1rst aplication and 1rst layer of Zaino.

Hello,

When I apply after dawn and clay the 1rst coat of Z2-PRO is it better than before apply a coat of Z8? If I do this will the Z2-PRO stick more or less?

After 5 month, if I want to apply 3 more coats, I wash 2 times the car, dry it, and then should I apply Z8 before Z2-PRO or directly Z2-PRO without Z8? If I aplly Z8 before do this will the Z2-PRO stick more or less?

I say this because I notice that applying Z8 makes the buffering of the Z2-PRO once is Dry a lot more easy to take out than If I aplly directly Z2-PRO the first time.

Off couse I will continue putting Z8 between coats.

Best Regards.

The Z8 is a finishing spray, something you would hit the car with right before you show it or head out on the town.If money isn't an object,then by all means use it the way you are using it.I however use the Z6 between coats of Z2.I don't apply after I dry the vehicle. I just apply the Z2 and then use it afterwards.Post some pics so we can see your work!

Couple of things: You need to wash the car with Z7 (or another good car wash soap) after you dawn wash and clay. And before you can apply Z2, you need to apply a coat of Z1 unless you are using the ZFX.

As C43AMG stated, the Z8 is intended as a final coat, and not for use before or between coats of Z2 (although I don't think it would hurt). Z6 is what you should be using between coats of Z2 to help create a deep shine.

The car looks great!
