After using this product my car was so slick that a fly tried to land on the car and slid off. Now that is slick. If a fly can not land on this wax and stay there imagine what chance a piece of dirt has to stay on the surface

id say u need them both.....
You should leave the wax for 1hr before you remove it to apply another coat...
The ZFX cuts that time down to 20..30 mins... so you can apply multiple coats in less time....
You wont use it eveytime... but certain days when u want to wax more than once to get a really nice shine, youll do it.

as for if youll notice it on white??? thats a good question... cause Z5 is for darker colors.....
if you want i have Z-2 (http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...roduct_Count=6) that you can borrow... and if you like it you can buy one...
I believe its there basic wax... i assume for lighter colors where swirls arent that noticeable.

Now I got something you might like, I use to be a Re amemiya nut back in the days
and Amemiya-san was a God to me. I found one of my old Japanesse tuner video's of him at his shop and his fire red FD. its in japanesse/VHS but its my treasure and you are welcome to borrow it.

Kel, Z5 is for color depth and for filling swirls.. not so much an issue on silver, white, or yellow cars. Z2 is for shine. You'd probably want to do clay bar first, then 1 coat of Z5 (with ZFX), followed by 2 coats of Z2 (with ZFX).

Does anyone happen to have an aftermarket midpipe they are thinking about getting rid of anytime soon? I have a greddy sp2 with stock midpipe and my AP is set to arrive today and I want to have a more free flowing midpipe before I start the calibration process. I dont care if it doesnt have a cat, dual or single resonated. Let me know please I also have a set of oem rims with tpms i need to get rid of.

No security or traffic cams in the area to possibly catch the person? what an A-hole the person must have been flying.

no security cams. i dont have the report but i think they caught them.
1. a guy that almost gets hit gave a pretty good description of car and driver, cause he actually got down to see if he was ok...
2. some guy followed them and also gave description of car and driver and his whereabouts.
3. there was a plate next to my car that wasnt mines.
ill prolly have pics tomorrow.
its bad but not this bad...
