Iv'e been over on Autopia.org reading and theres a very respected member
that does detail for a living and he said all he does is use the Z-aio and then
the Z-5 pro and says this way you dont have to use the Zfx drops,and still
has the same great shine......the members name was "scottwax"

Honestly, I dont see how this could provide the same protection as the
way some of you guys in here do it.

Thats a another way to go, The Z-aio is an all-in-one polish. a little more $$
but not a wrong way, faster I'm sure. Check the site out, they have another one called Z-cs clear sealer that looks even faster/quicker just wipe on and walk away and your done. www.zainostore.com

How long would those last? Seems like the other stuff you guys have been talking about, you do maybe just a couple times a year? Then just regular washing and spray...

How long a polish stays on the car depends on a few things, if the car is not in a garage or covered the finish takes a beating not mention winter months. After you do the initial cleaning/polishing process you can get by with a few times a year, maybe clay the top 2-3 times a year if the car is out in the sun.

Nexus6,

and were do you buy.
