wax preferences...

Zaino shine lasts a long time, easy to use and stands up to the elements. I doubt I will ever use anything else.

I'm new to Zaino and planning on purchasing the "Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit" which includes:

ZFX™ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive
Z-2 PRO™ Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes
Z-5 PRO™ Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches
Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray
Z-7™ Show Car Wash
Z-9™ Leather Soft Spray Cleaner
Z-10™ Leather in a Bottle
Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss
Z-18™ ClayBar

My question is I see this contains polishes, but do you apply a wax after as well?
I have always been under the impression that a polish is a cleaner while a wax is a protectant? Do you know if the leather products would work well in the Z's which have suede inserts? Any other product suggestions? Thanks.

Polish, then wax! The polish helps deepen the shine after you wax.
But make sure to read the directions for the products! I use Meguiars, I'm not familiar with the product your using. "Meguiars polish has to be whipped off before it dries"!

I woudlnt buy the protection kit.
I would buy these items and save cash if its cheaper
ZFX™ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive
Z-2 PRO™ Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes
Z-6™ Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray
Z-7™ Show Car Wash
Z-8
ZS-Clear Seal
Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss
Z-18™ ClayBar
And toss in 1 order for there yellow and white cloths each they sell that are ultra soft and you will probably be set.

Z5 is extra hard to use and i dont believe it really works as intended.

As for the leather stuff i never used it and i cant comment.

the new meguiars gold class carnauba plus is AMAZING. I also love the tech wax 2.0. Regular applications of either about once a month should provide great results as long as you quick detail and wash regularly in between
