I just cleaned with Optimum car wash, used Zaino AIO followed by Zaino Z-CS. I want to keep my process to a minimum so I did not bother with Zaino Z-2/Z-5. Will multiple coats of Zaino Z-CS be effective in extending the period of protection? How many coats is reasonable?



As an aside, has anyone used Optimum spray car wax on top of Z-CS and will it make my black paint wetter? (I am rather lazy and like the wipe on products)
 
yes layers will improve protection



a few people have topped zcs with a nuba and been happy with the results



u can also use a nuba and top it with zcs to lock in the look
 
Topping ZCS with Z8 is optimal IMO. Zaino Is a Lazy man's best friend since it's durability is second to none.



My process is usually Z7 ( or a waterless wash ) then ZCS then a little Z8. Of course this is after a base of ZPC,ZAIO and Z5 pro.
 
After applying a base of Z-2p/ZFX earlier this year, I have been applying multiple coats of Z-CS/Z-8 weekly to my 1963 Corvette with single stage urethane paint.



It's added a lot of depth.
 
You have a 63 split window?? Very nice, that is one of my all time favorite cars.



I had a 1958 Vette some years ago with factory fuel injection, I wish I had that car back now..........

Some days I curse it and on other days I "worship" it.



It's a high maintenance automobile. Anything can go wrong with it at any time. At shows, people can't get enough of the car. I usually see a constant stream of people taking pictures and talking about the styling.

I have a friend who has a fire engine red split window. By the time he was done doing a frame off restoration he had over $100,000 in it. He said if he had known that in advance, he would never have started in the 1st place..............

I believe it. I didn't go that far but I did double my investment in the price I paid for the car getting it back in shape. It is worth about $10,000 more than I have invested.

JJU, I would love to see you put a thread in the Car and Driver section with advice to others considering buying a restored muscle car or considering taking on a project. I love the old camaros, vettes, etc. but I'm not much of a wrench turner. Not afraid to learn but just worried about getting into something over my head. For example, every fiber in my body wants this car but my brains says it's a bad drug just walk away...

I hate to sound negative, but if as you say you're "not much of a wrench" I would steer well clear of the older muscle cars.



I grew up building/racing etc muscle cars, but I also made a living turning wrenches for over 10 years. Unless you can do most of your own work, an old car like that would be a total nightmare....

the best way to get a 69 camaro is to get a Dyncorn body for 14K and get someone to build it to your specs. You could have a completed car for 40-60k.
