Thoughts on Zaino Z-CS
I cleaned my new car with dawn,
applied 1 coat of this stuff (sprayed around 25-30 sprays) let it sit for 6 hrs and applied a 2nd coat (around 20 sprays) let it sit for 2 hrs and applied z-8 now its a few weeks later and it doesnt appear to bead the water as good as when first applied. I've used Z-2 before on my G and was completely happy with the results... to me at this point Z-cs doesnt seen to work that well. any comments ? thanks ppp

I used it on my Ford Ranger (E92 335i en-route) and had the same experience. It left a nice shine, but six weeks later I don't notice the same beading I recall with Z-2 after the same length of time.
I plan to keep it and throw a coat of it on in between Z-2 applications. |

Here are some reviews on Zaino Z-CS
I haven't had a chance to personally use it yet. Seems like there are some mixed reviews all around. George |

I've used it and did about half as many sprays for my E92 coupe (maybe 12 - 15 sprays per my entire vehicle incl wheels and windshield). I work it in and don't leave any evidence of it on the paint e.g. heavy spots, streaks etc.
I never apply Z8 right away - I let it cure at least a day and sometimes wait for the next wash and then hit it with Z-8. I've done this even with Z2 and Z5 in the past i.e. wait for a cure time of say 12-24 hours before applying Z8. My ZCS is on top of Z5Pro and Z2Pro (Black Sapphire) and I'm going on 3 months with exceptional beading although I apply Z8 weekly which will certainly extend the durability. I was impressed with the shine from ZCS but that's been my experience - ymmv.

I ordered it, kinda expensive though. I've been really impressed with results of other Zaino products I've been using for past year:
Z2 Z6 Z7 Z18 I'm hooked on Z6. I hope this Z-CS works better. |
