Zaino Z-CS & Z8
I have been using the Zaino Z2, Z5, Z6 and Z7 products and have been happy with the results. Based on some threads that I have read here I ordered the Z-CS and Z8 products a few minutes ago. I am confident that I will be amazed by the results of these products also. Can you share your experience with these?

As with all the Z sealants, the prep is the key as you already know.
Apply ZCS inside, mist the pad once, then mist each panel and make sure you cover everything with overlapping strokes. You may not be able to see it going on, but be careful to cover and you will be fine.
The only time I use Z8 is after an application of ZCS these days.
I have marked my bottle of ZCS with a piece of tape, like watching a vodka bottle from my kids, and I have used very little for each coat. A little does go a long way.
I am extremely happy with the results.

I always use Z 8 after Z-CS. The gloss is incredible! And the paint fells smoother than glass. You'll be very happy with the results. Follow the instructions and use SPARINGLY

Use the ZCS VERY sparingly. I had difficulty early on until I got the hang of it. Do not try to cover the car like a wax. You almost can't see where you have applied it. Just overlap and use very, very little. 1/2 to 1 spray per panel. Then finish with a LIGHT mist of Z-8. You will love the shine and the slippery feel.

Looks like you've got it figured out! The Z-CS/Z-8 REALLY makes the metal flake jump out as your last picture shows. My Mag Red has never looked better.
