Default Which Zaino treatment?

I have already put my car through the Zaino treatment of Dawn detergent, claybar, Z-2, Z-6, Z-5 then ZCS along with Z-7 and Z-8.
In those days they didn't have Zaino AIO.
Will using just Zaino AIO with ZCS get a different result and different look than the above procedure?

The short answer is no. You probably wouldn't notice much of a difference. After your regimen there is little to be gained by using ZAIO. It does have a mild abrasive (milder than ZPC Fusion) and has similar components to Z2 and Z5. I would stick to the CS and finish with Z8. A spritz of Z6 occasionally to give it that just detailed look. I don't use ZAIO very much any more.

You probably won't notice much difference. I believe CF member Homer uses AIO and CS with great results. If I remember correctly he has an amazing picture of his old Lemans Blue C6 and it looks fantastic. Maybe he'll see this and post it up.

I've gone from multiple coats of Z2 etc to AIO, CS and Z8. I'm very happy with the results. A lot less work.

That is the the whole concept is less time and less work at this point.

I use AOI and call it good. My eyes can only see a wet car, dry car, dirty car and a shiny car.

The CS and Z6 is what I went to using when I do the Zanio and it did as good as when I was doing all the Z5, Z2, etc.....
