It doesn't require any more than any other sealant. Perhaps people add in in Z-8 which helps but is not strictly needed.
Z-2 Pro is only $14.95 a bottle which will last forever since you are only supposed to apply very thin coats.
Here are some of Zaino's competitor's prices:
Blackfire Wet Diamond is $29.95 a bottle. (CMA)
Klasse Sealant Glaze is $19.95 a bottle. (CMA)
Poorboy's EX-P is $17.95 a bottle (PB website)
Pinnacle Signature (carnauba) is $49.95 (Pinnacle site)
Pinnacle Souveran (carnauba) is $95.00 (Pinnacle site; Huge price hike: glad I bought mine at $60 each! Probably best carnauba I have tested.)
Zaino is a bit of a deal considering it beats all of the above and matches Pinnacle Souveran with even more durability.
Some people buy ZFX to layer on many coats but Sal Zaino has repeatedly said it is totally unnecessary. ZFX is a little pricey at $20 a bottle but you only need literally a few drops so that lasts for a long time as well. Other sealants cannot layer as well as ZFX powered Z2 Pro or Z5 Pro.
Well, to be fair, the Zaino bottle is only 8oz. I'm not sure what size bottles the competitors are. When I would use Zaino, I was putting on Z5 and Z2, using ZFX if I was on a time constraint. That alone would be $50 of stuff. Looking at that alone, I can see where people would think it's more expensive
