I just used the brand new CS and wow could not be easier. Of course this is over Z-5pro and Z-2 pro. I still think Z8 is an addicting drug.
Happy with Black...you bet!

Black is veryyyyyyyyyyyy tough to keep perfect. I used to use Zaino products until I started using a detailer that comes to my house once every 3 months to wash/polish/wax/detail the car. He uses TROPICARE products religiously and let me tell you, they work! His name is Scott and this is my 9 year old Supra paint (according to him the best factory paint he's ever seen along with P-cars and Ferrari):

I used to be a big Zaino fan, but it takes so dang long to apply all those coats. I started using a 3M polish, and it appears to be doing just as good a job...
The Zaino leather cleaner is amazing, though. Haven't found a better substitute for that!

WOAH! I just got back from taking a day to wash, wax, and test my new IC pipes and BOV. All I can say is that the Menzerna FMJ is the best wax I've used, and all I have owned are black cars. The pics don't do it justice, and I think I'll go with another coat next week, but the paint looks WET with great depth and reflectivity. Kepp in mind that this is an amateur job by hand - I can't imagine what you could do with professional tools. Unbelievable, it looks better than the day I bought it.
