What exactly is Z8??

Zaino Z8 that is.
I've done some searching and can't ever seem to find a conclusive or definitive answer.

I actually got some last Christmas (that has since been used up). I do like the look and shine it gives...but what exactly is it?

It says 'spray seal'. Is it some sort of pseudo-sealant? Is it just something you can throw on top of any LSP, be it sealant or wax, to get an extra pop factor? I'm just having trouble figuring out what it is and how it might affect what order you should put in on.


Thanks.

Who knows .. Zaino has so much crap out now its hard to believe anything in that site.


When it was Z2 or Z5 it held some credibility but now its all hype and marketing.

If you got it for X-Mas and its gone already its a pretty expensive to use as your using it.

On a broad definition, yes, but in practice no. Z-8 is a synthetic product that is basically like a quick detailer. However it has more of "gloss" enhancers than it does protection and sealant agents. It'll bond pretty well but those gloss enhancers won't.

You can think of it kind of as an LSP topper to add even more depth and gloss for a short amount of time.

That's what I was thinking. But wasn't sure. Thanks.

It's pretty good stuff. The shine is nice and your car will feel good to the touch.
