If anyone remembers my first post, I did the whole "Zaino thing" top to bottom with great results.
Today was round two...
Wash, Dry, Z-6, Z-5, Z-6

My only disappointment today was with my MOTHER's car wash. It didn't seem to suds up as well as others I have seen. I will most likely get the Z-7 wash when I reorder my supplies, but besides that, everything looks GREAT!!!!
I will also try one more coat of Z-5 before I do 3 with Z-2/ZFX.

ZAINO REPS: Is it true that Z-5 is better for black paint??
I have 2 bottles of Z-2 and one of Z-5. I bought that amount because I planned on doing the Z-2, 3 coats at a time but it seems like Z-2 is better for lighter colors (so I've read).

Having a black cacr will probably mean you need a few more coats of Z5 than the normal user would. On my bright red car, 2 coats of Z5 took out the HORRENDOUS swirls made by the drive through car wash this winter. On the other hand, my friend with a black Cougar needed 4 coats of Z5 to take out swirls that weren't as bad as mine, but they were close. After he got done with the Z5, he used 3 coats of Z2 and that car is unbelievable looking. Although may car looks pretty good too if I dont say so myself!

I'm with SS (Chris), he's right on...

Z5 has worked great on my dark red, and it's almost a necessity for black cars. In fact, I know some owners of black cars, and even red, who use Z5 exclusively. The new Z5 formula shines every bit as good or better than the old Z2 formula, so it's really not a compromise, and most can't tell the difference between the two anyway...

Oh, and CONGRATS on your great results!! You must be loving it...
