For sunlight silver, I would probably just skip Z5 all together and use Z2.

I would do at least 1 coat of z5 regardless of color. more coats of 5 the darker the color, as jedi said.

oh yea...as far as wheels I use soapy water and a soft bristle brush. I also have taken them off and wash, clay bared, and zainoed the wheels so they clean up very easily. For tires I use zaino perfect tire cleaner.

Q: Can I use an orbital polisher to apply/remove Zaino polish?

A: Yes, you can use an orbital to apply Zaino Z-2, Z-3, or Z-5. I don't recommend it because you waste too much polish that way. The pad on an eleven inch polisher can absorb almost enough polish to coat your entire vehicle. Each time you use an orbital to apply Zaino polish, you are probably wasting as much polish, if not more than you actually applied to the car.

Zaino polish applies easily by hand, especially if you dampen the applicator pad with water and spritz it with Z-6 before applying it.

If you use an orbital to remove the residue, you should place a white, 100% cotton towel between the pad and the paint, and keep it turned and refolded often so that you are removing the residue with a clean section of towel all the time.

Note: A single orbital pad WILL NOT remove the polish residue from an entire vehicle. You will have smears if you don't use a towel and turn and refold it frequently.
