Default Z1 and Z5

Ok, I want to do the first coat for my car, so is Z1 and Z5 can be mixed together? or apply Z1 first (sectioning) then apply Z5 on it??

Also should I apply Z-product in circular motion or back and front motion?

THX

Not to be rude but READ this link before you start. Apply Z1 allow to haze (dry). Do NOT remove then apply Z5 over it. Do NOT use circular motion. Follow the lines of the car. On hood go from cowl to bumper, doors and fenders top to bottom and so on.

Per Zaino Site:

Z-1

Make sure vehicle is clean. Apply a thin coat of Zaino Bros' Z-1 Polish Lok

Z-1 does not have to dry before applying Z-2 or Z-5. Remember to apply only VERY SMALL amounts of Zaino! As long as you can see the applicator leave a very thin trail across the surface, you have enough on the car. Z-1 goes on with a DRY applicator, while Z-2 and Z-5 are ALWAYS applied with a slightly moistened one.

Zaino is dry when you can wipe your finger across the surface and a crystal clear finish is revealed without steaking or smearing. Drying time depends on how much you applied, temperature, and humidity. You may apply a second coat of Z-2 or Z-5 six hours after removing the previous application if the temperature is over 70F, below that wait 24 hours.

Use Z-6 Gloss Enhancer after removing the polish. A generous amount for a S2K would be about 1/2 ounce for the whole car.
