How many people use this instead of Z-6 in between layers of z-2 and z-5?





Being as the Z-8 is quite expensive is it worth the extra money to use in place of the z-6?

I don`t use either Z6 or Z8 between layers. I normally use Z5pro/ZFX as a base and then add a layer of Z2pro and then use Z8 as the final topper. In most cases I use Z8 after the next wash. You can use Z6 inbetween layers but I`m not sure how much is to be gained from doing so.

I use Z8. It may be overkill though.

If I use anything between layers, it is usually Z6. One can use Z8 between layers but it should be ZFX activated (1 drop to 1oz Z8) so that the subsequent layers will have a solid base(cured) to bond to.



I would stick to Z6 or nothing between layers and top with Z8 the next day or after washes.



With all that said, I have used Z8 between the final 2 layers during some experimentations without any adverse effects. This was performed with the vehicle staying garaged overnight and not exposed to any elements.

Z-8 is in a league of its own, nothing can touch it.

Z8 hint: Z8 is heat activated so use sparingly and on cool surfaces. If used on a warm surface you can get streaks.

I use Z8 and I am positive that its worth it. The slickness of the product is 2nd to none, and it keeps by Z fresh after each wash. I spray a very fine mist onto the door and then completely buff off. Many times I will mist fast and cover 2-3 panels at a time to ensure I have applied it VERY fine. One tip with the streaking is to wait a an hour after you have applied any z5pro or z2pro to apply the Z8.

Z8 is strictly a topper for me, either after a wash or after applying a refresher coat of Z2 or Z5. I`ve tried, per some suggestions here, putting a squirt of Z8 in the bottle when I mix Z5 or Z2. I`m not sure I can see a difference in the shine, but I do think it makes it easier to apply the product. Also, I spritz the applicator pad with Z6.

I use Z6 in between layers, but I usually dont do multiple layers at one time. I like to add a layer every other month or so. Z8 after a wash. Z6 between washings.
