If it was me, I would do a second layer of the Z5 or Z2 (so you have 3 ZFX`d layers on there...or 4 if you have leftover ;) ). I think the ZCS is really redundant in that regimen. IMO, you can maintain your base with ZCS or Z8 pretty much indefinitely, until it`s time to repolish. I dunno if it`s worth doing both the next day. Z8 is crazy slick but of course ZCS is a bit less work to apply, sort of. :)

very good point, i was thinking about doing more than one layer of z5 or z2, how long do i wait between zfx layers - can it be immediately?

As long as it`s dry...you know, swipe test. Usually if you start at one end by the time you`re done and take a breather for a couple minutes you can start wiping it off. At least that`s the way I remember it...I`ve been a little lazy of late and using the ZCS...

Good weekend to do it! Suppose to low 70`s and sunny. That`s why I have a golf trip to attend to!!! 5 rounds in 3 days.

Unfortunately I will be in Westerville at the range warming up for this weekend. Friday I have 2 rounds at Cumberland Golf Club and then saturday-sunday I am in Cleveland playing 2 other courses.
I would love to swing by sometime in the near future. :cool:

Z8 isn`t as much of a LSP as Z6. Z8 is more of a spray sealant. For ultimate gloss, Z6 should be the LSP. This is according to Zaino.
