carnuaba paste waxes usually last longer than their liquid counterparts. Zaino is a liquid but it is not a "wax" it is a paint sealant. 2 coats of Zaino should last around 4-6 months.

Does it give the same protectant as a wax? if u use 2 coats of Zaino is it correct that i dont need to wax my car ever if i keep using Zaino every 2 months?
thanks

I just got my Zaino couple days ago. They are amazing! Very worth it.
You should wait at least 24 hrs before you apply the next coat of Zaino.

Sorry for asking so many questions the reason i ask is because if i buy the Zaino i will not buy anything else again (like wax) so for my black car i should use use Z5 and Z2. in which order? Z5 first then Z2? and do i need to wait after i take the Z5 off to put the Z2 on? Or do it right after?
I am pretty lucky and i dont have many swirl marks on my car so should i still use the Z5?
Also on my silver CLK is it ok to just use the Z5 forever.
Sorry for all the questions i just dont want to do anything wrong.
My cars always looked good with just the Meguairs gold calss wax but i am hoping the Zaino will make it look better and keep it prtected better.
Thanks for your help.

. I would order both, some people prefer Z5 on black some prefer Z2. I like Z2 because of that extra gloss it gives over the "deepness" of Z5. Sal Zaino always recommends your last coat to be Z2 because of its better optical clarity, so on silver i would definitely use Z2. I would use Z5 first and then Z2, see which you like better, this is also the order they recommend on the zaino website. Yes u do need to wait 24 hours after taking Z5 off to Z2 unless u have used ZFX. Z2 Z3 and Z5 are all the same paint sealant except, Z3 is Z2 with special additives to help non clearcoated finishes and Z5 is Z2 with an agent that helps fills swirls marks. Z5 however does provide a slightly different look on black than Z2, Therefore I recommend you get both and experiment! Please post pics and your results! Thanks!

Also before i apply the Zaino can i use any dishwashing soap or does dawn do anything special?
But in the mean time till i order it and it gets here, back to the question about the meguairs #9 swirl remover if i just put it on and once its dry wipe it off and dont put a coat of wax over it is that still helpful? or does it not serve a purpose without wax on top of it.
Thanks alot for your help, thanks to u when i'm done my car will look better than new.

Get some Zaino Z-6 also. Use it between coats of Z-5/Z-2. It makes the finish appear deeper. Z-6 is a great quick detailer for clean light dirt between washes. I carry a bottle and micro fiber cloths to clean up bird droppings, bug splats etc.
