I use both, because I believe Z2 & Z5 yield better results when used together.

Alot of folks with black and dark colored cars use the Z-5 (no Z-2), due to its swirl filling capabilities. The newest formula for the Z-5 has increased shine and with the ZFX it will really shine. The Z-2 will provide a slightly better shine but it will be difficult to discern the difference unless you really have good eyes.

I have been using just Z-5 with ZFX on my cars, on a stock painted car I can not tell any difference, Z-2 has the best optics of all the Zaino products though.

Wait Wait...I have a black car. So you guys are saying that I should Just buy the Z5 and ZFX..and mix them together and just use that? I thought Z2 was the main wax that you put on after the Z5......

I am a confused child right now

how is swirl remover gonna make a car shine????? I have ALOT of swirl marks right now and want to get rid of them....i will get some z5 later on, after it warms up. I already have claybar and meguirs polish. What else should I get?

Zaino Z-5 is not a swirl REMOVER, what Z-5 does is fill and hide scratches over time, on dark color car 90% of my customers (including myself) just use Z-5 with ZFX, it offers just as much shine on a stock paint job as Z-2 IMO, now if you show your car you may want to finish with a coat of Z-2, but on my blue cars I can not see a difference, you could with the old Z-5 to Z-2.
