Replace Z2 with nxt 2.0?

Hey guys,
I'm running out of Z2, and was wondering if i can replace Z2 with NXt 2.0. I usually apply Z2 followed by Zaino CS which gives a great shine. My buddy tried nxt 2.0 and i was impressed the way his car looked. What are your reviews on nxt 2.0? do u think this is a good combo?

Optimum rinseless car wash,
Nxt 2.0
Zaino CS (the next day or after 8 hrs)

I luv the fact i can apply Z2 almost anywhere, Glass, crome etc..not to sure if it would be the same case with nxt Also, I hve Zaino Z6 and Z8, I never used Z8. Is Z8 more of a sealant?

thnx

Z8 is a spray sealant and one of my favorite zaino products. Make sure you shake the bottle of Z8 well and use very little. I actually spray Z8 onto my MF instead of directly onto the paint.

When using Z8 with ZCS always apply Z8 after ZCS.

Z2 is going to be more durable then NXT and work better with the zaino system.

If you decide to go with NXT yes you can apply ZCS over any sealant or wax as long as its fully cured.

I have a balck g35 coupe and Zaino really didn't do a good job for my paint. NXT 2.0 works hella good for me. I use 2 coats after step #4 & my car just shines like no other. You get a fire shine for a good price.....

You should be using z5 the z2. Z5 fills and is for darker cars.

FYI, using Z2 and Z5 together on every car you do is a HUGE waste of product. Basic rule of thumb most hardcore Zaino=ists go by is that you use Z2 on lighter colored paint and Z5 on darker. There is NO benefit when you use both together. When I very first used Zaino I did the same thing but after a LOT of reading, studying and conducting my own tests, a cars surface will look NO different if you just use one over the other. So again, Z2 on lighter cars, Z5 on darker.
