Zaino, wanting to try it out!

Try the total protection kit. It won't hurt you too bad and it comes with most of their popular products. Oh and add a bottle of their tire gloss.
 
If you plan on doing Zaino better make sure the surface prep is close to perfect. Zaino is clarity plus and than some.

Same here but I also suggest that you get a bottle of their tire gloss it is excellent. If you have leather seats their cleaner and conditioner are also awesome. Come to think of it so is their glass polish. The only Zaino product I have not tried is their plastic polish.

By using Z-AIO you won't need to buy ZFX.

Why won't you? Sorry, I don't know the zaino as good as some others.



I thought AIO just basically cleans the surface and the ZFX makes the z5/z2 cure faster so you can apply another layer immediately after each other.
 
The Z-AIO will bond to the paint. The Z2 or Z5pro can be applied over it and will cross link bonding it. If you want to apply more than one layer of Z2 or Z5pro in less than 24 hrs than buy the ZFX. Save yourself $20 and do the second layer the next day. Z6 would help with a wipe down (clean dusting) before apply another layer the next day.
 
I was in your same shoes 2 weeks ago. I've tried just about everything out there and for the most part pleased with them all but there was just something missing LOL. Yes, ZAINO! I read about it left and right on this board but always thought what the hell, I have 3/4 full bottles of everthing why do i need another. Anywho, fast forward to a boring day at work and I put in my order for ZAINO, got the stuff last tuesday, used it this past friday and I love the stuff.



So that was the long way of saying I ordered the Zaino ALL IN ONE, the Z-2pro and some leather conditioner. I'm no pro, my paint is in good condition and those 2 products worked great.



One other thing I have to mention is that this is the first time I actually followed the directions for a product and really you DON'T need that much product of either Z-AIO or Z2pro. Use the amount recommended on their web page. To give you an idea, using the ZAIO just on my hood took maybe 3/4 of a thimble full of ZAIO. You think it's not enough and won't do crap but really it does (I applied with a PC by-the-way).



good luck
 
IMO, I would definitely pick up ZFX. Even if you use ZAIO you should only apply one non-ZFX'd coat every 24 hours or so. Zaino is one of the few sealants that allow you to apply up to 3 coats consecutively minutes apart.



The beauty of Zaino comes in layers, multiple layers.
 
If I was a new customer all over again, I would get only Z-AIO, Z-2pro or Z-5pro, Z-6 for sure, and if you want to have that final touch up get Z-8.



And for my leather, Z-9 & Z-10. Great stuff....
 
Personally, I think Z8 plays the biggest role in keeping the gloss looking it's best and locking in the protection even more everytime you use it. Z8 is a must have and must use. I use it on everything on the exterior and repells water superb.

I dunno, I did the Z-AIO/Z2Pro/CS and in my limited "test" it's not holding up nearly as well as when I previously did 3 layers of Z2Pro/ZFX. Mind you the car was never polished before the Z-AIO (Z since new), so arguably this time was the best prep yet, but the beading is already dropping off. Maybe this is just a CS characteristic.

Absolutely, I agree, z8 is unlike any other ouch up spray sealant/qd. Hell all of Zaino's products are fun to use anyhow.
 
Start off with one of the kits. After you tried and realize you love the system, get some Clear Seal as a present to yourself and a dose of envy from your friends. You will now be stocked for years with all you need as a week-end warrior besides a PC, to make your vehicle(s) look great and tops in protection. :xyxthumbs



What is your vehicle?

CS does have unusual beading characteristics. It doesn't give the uniform, tiny beads other Zaino sealants do. Call me crazy, but I like those little beads. It does, however, sheet water very well, so it is there doing something. Looks are, well, good but not mind blowing. Also, it doesn't seem all that slick to the touch.



I expected the total package from CS, but I think it could use a tweak here and there. The only quality of CS that really amazes me is its ease of use. Literally - five minutes and you're done. If it really is as durable as they say, it's a good base for another LSP, but as a top coat, umm.. I like Z8 better.

That's good because CS could be really great with a few tweaks. Application is there, if its looks, slickness and beading can be upped a bit, I'd certainly buy it again.
