I have 3 coats of Zaino car polish (2 coats of Z5, 1 coat of Z2). I think I'm starting to get addicted on adding more coats. How many coats is recommended to get the ultra shine?? How many coats of polish do you guys have on your G35?

 

my detail guy uses somewhere between 1-5 on my g.

 

i would do 10.

 

I have around 3, about the same mix as you. Depending on the color of your G more coats may help. My lakeshore slate doesn't stand out as much as my previous navy blue car. Zaino is good stuff.

 

I have multiple coats. Started with ZAIO, then:
ZCS
Wax
ZCS
Wax
ZCS

All applied in 4 months. The car looks great, the wax gives the depth I was looking for. I'm probably going to get some Z2 Pro soon and try that.

Zaino is the ****, as good as the outside of my car looks Leather in a Bottle is my favorite product by far!!

 

I would use 3. Past that, you are really hitting the realm of diminishing returns.

 

I have to disagree here. Each layer I put on has added more depth and gloss to the car. You're probably right about a point of diminishing returns, but it's not 3 coats. I know from my own experience.

Also quoted directly from Zaino's website:
"For any Zaino polish application, it's critical to include either ZFX OR Z-1 Polish Lok. For that show car finish, we prefer to use ZFX with Z-2 Show Car Polish. ZFX replaces Z-1 and is superior to Z-1. Z-2 Show Car Polish should be applied with our 314 Polish Aplicator pad. The key to our ultimate shine, is multiple thin layers of Z-2, with Z-6 between application. The results with just two coats of Z-2 are amazing.

If your finish contains fine scratches or swirl marks, Z-5 Show Car Polish will safely fill and level minor imperfections. As you layer Z-5, these imperfections will disappear!
So for the ultimate, your shopping list includes ZFX (or Z-1), Z-2, Z-6, Z-7, Z-18 and a couple of #314's applicator pads. For minor imperfections, pick up some Z-5. If you're working on a paint finish that doesn't have a clear coat, simply replace Z-2 with Z-3."
