Default Zaino Heresy

I am a Zaino man all the way, but yesterday I used some "garden variety over the counter" "Lucas Oil Quick Mist" on my tow vehicle Escalade after a wash. The Esky has many coats of Zaino and I felt guilty using the Lucas stuff over the Zaino but damn it worked well. I like that you spray it on the wet vehicle and when you dry with a microfiber drying towel it leaves a great slick shine! I am curious if others out there have used the Lucas product over Zaino. I have thought about using Z8 in the same way (spray on a wet car and wipe dry) but I wonder if this just dilutes and wastes the $$$ Z8- anybody have an opinion on this?

Thanks in advance.

Apply Z-8 after the entire car is dry. Let it bond to surface…

I use Z-8 the next day after using Z-2p….

I always use a leaf blower to get the majority of water off my cars after washing. Once done I usually spray Z-8 on the car and wipe dry with a waffle weave or 100% cotton towel and have never had any issues.
