I did layer a thin coat, thanks for the advices everyone!
Still waiting for day time

I am curious to know thought one thing,

I did wash / clay all the steps I mentioned
and then layered 2 coats of Z-5'ZFXed "did use Z-6 and Z-8" After and between last night,
today I did one coat of Z-2 Pro ZFXed did Z-6 and Z-8,
How long will this last for if I wash every week once and do a Z-8 pass with each wash?

It really depends on where you live (acid rain, smog, etc), if vehicle is garaged and the severity of your winter conditions.
In my case with very mild winters (1-2" snow/year - very little road salt used), careful washing using Z7, 5-6 applied coats of Z sealants and Z8 weekly maintenence will keep my Escalade 6-7 months appearing "just detailed" and beading wildly.

Sidenote: I believe the title of your thread is: "Zaino on my M5, please advice".
Zane posted some very valid and good advice about applying thinly by hand. Applying thinly using a PC method for application should be quite easily accomplished. Any concerns about "complete" coverage will be rectified by the fact that you are applying several coats.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

Harry, you don't need both Z6 and Z8...its one or the other...I prefer the Z8 myself (if you put too much Z8 on then use Z6 to remove it). Once you have your 3 coats on you can dust and spray with Z8 to maintain. I washed my car twice this summer and it is black.

Z8 is a pretty durable product. After your initial layers of Z5/ZP Z8 maintence should last untill you want to re-detail in the spring.

Agreed. An application of Werkstatt's Prime and Acrylic Jett in late July 2005 and freshened with Z8 (Z8 works great with Werkstatt products!) in late winter and the car was still beading when my son and I detailed it earlier this month-August 2006! 13 months of beading is a great testiment to both product lines.

I was also using Z8 on a customer's M Roadster, alternating it monthly with the original Z5. Did that for about 5-6 months and it still looked freshly detailed and felt super slick the entire time.

You must be in northern Va. We can't buy rain here on the Va/NC Piedmont region.
