    Hi,



    I own a jungle green Astra-G. My actual LSP setup is PB Natty`s Blue + DG AW + Meguairs UQD:



    (yes, I know... Dirty wheels... )







    Do you recommend Z2pro or Z5pro? (I can order only one... :bawling



    I was wondering Zxpro + Z-CS + Z-8.



    Tks!

    Z5pro for the darker color.

    I had this debate in my head for a while. I already had Z2 and then I saw some pics of black cars with Z5 and I couldnt resist. So I placed my order a few days ago. I will use Z2 for light cars and Z5 for dark.

    I think your current system is ideal.



    For deep wet shine the Natty blue topped with AW is hard to beat. The Zaino might offer longer protection but will definitely not add any extra wetness to the paint.



    Natty blue is one of the wettest looking wax`s around and AW is pretty much the same as Z8 which you would use as the LSP in the Zaino system.

    Z5pro & Z8. Extremely hard combo to beat. Add a coat of CS + Z8 every now and then.

    Natty`a blue looks great but from what I`ve read durability is poor.

    Z-5 Pro on darker colors is great. On my Jet Black car I don`t use Z-2 anymore because Z-5 Pro + CS + Z8 looks so fantastic ... and adding Z-2 doesn`t seem to enhance it at all.



    On our gray car Z-2 certainly seems to add some pop, though.

    IME, poor would be an accurate characterization. I might as well use canola oil, durability would likely be similar.

    To apply multiple layers of Z5pro is necessary adding ZFX? (At zainostore.com nothing is said about this unlike Z2pro)





    Please comment this combo:

    Menzerna IP + Menzerna FF + Z5pro + Z6 + Z5pro + Z6 + Z-CS + Z8.



    Is this the right choice?



    :thx

    I`m new to this whole zaino stuff.



    Why does it seem implied that ZxPro is an LSP? Its a polish correct? People speak of layering it, yet its a polish?

    Same process applies for Z5pro as Z2pro.

    Z2/5pro are both LSPs. They are sealants.
