What are the main difference people have actually noticed between Z5pro and Z2pro? It sounds like the Z5 is supposed to contain fillers - have yall users actually noticed filling properties?



Thanks.
 
I personally don't notice any filling at all. IMO, any wax/sealant that deepens the paint will hide *very* faint marring. What I mean is, if you had a perfectly polished black car, someone washed it with a dirty brush, then you applied Z5 *only*, it would look better, but it would still marred to heck.



It's not going to fill anything that you see in 1000 watt halogens.



I find that Z5PRO darkens the piant a little more and is a touch slicker after it cures. I prefer it to Z2PRO for some reason, perhaps I just use it more. :nixweiss



Either way, I don't think it really fills--especially at the autopian level.

And now that I look at it, I don't see discussion regarding the fling properties the Z website asserts.

*Read* the thread and you will find your answers:



Quote: Z5 Pro will synthetically fill very minor marring/swirling. To maximize this attribute, leave the residue to dry for about 30 minutes, and then remove. I would recommend this product predominantly for solid colors.



For the consumer wanting just one product, I would have to give the nod to Z5 Pro. With a slightly easier learning curve and minor filling abilities, Z5 Pro is an instant classic. I have yet to hear a *bad* review on the product.

Z5PRO works great for the minor blemishes I have after a meticulous polishing session. :2thumbs:

Hope this helps.

Z5pro has a filling polymer in it. It's somewhat subtel tho. If I wasn't comparing products on the same panel I might not have noticed the filling. IMO Z5pro topped with Z8 is killer on darks.
 
I have used both of them... honestly I can't really tell the difference between Z2Pro and Z5Pro... looks the same to me, but perhaps my eyes aren't trained enough :)



I have a gray metallic car... so I have a "dark" and "metallic" car... I don't know which looks better :)
 
I think z5Pro used with z2pro looks deeper and wetter than using either by themselves. I don't think either fill worth a darn, but for looks and durabilty Zaino is the best sealant out there.
 
Yes as Sean said it does fill, but it may take a few coats for lots of marring and still may not fill everything. It's best for final finish polishing and any leftover minor marring.



I have both Z5-Pro AND Z2-Pro on my black '06 Porsche and with Z8 it's deep and wet looking. Not as deep/wet as say a Souveran waxed black, but getting really close!



Best is daily maintenance. Wash/QD, DONE! Back to perfect. Zaino works well on wheels too! Even glass!



Z5-Pro is best enjoyed with ZFX. This aids in the cure time. It also helps in bonding to the finish.



Just make sure your finish is free from wax, oils etc. The better looking the finish the better Zaino looks. It's not a glaze in anyway.



Zaino keeps getting better and better!!
