I just wanted to say thanks to Carl for his great service, I am a first time customer of his. He was very helpful when I spoke with him Wednesday. He patiently answered my questions regarding Zaino and quickly processed my order. I received an email confirmation with the order info and a second email with the tracking info.



My Zaino products arrived today, beautifully packed (no way anything was breaking... I'm still cleaning up the packing paper - hehe) and all accounted for.



Carl included some Zaino applicators and a sample DF towel, too. Very cool. I will without hesitation order form Carl in the future.



I ordered the Zaino Triplets (Z-AIO, CS and Z8), Z6, Z7 and Z10.



My car is dirty (rain today), but I pulled it into the garage and went to work on the passenger side mirror. I Z6'd it, applied/removed Z-AIO, then applied CS. The Z-AIO left the surface beautifully smooth, clear and glossy. The CS went on easily and left no streaks (the car is silver). I'll wait a little while and go over it with Z8. So far, I really like the look - very clear and wet. Looks a little like freshly sprayed paint.



I'm looking forward to doing the rest of the car.



Thanks again, Carl.

Edit: I just tried Z10 Leather in a Bottle - works well, applies easily. The smell is a little strong, but not too bad.
 
Carl is very active on the Cadillac forums and is always willing to help out over there. Zaino is a very good product!

Geez, this stuff beads!! Yesterday, I used the remaining CS I had on the applicator to coat my tool box lid. A couple of hours later I came back and, just out of curiosity, I sprayed some distilled water on it - the beading was awesome! The water almost bounced off the surface! Of course, I realize the fine mist of the sprayer didn't hurt, but still. You just gotta love some damn fine water beading... :D
 
Well, I finished the whole car with Z-AIO/CS (later, I added Z8 to one panel)... it looks good, but not great. The KAIO/AJ combo I had before noticeably richened the color (car is like a platinum silver), was very wett and really made the flake jump out. The Zaino looks good, but it almost doesn't look like there's an LSP on it. Kinda looks like clean fresh paint.



10 hours later, I applied some AJ to one area... the previous look came back. Tomorrow, I'll apply CS over the AJ and see what happens. If it locks in that look, I'll consider CS a durability booster to AJ and make use of it that way.



Question: if I want to try and stay all Zaino and add Z2P or Z5P to the mix, 1) which one should I choose, and 2) will either change the look compared to my current Z-AIO/CS? TIA
 
Ok, I just topped the area I applied AJ over Z-AIO/CS combo with another coat of CS. The CS did not change AJ's look.



Fellas, it's unbelievable... the area where I topped with AJ literally looks a different color silver than the rest of the car with Z-AIO/CS. AJ over Z-AIO/CS looks just like KAIO/AJ I had originally. At least on this paint, AJ looks richer to me.



Anyway, any opinions regarding Z2P/Z5P under CS? I know I can use the AJ under/over CS to get the desired look on this car, but if I wanted to stay Zaino, which of the two would you recommend, if either? Instinct tells me Z5P, but?? I'm getting low on AJ so my next order is more AJ or possibly Z2P or Z5P. TIA
