Shine of Z5?

I don't really feel like buying both Z2 and Z5 right now unless I really should so is the shine between these two pretty similar? What do you guys think, thanks...

It really depends on the color of your car. I know of many people that only use Z5 on their darker colored cars. Both Z2 and Z5 were reformulated earlier in the year, and the shine of Z5 is IMO every bit as good as Z2, and it's a bit easier to use too. Unless you've used Zaino for quite a while you'd be hard pressed to notice the subtle differences in shine between Z2 and Z5. Z2 is just a bit clearer and a tiny bit glossier, but that is really splitting hairs.

So, my recommendation is this: for a lighter colored car....use Z2, for a darker color, use Z5. With the shine of Z5 nearly equal to Z2, the added beneft of Z5 is it's unique ability to fill in light marring that's more noticeable on dark colors. Both offer the same protection though, so it's not a compromise to use one or the other by itself. I happen to like both on a dark red, but if I had a dark blue or black....I'd probably use Z5 more often.

Here are a few shots with just Z-5 (with ZFX) on two different cars.

Mike, free for you Thanks for the kind words, Zaino helps make them look better for sure, and much easier to keep them clean.

Sounds good, my car is red so I think I'll just stick with the Z5 and see how I like it. Thanks again for the help!

Here is an example of what it should look like with both Z2 & Z5.
