Zaino Z5 on a Sunlight Silver?

On various sites, it mentions that the Z5 is mainly used for darker colour cars. Has anyone used the Z5 on a Sunlight (In conjunction with Z2) with good results?

I've used both Z5 and Z2 in my sunlight silver, plus Z6 (gloss) on top of them. I don't really see much difference between the two, but I alternate between them as I bought the full kit.

You can click on my sig to see pics of my car. The pics on the bottom of the page are most recent and show the car with about 6 coats.

Thanks for that. There are 2 packs available- one is the complete kit (Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7, ZFX, claybar) and the other is without the Z5. This pack is being pushed for lighter colour cars.

I bought the biggest kit they had available, which included the leather stuff. I don't think I really needed it, but I wanted to try everything out.

I only used it once. My car is brand new, so I really can't say if it's helped any. All the zanio stuff smells great though, if that matters to you.

I dont know if you will see much of a difference in result between the Z2 and Z5. Z5 is more for removing swirl marks. They mainly recommend the Z5 for darker colours as swirl marks are more prominent on darker colours. A coat of Z5 on the S.Silver cannot harm I guess. I've ordered in anyway and will post a result in week or 2.
