Default Looking for Zanio Z-AIO feedback

It's a few years since I have had to place a Zanio order. In the past I have used their clay bar, Z1 precleaner, Z2 polish, Z5 swirl polish, Z6 spray, and Z7 wash.

I was getting ready to order some more Z1 and Z6 and discover the Z1 has been replaced by Z-AIO. Z1 was $9 a bottle but this new stuff is $27 a bottle!!

I still have enough Z1 for one more application. I'd planned to do the whole process since I've not done it in nearly four years but I keep wondering how AIO can be worth that. I'd only be using it as a foundation since I plan to do two or three coats of Z2.

Comments on AIO? Worth it?

i will be in the same boat soon...
really liked the z1/z2 and had several bottles of z1 but coming to the end-
of all of their products those were the only ones that i continue to use regularly. do use z6 sometimes, but its not my go to qd. i prefer carnauba based qds.

I presume you mean the Wash & Wax Wacko??

Because I have the illusion that I am a Track Wacko who does Winter wash & waxes.

Goto Autogeek.net and buy yourself up some duragloss.

http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss.html
Their Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) #105 is like the Z1/Z2 from Zaino.

I used to be a big Zaino buff till IMO they remarketed their product.

Also Duragloss Aquawax (AW) #951 is 10x better than Z6 QD.

Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate #901
Duragloss PreCleaner (PC) #652
Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) #105
Duragloss Aquawax (AW) #951

I advice not to go overboard with their Aquawax. It builds up and begins to cloud. If you're a once a week wash and qd wacko then only use Aquawax once a month and in weekly washes use

Duragloss Fast Clean & Shine Detail Spray #921

Tires - Clean semi shine - Duragloss Tire & Rubber Mat Dressing (TMD) #253

armour all shine - Duragloss Wet Look Tire Shine (WLTS) #281

All this for about $35. Deal running at Autogeek 15% off plus Free Shipping on $75+

I like Aquawax but it's not a QD like Z6. It's a spray wax. Two different purposes.
