I love the slickness of NXT and is really shiny but it washes off after the 3 weeks even using their NXT just wash weekly or everyother week.
I am looking to change to a product that will keep its "just waxed" slickness for a few months rather than a few weeks...so, between Zaino and Klasse, which is slicker initially, and which is slicker 2 months down the road.
Also, if I go with Zaino, I must use their Z7 wash and not the NXT car wash, correct? And am unclear if the ZFX is used with the Z5 as well as the Z2? And is the Z6 detailer really necessary between each coat and after the final coat?
If I go with Klasse twins, can I use the big ( BIG ) bottle of NXT car wash I have left?
Really seems like the Klasse is simpler and less involved, but my priority is the slickness feel lasting a long time.

I have used all of these products extensively.
Hands down Zaino is the slickest and will remain so longer than any of the others. It's a more durable polymer based system and will not wash off.
The Z7 car was is not a "must" but it would be silly NOT to! It is formulated to work with the polymer and enhances the slickness and shine every time you wash. I have done tests with and without Z7 and you definitely want to use it. Using other washes can cause smearyness and just aren't as slick. They often have carnaubas/oils in them wich don't jive with the z6 quick detailer (which you should use frequently for touch ups, etc) and when you start mixing chemicals things get muddy. Stick with the right base and it stays slick, glossy and crystal clear.
Yes, use ZFX with Z5 and Z2 Pro.
You don't have to use Z6 between each coat but it does seem to enhance the gloss a bit. Not a big deal. But you do want Z6 as a regular use QD. It's wonderful stuff and adds slickness every time you use it.
The new Z8 Spray Sealer is fantastic, too. It's like Z6 on steroids. It offers superior slickness and adds protection as well. It bonds to the Zaino surface.
You can use NXT car wash with Klasse if you choose to do so.
