The damn CS will spoil you. That and Z-8 and your done.
Just finished CS and Z-8 on mine. Getting ready to take it out next weekend. I'll do CS followed by Z-8 every night till then. I expect to gain at least 10hp and improve my mileage to boot. The car will look good also.

So can you then add CS on top of Z8, or is there a wait period ?

I am not sure what you mean by very old, but as long as the surface isn't in need of claying due to imbedded surface contaminants you don't need to strip it. Just wash it and follow up with some Z6. Then use whichever Zaino product you prefer.
