Zaino Z2Pro vs. Poorboys EX-P

[P1et]

Even though I just bought the entire line of Poorboys products, I still have quite a bit of Zaino left. I'm assuming I can use Zaino with the PC as well, right?

If the answer is "yes", can I use the Z2Pro in place of the EX-P? I always used to layer and layer that Z2Pro on my truck, but understood that the EX-P only needed a layer or two before putting on the Natty's Blue.

Any thoughts/comments are appreciated.

It will depend on what you are using to polish the vehicle out with. PB's has a final polish with carnuaba in it and you cannot do that under Zaino. The surface must be free from wax and oils for Zaino.

I haven't gotten good results using Zaino and the PC to apply it....If it is working for you, then stick with it. I'll use the PC and a MF bonnet sometimes to do the initial removal of Zaino, but always follow that with a hand buffing...(no laughing...).

Z2Pro and EX-P are both pure sealants. Both offer nice looks and an easy to use product. Using the catalyst with Z2 will offer longer durability. My only complaint with EX-P is it is rather thick and hard to regulate into a thin coat like Z2 and other sealants like UPP, Wolfgang, Blackfire, and FMJ.

I would not use either over a polish with oils and fillers. I would rewash or wipe down (alcohol) first as the benefit is the sealants durability factor. I would not personally apply either with a buffer, but could easily remove either with micro bonnets.

mine is from original release, like a thick hand lotion, I had heard rumors that it was redesigned, but until now thought of it as just that.

Can you put Pinnacle Souveran paste wax over Zaino Z2 sealant for an even better shine?

I have topped Zaino with several carnaubas, including Souveran, with very little effect. Give it a shot and see for yourself.

That what I was wondering as well. Could I do the following:

1) SSR2.5
2) SSR1
3) Zaino Z2Pro
4) Natty's Blue

???

Sounds good. Be sure to rewash after SSR1 or wipe down with water/alcohol 50/50 mix. That will make sure sealant bonds well to your paint.

Interesting tip Supercharged, thanks!
