Default The Dark Side

After all of these years, I finally crossed over to the dark side. I have been a carnauba guy for forever, but I tried Zaino today. I must say that I am impressed with the ease of application and removal (I was extremely careful as to not get too much). The shine is slick, and I am anxious to see if it really holds up like you guys claim. Thanks for all of the expert advise.
By the way, I used AIO on my daughter's garage queen Celica and my wife's Tundra, and AIO and Z5pro on the Vette. I am going to hit the Celica with Z5pro and hit the Vette again with it. I plan to use Z6 in between. Should I follow with Z8 or CS?

Welcome.
I use ZCS only after an application of the sealants. Part of the directions for ZCS should be to apply indoors.
I have gone to misting ZCS directly to the pad, one shot/panel.
Follow with Z8 after cured, and you will be good to go.

Welcome to the dark side, or should I say the shiny deep and wet looking side.

Yes, I would follow up with Z8 at the very least or CS/Z8 for the ultimate shine.
