..Anybody use Zaino Z-CS Clearseal??

Hello all. I just ordered all my new car detailing gear for when my new baby gets here. New wash soap, polish, and wax. Has anybody used the Z-CS product? I like what I'm reading, but just want to hear from some hands on experience.

Thanks!

Hey Crowley, did the CS seem to add anymore shine or gloss to the look? Or do you think you just put a $30 bottle of hairspray on your car?

To be honest, I didn't notice much of a difference ... hopefully someone can chime in for you that has used their products longer....

I did Z5, Z2 and CS I believe ..

I think the CS is about ease of use so you don't have to wipe it off, just let it dry. Z-2 will probably always give the most shine but the Z-CS might provide more durability for a good top coat.

I use CS and I cant say I notice any difference. Im just hoping it adds more durability too. My car gets washed only once a year though and the Zaino coats are still doing their thing so I just follow up with 6 and 8 after the wash. This was my routine pre CS and has continued since CS was introduced.

The biggest difference IMO is the Z6 and Z8 as far as shine.

I put some CS over Mother's wax - looks great, and hopefully will last longer than the wax alone would.

It's very difficult to get Zaino CS to not dry cloudy on a dark car. I wound up having to go over it with some Z6 when it dried, then it looked great.

Haven't tried it on my 1-er yet, I need to wait until I can do a proper wash with Dawn in order to prep the paint for Zaino.

Its my 3rd car, not my daily driver (I dont Zaino my DD). Ill Zaino my 135 and that should average more than 2000 mile a year so we'll see how durable Zaino really is. Especially CS.

Been using Zaino products for 4 years now

Used all the products, Z-2, Z-5, AIO, ZCS, and ZPC-Fusion cleaner. They are all awesome and have longest durability and shine of any in my humble opinion. The Z-2/Z-5 polishes give best gloss but the ZCS sealer gives about as good and way more durability. If you put this on too thick it wont dry right, and as a matter of fact, all of their produts need to be thin, thin, coats. Hard to get this point in a country where most think if a little is good, then alot is better, eh ?
They are I believe tweaking their CS to resolve the feedback that I just gave you about my experiences, and a few hundred or more possibly thousand professional detailers who use their products and many others. All of their products compliment the others, and I have had no complaint or issue with any of them. The CS product works great with a final spray of Z-8 after the CS has cured - this taking longer or shorter time depending on your temps and humidity levels. Here in the Northwest in the winter that cure time would be 24-36+ hours or more... I dont work for them or am a dealer for them but I wish I was. DanF
