I bought the Zanio kit and last weekend did the whole thing. AIO, then CS, then Grand Finale.

I did the quick wash today, lots of beading and easy to get the dust and stuff off.

But what to do after this wash? Do I reapply the CS? Grand Finale? Nothing?

Also, how much time should I allow between products. I read somewhare to allow 12 hours between applications. That seems awfully long - impossible to do the whole car in a day....

Advice on the triple threat application from Zanio?

I don't think there's any need to wait between products with these new Zaino products. After washing all I ever do is use the Grand Finale to finish up, though even that's probably not necessary!

You don't need to wait 12 hours. You can apply as many coats as you want with AIO. If you use Z5 Pro, get the Accelerator mix they sell. It makes it cure in 30 minutes or less, as opposed to 12 hours. However, for just the triplet package, the only thing you need to let dry, after wiping on, is CS. That should take about 30 minutes to an hour. After that, spray on Grand Finale and go.

As for the washes each week, I just spray grand finale on afterwards, wipe down and go.

btw - what do you think of the results?

I really liked the AIO wax. Easy to put on and take off, no streaks. The CS perplexes me, it looks funny going on and gets streaky when dry. The Final finish, detail spray is good - it takes out the CS streaks.

Is it really different than Meguires Detail Spray?

Oh yeah - I liked the smell of the wax - Is that worth the effort?
