It shines
It lasts
It is stupid easy to apply (go on youtube and watch the video)
I'm sure there are better products, but I haven't used them yet.

I prefer to use Chadwicks Triple Play. Super easy to put on, and no more washing and drying your car first. (I know, it is weird at first) I am a former Z user, but have switched to Chadwicks and love it.

I use it and like it. If it streaks you're using too much. There is another company that makes a similar product but less expensive. I haven't used it personally but one guy over in car care (Rohnk?) gave it positive reviews. Do a search for ZCS over there and you should find it.

When you spray this over the top it gives a shine far superior

I used to use the Z-CS on the Vettes but stopped in favor of coatings which will last longer.
I continue to use Z-CS without any other products on a 1995 Ford F150 that I take a DA polisher to on occasion. Just hit it with a polisher using a medium-abrasive polish and then apply Z-CS and done with it. Always get compliments on that truck.

I always get streaks until I wipe it down with Z-6. Then is shines. Not sure it is worth the money.

I use it or Optiseal. I like Z-CS better though. The shine is a little better.
If you're getting streaks, your using too much. Basically 2 spritz to prime an applicator pad and one per panel is all you need, your first panel should be the hood.
Then Z6 for maintenance or Z8. A lot of people say they don't see the difference with Z8, but I can, and I've had compliments after using Z8. So i'll use it once in a while. It deepens the shine.
I think if you are going through a full Zaino process, the Z8 won't make a difference, but if you're like me, I polish once or twice a year and then Z-CS and Z6 or Z8, it makes a big difference.

I have and was surprised how nice and easy it is. I've used all their products since I heard about it on the forum. You can't beat the deep look but follow the directions more coats the better. Each coat you will notice a deeper shine.

I would love to put it on last but it streaks no matter how little I put on. So I have no choice but to wipe the car down with Z-6 to remove the streaking. The car glows if i use Z-6 or ZCS so spending an extra $30 for ZCS seems like a waste to me.
