Questions on Zaino

[imported_RedlineIRL]

What is the difference between Zaino's Z2 and Z5? Do they work better in combination? Is one more durable than the other? What would work better for a dark colored car?

 

[LouisanaJeeper]

Z5 is supposed to hide/fill light swirls, and Z2 is a standard sealant. Honestly, I cant tell the difference with Z5. I say just get the Z2 and save a few bucks

X2 ... Z5 to me was a waste of money.

 

[imported_RedlineIRL]

So they both offer the same protection and shine, but Z5 claims to hide imperfections?

 

[Mindflux]

Z5 will hide very minor imperfections. There are also some folk that think Z2 looks better on dark cars and Z5 on light (or vice versa, I cannot recall at this moment).



IMHO they're both worth having. There's two dollars difference, with the Z5 being the more expensive of the two. Try them both out. If you can't tell a difference use up your Z5 and then just order Z2 from there on out.

IMO Z5pro is a warmer/deeper for dark colors and Z2pro is brighter for lighter colors.

What he said. Z5 pro looks awesome on dark colors.

How much filling does z5 actually do?

None that I can tell. I've gotten better filling with Klasse and Werkstat (neither claim filling). Blackfire, NXT 2.0, and several others have much better filling than Z5pro. Not saying it's a bad product, just that it doesn't perform that function well. Zaino IME will make any blemish stand out.

Z5pro has very little filling but it does indeed fill.

 

[imported_DetailDan]

Probably good for customers who just want a wash and wax or sealant type deal?

 

[LouisanaJeeper]

i would use Zaino AIO for that, nice stuff

 

[imported_DetailDan]

Im not really interested in doing something like that. Just simple wash and wax or sealant.

Z-7 for wash



Either Z-2 or Z-5 for the sealant.. simple as that.

 

[imported_DetailDan]

Yep, exactly what Im looking to do. Not going to bother with Z7 though. Been using JS, but need something with more durability. Some minor filling is an extra bonus for my customers who arent interested in paint correction.

 

[LouisanaJeeper]

Z5/Z2 requires Z1 or ZFX for proper application.

 

[SuperBee364]

Z5/Z2 requires Z1 or ZFX for proper application.

You can substitute using Z-AIO for Z1 or ZFX.

 

[imported_DetailDan]

I understand if you're doing multiple applications in one day then you need ZFX. But if you're only doing one application total, or only 1 per day then is it still needed?

 

[LouisanaJeeper]

if it is the first coat of zaino, yes according to the guys at zaino

After you lay down your first coat of ZAIO you can lay down up to 10 coats of Z2Pro or Z5Pro before needing ZFX. All they require is 24 hours wait time between layering.
