Anyone used Zaino CS or AIO?

I've been a Zaino user for about 4 years but given how little you actually have to use I havent placed an order almost 18 months. Noticed that they have these two products and wonder what the story is on them vs their regular product line. Currently use just about everything else - Z2/Z5 polish, Z6/Z8 sprays, the Z9/10 leather products as well as the tire gloss and glass polish.

I've used both. ZAIO is good if you don't have a lot of time to spend on the car. It will get rid of very light scratches/swirls and leaves a decent gloss behind. ZCS is a great protectant for paint. Basically a temp clear coat (6-9 months).

I've noticed CS doesn't make anything look better, (gross, depth) but its been a good while 3+ months since a zaino treatment, and about 10 washes later it still beads water really well.

I like Zaino and have used it often. I put CS one once, but it rained soon thereafter and I didn't notice any difference in the car. I need to use it again.

I think the CS just makes the finish last longer, right?

AIO was great for me i used it about 6 weeks ago and haven't wash my car since and still feels clean. I applied AIO then 3 layers of C5 that's about it. That was my first time using Zaino and it was recommended by their rep and of course I heard Zaino from this forum.

Here's where *I* see these two products fitting in:

Z-AIO: A strong chemical polish with the faintest bit of abrasive to it. I use this predominantly on paint, but it also works well as a plastic polish, glass polish, and adhesive or bird dropping remover. Expect an extremely slick finish and 2-3 months durability. Follow up with Z8 after your weekly wash and push that durability closer to 5 months.

Z-CS: Clear Seal is dead clear. IMO, adds a bit of wetness over the surface, might mute your slickness a bit. I find this is a great protector. I did some beta testing on this product and at 6 months, it was still doing wonderfully. Sal estimates 9-10 months of durability. I would use it on a freshly polished vehicle, wait 24 hours to cure, and top with Z5 Pro or a carnauba for looks.
