Opti-seal and Zaino Z2 pro

[bsl888]

I've been reading all the rave reviews about Opti-Seal and would like to try it. I am a Zaino fan and use both Z2 and Z5, but have not been overwhelmed with ZCS. Can you top Zaino with Opti-Seal directly?



I have been using ONR and Z2, with a Z6 wipe down in between, and found no ill- effect. I wonder if Opti-Seal is the same in terms of compatibility.

Sure Optiseal would bond over Zaino. I'm not sure there is really any look to be gained since OS is clear like CS.

Opti-Seal definitely has a wetter look than the version of ZCS I have and it does work well over Z5 Pro. Looks really good too.

Great! I"ll be trying it out as soon as my order comes in. Thanks for the feedback.



Btw, can I apply Z2 over Opti-Seal later, let's say a couple of weeks later when I use ONR and layer on more Z2?

I would think you can alternate layers as you wish.

After a wash applying Z2pro would be fine as long as you use ZFX.

...if you want quicker setting/curing. But if you have time, Z2Pro will work great alone.

I've done it, it added the distinctive "Opti-Sealed" look to the paint, and *seemed* to enhance the beading a little (although my beading/durability results with Zaino have been a bit mixed in my limited usage). I don't know if I'd add Z2PRO back over it after a wash, I might be concerned with bonding. It's worth a shot, though.

Sometimes Z2pro can be finicky about bonding. Using ZFX is best.
