Isn't the Z-5 for non-clear coated cars? It's not new, Zaino put it out years ago. I never used it because I'm a Z-1/Z-2 kinda guy..all clear coat all the time

Oh, I see. I just got the email re: the new Z-5 PRO product update. I'm not planning on trying it but am looking forward to hearing your opinions.

When I got my email reply with your first reply, I about **** in my pants! I though to myself, why on earth is Zaino sending me this notice, if Z-5 has indeed been out for so long!

Then I sow your second reply and was able to relax!

We'll see how it works when it gets here..

I got my email today, too. I am going to order some when I use up my Z2 and Z5. That stuff lasts sooooooooooo long. Maybe that is good.

Keep us posted on how you like it.

I haven't tried the Z5 Pro, but I still have about a half full bottle fo Z5 left. I found that the old Z5 worked ok at hiding small swirl marks. I'd be interested to see if the Z5 Pro is an improvment on this.

I'd be surprised if there is even that noticeable a difference on a white car. The color of the finish seems to hide imperfections much better than on a darker car. It's also hard for me to imagine you even letting your car get any imperfections! Let us know if you see a difference.
