I have enough Z-6 for maybe one more go round the car. I'm kind of in a rush to get the car looking its absolute best so I don't really have time to order another bottle. Is it okay to directly use the Z-5 (I have surface scratches) without Z-6 between the layers? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just picked up some Zaino products this week. The distributor said that it was not totallly needed to do the Z6 between coats. They did recommend finishing the whole process with Z6. Sounds like that's what you plan to do. Got for it. I just did the first application today. Took me all day. She looks good now though.

Couldn't tell what the Z6 actually did. It didn't look any different then when I finished putting 2 coats of Z2 on. Hmmmm.

Z-6 is optional, but definitely helpful between coats. It'll help remove the rest of the residue after buffing out each coat, leaving a perfect finish for the next coat (or just finishing up).

Oh the jealously, it's way too cold out for me to be even thinking of adding coats of Z-2 and Z-5!

Motor-On,
Ryan
