have a maximal protective period and as time and exposure to assault increases the sacrificial nature (protection) of a LSP decreases. What this statement is quoting is that "maximal" protection is about 3-4 months but incrementally decreasing to a point about 9 months where in most cases protection is probably gone.

Which means you can top off your protection during those 9 months or run the tank empty. In either case you have traveled the initial full tank maximal distance but by re-filling along the way you added same additional mileage availability in case of a detour(a life circumstances which doesn't allow detailing time) occurs.



Of course an alternative would just to Z8 after every other wash and maintain maximal protection and appearance for the whole 9 months and forego the CS every 3-4 months.

It doesn't say by itself.



"For up to 9 months protection, use Z-CS to top coat Zaino Show Car Polish protectants"
 
The Clear Seal has no discernable fragrance, at least sniffing it out of the bottle. The AIO has kind of a minty/chemical smell, similiar to Zaino's glass polish.



The Clear Seal is 6 ounces, not 4 like I thought. The AIO is 16 ounces I believe.
 
I agree with Edwin, you don't want to let LSPs go all the way until they are dead. I am getting 7-8 months out of Acrylic Jett but I recommend to my customers that I reapply it every 4 months to maintain the maximum amount of protection and appearance.



It would be the same with CS then. Let's say the 9 month durability is right on. Maximum protection at application. 4 months down the road, you still have 5 months durability, but maybe 60% of the protection a fresh coat has. Adding another application gets you back to 100% protection, plus the durability clock is back to 9 months again.

Very true. I agree also, especially if it will only take under 10 minutes to apply and you do not even have to remove.



CS=Simplicity

Even though ZCS doesn't contain alcohol, it had a hint of rubbing alcohol smell to me. For me, ZAIO smells a lot like bubble gum.



Off topic--How's western KS, Tyler? I'm from Leoti and haven't been back there for ages. Back in high school, used to have a lot of fun in GC :D

Where do you think Polycharger will fit in with CS? I'm afraid I am a sucker for anything new, so I bought some H2O Polycharger for my Z6 which I assume can be apllied at any time and followed by a coat of CS or applied on top of the CS to give it even more durability. Am I way off in my thinking?

I wouldn't add anything to CS. It would probably mess up the non hazing aspect. Polycharger with ZAIO should work.

Why did it take me a whole page to state what you summarize / explain clearly in 2 sentences?

Western Kansas is still, well, dusty :D Lots of cows, lots of dust, lots of tumbleweeds, and the farm trucks leave their dirty, clumpy, dusty, rocky treasures all over everywhere. Other than that, it's still flat!
