If you look at their product page, they list how many applications you get per bottle.

But in a nutshell, that kit should give you enough polish to do about 40 coats; 20 of Z2 and 20 of Z5. You get enough detailing spray (Z6) to do maybe 20 coats. You get two bars of clay; their longevity depends on how dirty the car is. I'd guess you'd get 2-3 clays/bar. You get enough car wash (Z7) to do maybe 15 washes.

So, you're getting quite a bit of polish. Most people seem to do like 3-6 coats per "treatment" (you can do more, of course), which is supposed to last 6 months. So 6-12 "sessions" a year? Like, 3+ years of polish. You're going to run out of Z6 & Z7 way before polish. Zaino has that Z6+Z7 "Maintenance Pack" just for that reason, I suspect.

I'm a Zaino newbie - I just did one car and it was 3 weeks ago. So I am hardly an expert. These numbers are just from what Zaino has on their website. But having done the one "treatment" on my Subaru Outback, I'd say their estimates are correct. I did 3 coats of Z2, and I would guess that the bottle is now about 85% full, which jives with ~20/bottle.

I used a bit more Z6 than I probably needed to, and I can tell that's already become a go-to product in my arsenal. Seems like it's a really awesome detail spray. Like sfearl1, I can see myself burning through it pretty quickly as I'll be using with normal washes on both the Outback and the soon-to-be-Zainoed Z.
