Which will look best on polished wheels Z2 or Z5?

I have used some Z5 previously on my polished wheels to bring out the reflection and add maybe add some protection. Surprisingly the Z5 lasted quite a while. I am out of Z5 and want to reuse it or Z2 on my wheels. From what I have read Z2 is more for lighter vehicles, while Z5 is for darker and claims to hide light swirls. Is there any difference in durability? Which one should look better on polished wheels giving the most depth and shine?

IMO you're not going to notice any difference between them on your wheels, maybe not even on the rest of the car.

You won't see any difference here. I have difficulty seeing any difference when used on neutral colors.

Thanks for the help. I have never seen Z2 used so I didn't know if there was much diference between it and Z5

I'm with the others, on wheels you won't notice a difference.

I can certainly see a difference between Z5 and Z2 on paint tho.

Your suppose to use z5 then top it with z2.
At least that's what I recall from the directions.
And you can do more than 1 coat of each.
