Thinking about changing products...

[WuNgUn]

I've made up a wish list for Santa, and I was wondering if I could get some opinions...
It seems to me, Zaino is a very highly rated sealant amongst users here, so I've been thinking about Z5Pro and Z8...
Before applying this, I was considering BlackFire Gloss Enhancing Polish (glaze), as it seems this provides an nice deep, wet appearance...

And, of course, I already have SSR 1 to 2.5 for prepping...
If anyone has tried this combo, I'd love to hear from ya...
Also, do you Zaino users typically apply carnuba over the Z5/8 proccess for added depth and shine?
Thanks

Any glaze that you use with the Zaino sealants will cause bonding problems with the Zaino system.

Do your paint correction with any product that does the job for you. Use a 50/50 ISO/water mixture, KAIO, or the Zaino ZPC Fusion to clean the paint to make it acceptable for the chosen Zaino sealant.

IF going with the Zaino system do not forget to purchase either Z1 or ZFX to aid in the bonding of the sealant system to the paint. Both work well but the ZFX will aide in curing time. You can add as many as three layers of the Zaino (polish)sealant in 24 hours using three to five drops of ZFX in a one ounce container. Unless you are doing a large SUV or pickup one ounce should be more than enough for three coats. Remember that thin is in with Zaino.

If you choose to purchase Z1 polish lock you may only put one application of a Zaino (polish)sealant on the paint. You should allow twenty-four hours of cure time between coats if using ZI polish lock to activate the Zaino(polish) sealants Z2Pro or Z5Pro.

Z8 will help maintain the Z2Pro or Z5Pro. It really is not a stand alone type sealant. It does add to the protection as well as bring back the slickness and add to the shine.

Zaino is a great line of products. The results you can achieve are very good. My mom got mad at me yesterday because she wanted to take her van and go shopping. I was washing the vehicle. I told her she could go shopping after I was done "waxing" it for winter. I applied a coat of Z2pro with Zfx ( 99 pewter colored chevy) without taking the time to properly polish the vehicle. After she got back from shopping she told me that her van looked better than any of the newer, clean vehicles in the mall parking lot.
