Z-8 vs. Z-CS

[autobahnshine]

For silver, after three coats of Z-2 Z-FX'ed, what would be best? Z8, or ZCS?? Of course, all prep work will be complete also.

You can never go wrong with Z8, this stuff is amazing. It makes anything look better.

 

[gmblack3]

Z8 will be the slickest and add a great amount of gloss.

Z8 is el numero uno en mi libro, Great product!

If you only want to get one, I would also go with the Z8. If you have both, I would apply an occasional coat of Z-CS, and follow it up with Z8.

I had wondered if all the hype on Z8 was just that...hype. I had finally bought some...it's not hype. The slickness is just ridiculous. Hell I even spray it on myself after I shower! Ok that last part wasn't true, sorry. So yes Z8! Z8! Z8! :laugh:

i have a silver mdx z8 is the way to go IMO

 

[autobahnshine]

so how's this lineup for a silver car??

wash

clay

polish (sip, 106ff, etc whatever needed)

Z-PC

Z-6 (or re-wash depending on condition)

Z2 pro zfx'd x3

z6 in between each coat

z-8

 

[derekbmw]

sounds great, you can go straight to Z2 after ZPC.

Do you need to us Z-6 between each coat of zfx'ed Z2? If so why? What are you cleaning off?

 

[autobahnshine]

zaino reccomends it... i dunno, jdi

 

[autobahnshine]

oh yeah... is it 'zay-no' or 'zie-no' ??

 

[derekbmw]

by doing Z6 wipedown, you're making sure the paint surface is clean. Z6 is concentrated, so if you have problem using it, dilute it 50:50.

But if you are using ZFX'ed Z2, you are putting in on w/o any time lapsed from the last coat, what could have gotten on the paint that wouldn't get on it immediatley after finishing the Z6 wipe down?

 

[derekbmw]

true if you're not taking any break (or minimum) between layers. Z6 wipedown also helps buffing off remaining spots you missed.



So it won't hurt either way.

z2 can seal in the shine from each z6 coat, so why not just do it? it's even coverage- end of argument lol but back to pronunciation... zay-no ? zie-no ?

 

[imported_SHICKS]

z-8 hands down, I've tried ZCS and it was not for me.

Don't you mean z6 can seal in the shine from each z2 coat? If not, how can you have coats of Z6, its a QD?

I like Z-8 for the "looks".



I like Z-CS for that fast extra protection.



Z-8 gives much better depth in looks, while Z-CS sharpens the looks.



Always Z-8 after Z-CS, but wait a few hours or the next day for Z-8!!

Very well put. I love and use both each week.
