you can do that but using a good polish or AIO type prodcut to clean the paint first is highly reccomended.

Actually it is worth a lot more. I personally would spend double for it. Than again I have used CS and realize and view its value first-hand.:heelclick

I've always been curious. Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of the diehard Zaino fans have Zaino stickers on their window? I know there are some loyal followers of other brands too, but not as loyal as to place a sticker on their car. It makes me wonder if they're sponsored and makes me question the validity of their claims.
I think the average person thinks that $30 for 6 oz of product is already a lot of money. To say that you'd pay $60 for 6 oz, isn't that pushing it a bit too far? I've accidentally knocked over my bottles of polish and wasted a bit of product (Klasse AIO comes to mind..I hate that bottle). I would cry (maybe not literally, but I would be mad at myself) if I accidentally spilled an oz of product.

The stickers come in the zaino kits. Sponsored? I wish. :chuckle:
I think others who have used the product agree that an oz can really go a looooong way, especially clear seal.

To the average person who doesn't demand perfection , then yea it would be pushing it.
Your dealing with true fanatics. Yes I am also a huge zealot and I also try every product I can get my hands on, I love testing products its my passion. I have no affiliation or loyality to anyone , I buy or trade for all my products. Honestly if somehting better than Zaino comes out I will use it. With CS and ZAIO Zaino has just widened the gap IMO.
I paid over $500 for Zymol and didn't blink an eye ( until my wife punched me in the eye

Nothing against Zaino, and I love Sal's product line, but no stickers at all on my vehicles (only exception would the State inspection sticker).
I guess if you call being "honored wish the task (of love)" of beta testing Sal's products as being paid... well my response to that is that my reputation as an honest reviewer and person is worth more. Quite easy though to discuss and review Zaino products.
Zaino products always delivers. :xyxthumbs

I hear you loud and clear.
I actually ordered and paid for a sticker because I was so impressed with the Zaino line.

I know how you feel with your thoughts. I use to think that all the time when I heard people brag about zaino and had stickers everywhere and it was zaino this and zaino that. Then coming to these boards I would here it again over and over. It used to get me so mad that I wanted to jump on there car at car shows. So I just stayed away from there products. I broke down one day and ordered the whole kit and I put every product they had to work. With a negative mind trying to find something negative and bad about each product, I then came to a conclusion 3 hours later. These products kick some major butt! With my tail in between my legs I then realized I should have looked at these peoples enthusiasm with a positive outlook. I guess I was at fault or it was just the way they went about it. Anyway, I am now a proud user of Zaino and I will continue to use it on my own cars and my customer cars. The biggest part I love is the ease of use with most of the polishes and now the new ZAIO and ZCS. It just got even easier when I thought it was already easy.
Back in the summer when I had a question about something, I called Zaino and Sal answered and I must have to say that he is very into his products and just not the money. He is big into cars also and is a big car nut like all of us. Zaino is is blood and he is always woking very hard to make the best and will continue to make the best. After talking to him I respect him and his products so much more. He helped me alot with my questions as he knew everything about his products and he made them all from scratch. :think2

Ok...I just went out to my garage and tested the Zaio and CS on my Jeep. It is about 10 degrees but I don't care. I tested a small 2 foot panel with ZAIO and the wiped on CS. It is very cold out and the CS took about 45 minutes to dry. ZAIO is the best all in one product I ever used and it took out all the marring even on the hard paint I have by hand. Left a very nice glossy finish. It was a very impressive finish!
I then wiped on CS and it was very cold out and it took 45 minutes to dry. I am surprised it did not freeze, but it went on so easy leaving a tint on the paint so you know where it is.
After 30 minutes it was looking good but was not dry. After 1 hour it was dry and the finish was so dam glossy I was floored. WOW! It's funny you just wipe on and go watch tv and then come back and it's done. I can't wait to see it in the morning. It looks like I just sprayed a coat of rock hard clear on my Jeep. Now I can't wait to do the whole thing! Well worth the money!
Oh ya, for a 6 ounce bottle it is a very good size bottle. Half a pump did a 2x2 foot spot and my cloth was still very damp. Now I know what you guys were talking about it spreading a long way and it does not take much. The ZAIO was in a bigger 16oz. bottle and it is a very good size bottle. I could do a whole car in an hour with these 2 new products. I have a feeling I am gonna make a lot of money in the spring with these 2 new products. I am now a happy detailer!

So you could easily tell where the ZAIO/CS was applied? Did you do a whole panel or just part of a panel?

I tried the ZAIO/CS on a small 2x2 foot panel. The finish was already flawless though and I still could tell he difference nght and day! I also just checked it now this morning and it was a thick crystal clear shine. My Jeep was wearing 3 coats of 1000p and 3 coats of PW and the ZAIO/CS was 10 times more glossy than that with 80% less work. I honestly thought the ZAIO was going to be like a normal aio cleaner, but it had a good bite and and left a great gloss by hand. Put this on a pc with a white LC pad and I bet it will kick butt.
I also did try the ZAIO on a beat up Couger at my shop by hand. It did some amazing wonders on the paint and made the mettalic paint pop big time. This weekend when my shop is clear, I will try some before and after spots and take some pics.

I tried Zaino once a few years back....The process at the time frustrated me greatly and I abandonded the product (gave it to my brother-in-law). Now....before I get barraged by messages, I am very certain that I was doing something wrong in the process. I would tell anyone that the problem was mine and not the product. I have been detailing cars for almost 20 years (Since 1988 when I got a job working on a detailing crew). I have always been a traditional polish and wax man.
So when I read about Z-AIO, I was a bit skeptical but thought I would give it a shot. The shot below is mid process (jet black 2002 ES300)...

I couldn't wait until I was finished to show the results. In the foreground is the rear quarter-panel that I have yet to buff. The colored lines reflected in the trunk are pool floats stack at the back of the garage.
I'm a little stunned. I don't think my car has ever looked this good. The depth of the reflection is unbelievable and it was very, very easy to apply and remove.
I haven't even put the CS on yet....:heelclick
