Quick question: Do I have to top Z5...

boyce'06 330i · 12-28-2006, 09:57 PM

with Z2 or another sealant? Would Z5 alone protect the car? I have two coats of Z5 on now and I'm beat (long day at work), thinking of buffing the 2nd coat of Z5 off and doing a quick detail with Z6 and be done with it.

I know, I'm a weanie...

Z5 does not need to be topped, it is as durable as Z2, the only reason to top it with Z2 is if you prefer the look of Z2, which some guys do and some guys don't.

+1 Exactly; conventional wisdom says Z5 looks better on dark colors/dark metallic colors. Mine is Sg, and all I've used is Z5.
