i fine 3 coats is really as best as its going to get..

but Zaino is more of a cult following.. we simply love adding layer after layer , some exceeding 80 layers on my past vehicle..

i fine z2 pro over z5 will add some depth and look better..

then subsequent coats of z2 pro is purely up to you..

I think of multiples coats of zaino as simply "therapy" whenever i wash my car ..

after 3 i would top it off with p21s... not what you were expecting to hear, but check it out. it will pop your paint even more than the zaino!

and its a lot easier to apply and remove. it works great over zaino!


thats my car in the ad and it is p21s over zaino (they dont mention zaino cause they dont sell it!):

so after the 3 coats of z5 i throw the p21s on over it? do i then put the z6 on over everything or should i put the z6 under the p21s? thanks, even with 3 coats on there and no z6 yet it looks amazing. cant wait to see it get better!

I'd say 3 coats is the minimum you should use. I usually apply 6 then top it off with Meguires #26 yellow wax.
