..now that the weather's broke to the warmer. I found CS really odd: I couldn't see it.. I have real trouble with Believe Me kinda stuff ..things like molesting priests, lying politicians, etc.. come too quickly to mind.

I got a little streaking when I tried too hard to see the product. Yet, it self-corrected and dried very quickly ..then POP. I'm pretty sure.. I could see a jump in the gloss right away. This has got pretty decent Jeff's layers as a base..and the paint is not very old, nor exposed to much UV, so it's not going to pop like I'd expect from a Black. It's very glossy and slick, so I expect CS to help keep the dust from sticking ..'till I blow it off with a 3rd gear pre-wash. Thanks Sal. Nice product.
 
I love it. The look is great. Very glossy. Only problem with me is that if I look hard enough, I can see where the product was applied.



Today was my 5th time using Zaino CS. Each time I have used it, I have been left with streaks (small trail of where the product was left behind)



The amount of product I use is "One" spray to the applicator before I start. One for each section (door, fender, half hood, ect).



Whats wrong?
 
But by doing that, I find it impossible to even tell if you're putitng anything on. Considering the way I do it now, there are still parts left with no trace of product, even with no drying time...





Has anyone tried applying CS with a PC? lol... Maybe somethign with a MF bonnet.

You know, I thought of that, my only problem is the waste of product.

Nothing is really wrong, both CS and Opti-Seal will do this if you use a little too much. Anything left behind that doesn't clear out can be easily wiped off when completely dry.



Try going back and forth over each section (without adding more product), slightly working it in. That really seems to help.



Jim-the Porsche looks beautiful! Very wet looking. :)
 
CS is very apprehensive when showing itself, but if you can see it when applying that means you are using too much, cut that to 60 - 75% and youre good to go, if you can see a slight notion of overapplying with cs my numbers will put you in the perfect range
 
Has anyone else noticed that CS looks insane at night? Very glossy when driving past a CS'd car or looking at it under flourecent lighting... Makes for some nice nighttime photography.
 
The problems some of you are having (and I have not used CS) sound like what I've experienced with SG and the old Z5...the product when applied very thinly simply flashes and disappears, making it very difficult to see where you have applied the product. What I found in those situations is it helps to try to be methodical in your coverage, and also be aware of the feel, as the areas that have been covered will give less resistance to the applicator. (Thanks to Accumulator for verbalizing this process previously with SG)
 
On my dark blue car I always get a little CS streaking showing up, even after some cure time. Some Z6 or Z8 does the trick. Matter of fact, QD'ing with some Z8 after CS app is part of my standard routine.

Not often does a picture alone sell me on a product, but this picture made me place my order. I can't wait to see it on my Blue Ice DeVille.
 
I put it on VERY liberally on black and on red. Both worked really well. There's a sheen almost like an oil slick at first, but both times it dried up and looked great. Now if it would JUST STOP RAINING :-( I'd do it again.
