Q for people using Zaino: how many layers do you use for good durability and protection?

I ask because I know a lot of people really layer on the Z but others probably don't. I can get near-indefinite durabilityand protection with many layers of KSG (as much so as I'd ever require) but with just a few layers the durability/protection isn't nearly as good as I get with 476S.
After polishing a vehicle, I'll do a wipedown to remove oils. Then, I'll apply a coat of ZAIO and remove. This makes a good base for Z2 or Z5. Then, I'll mix up some ZFXd Z2 or Z5 in the little bottle, and will then top the ZAIO with 2 layers of the mixture. Most of the time, I'll do Z6 wipedowns in between, but not always.

Additionally, sometimes I mix a 50/50 mixture of Z2 and Z5 in the bottle, add in the ZFX, and will add a squirt of Z8, shake this all up, and apply.
