ZAIO-CS by Hand vs. Cadillac DTS

[mgm2003]

Looks awesome John. Z-AIO has become my favorite cleaner wax type of product. I also like the fact that you no longer need to do a Dawn wash or use ZFX if you sue Z-AIO first.

Sal still recommends washing with Dawn as an initial step to clean silicone/etc... from the jams and hard to reach areas.



After I found out about Sal's background as a painter, I stopped asking soooooo many questions about the Dawn wash ---> It's intended to give you the best results, when using his products.



That said, I've never had any problem with Dawn washes, or seen any adverse effects when used as a prep step.



FWIW, products work best when you follow the directions (but I have questioned a few of the directions myself).

Was the paint warm when you applied CS?



I was going to apply CS last month on a friends car, but was worried about the paint being too warm as the car was sitting in the sun.[quote name='gmblack3a']



Thank You.



CS was applied in partial shade(it was pretty sunny out). The paint was warm to the touch, so I'd have to imagine we were working with > 100 degree surface temps. I would not apply in the sun to a dark color.



The dry time was accelerated from what I've seen in the the NE (much cooler temps).

John, Thanks for your reply. That flake looks great!
