Well, had my car done properly about 2 months ago with Z5, Z2 and finished with Z CS.
All I have done since is give it a weekly hand wash with Z7 and then a quick go over with Z8 Grand Finale spray. Works excellent, perfect beading in the rain and easy mainteneance.
Unfortunately Zaino is ridiculously expensive in the UK (about double the US prices).
I have noticed, though, and been recommend by many professional detailers that the Duragloss products are about as good. Used a few DG products before and can only agree and they are about half the price over here.
Anyway, here are a few pics, just a wash and a quick treatment with the Z8 Grand Finale.
Needless to say the rain came down in buckets 10 minutes later.

I'm guessing due to the import taxes is why Zaino is so expensive?
I would do exactly what you're doing but why not just buy a set of Z-5,Z-2, Z-CS and a couple bottles of Z-6 just one time? Those bottles will last you a pretty long time.
All I do is just apply the whole process every 2-3 months and then just wash/Z-6 (Z-8) it in between. Car looks like new. The closest look and durability to Zaino IMO is Menzerna and I know that's a European product so you might be able to get that cheaper there.

Hi Olli,
I am from Belgium, so understand you very well what you mean - zaino in UK, 2.5 times more expensive than in us and in Germany it is 2.1 time more expensive ...
I told this to Sal from Zaino and he said he is working on it ...
I order trough my friend in US, even including the shiping it is much less expespensive than to buy from european guys.
