Zaino Z2 then Pinnacle Souveran over the top.

Good polish for protection than some good carnuba for shine!!!

I personally did Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6 then new Zaino clear then Souveran. Looks money.

I still don't know why Sal calls it a Polish, it's a sealant; polishes are made for cleaning up paint, which Z-2/Z-5/Clear Seal don't do, they protect.

Your right, it is a sealant isn't it.

I didnt like their recent clear sealant stuff though, the stuff theyre actually calling a sealant. It left streaks even though I barely used any... At any rate the Souveran looks killer ontop of it.

I love Optimum Poli-Seal, corrects as it protects and comes out buttery smooth.

Well the best way to get a true show shine is to use a rotary polishing wheel and polish, I use 3M products, and then use a buffer, then a thin coat of wax, most waxes are the same, (dont use teflon containing products) then use a dry buffer to finish it off. Smooth as glass and shiney as hell.

Indeed, that is all I have read about it. I'll be picking up some Z-5 Pro next month for customer cars when I start up detailing heavily again, but I'll stock with Red Moose Glaze, followed by Acrylic Jett, and finally topped with Souveren on mine
