Which first Z2 or Z5? I was reading the instructions on my Zaino and it says to use the show car polish(or z2) BUT I think the Z5 might be better for me b/c I have some swirls and scratches(well hopefully not too many tomorrow b.c I am having the car buffed) but I was wondering which one I need to use FIRST.

Re: Which first Z2 or Z5? If you have a lot of swirls I would use 3M swirl mark remover, thats if they are really bad, if not too bad, use the Z5, for a few coats, then follow up the next few waxes with Z2 and you will be amazed...

Re: Which first Z2 or Z5? The Z-5 will gradually fill in swirl marks IF you aren't putting in new ones, which takes a soft touch and the best towels and mitts. Use the Z-5 until satisfied with the swirls and start with Z-2. They are both completely interchangeable. The Z-5 is a thicker version of the Z-2 to help fill swirls better.

Re: Which first Z2 or Z5? I hope to have the swirls fixed tomorrow. The body shop I am using to get the car buffed uses 3M products and he said the guy said that he could remove 90% of the swirl marks.
So it WON'T hurt to use Z5 first?

Re: Which first Z2 or Z5? After getting the swirls fixed, rewash the car with Dawn to remove any residue from the 3M before applying the next application of Zaino.
