Some of you have been using zaino for some time so I want your opinions on z2 vs. z5..
I understand that z2 provides more shine and z5 provides filling characterstic to hide swirls
but which one should be used to achieve the followings:

1) Wet look
2) Deep look
3) Plastically look

My guess will be z5 for 1 and 2. z2 for 3. Please chime in.

I've never used the Z5, being that I've used Zaino since i bought my car. But, I'm assuming, like the Z1, Z5 should be used only once to remove the swirls, then regularly use Z2.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You can also email Sal Zaino himself and ask him his thoughts.

Interested to find out everyones comments. Also do you have to spray the Z6 in between coats of Z2 or is this just to improve the look?

Yes, usage of Z6 or Z8 does enhance the look in my experience. Though I can't tell the differences
between Z6 and Z8.

Yes, it enhances the shine/gloss of the Z2, but you don't HAVE to. You could wash, then Z2, then Z2, then Z2, etc.. But between washes & Z2 applications, you can use the Z6. Again, not necessary. If you haven't tried it, you should try it and see how easy it is and how much of a difference it makes.

Z5 was engineered with some swirl hiding components, and if you have a light colored car, probably isn't necessary or called for, and using Z2 would be all you really need. I would suspect that Z2 would be the more optically clear product because of that, and best unless you have a dark color and some minor swirling to contend with.

Z5 is not a panacea even if you do have swirls-it can only do so much. Most agree it's very slight help, as do I, but at least it's something.
