    Oops, yea I did let Z-CS dry, I buffed it with the Z8 the next day. The thing with Z-CS is that what you put on is what dries. So streaking will stay that way. I found that spraying the applicator when you first start makes the coats even out. After a while, the applicator gets "soaked" with the Z-CS so you don't need to spray it on the applicator and not as much on the car. I used the free applicator that Zaino sent me, its like a sponge! Either way, its an unbelievable shine, the Z-CS is a true miracle.

    My new regimine is AIO, followed with Z2, then Z-CS and then Z8. Of course clay if needed.

    Z-CS is sprayed on very lightly onto a small area, 1/4 oz covers the entire car, and then wiped down with a clean high quality cotton cloth.

    Per Sal Zaino, he uses Z-CS only if he is taking the car to a show.

    Z-6, gloss enhancer, per Sal, is more than adequate for the street car and is applied exactly as is the Z-CS

    WWW.Zainostore.com

    I went through their entire recommended process last fall. Since then, I occasionally wash the car with Zaino car wash and then apply Z-6 per instructions. Car remains slick as a baby's bottom.

    One of the smartest things I ever did was to have a hot water tap installed in the garage. Makes washing the car outside tolerable in 30 or 40 degree weather.
