Which will make Black wetter looking before LSP? Menzerna FTG or Zaino Z5?

Planning on prepping with IP then FP, on a Black '04 Audi. Question is what to apply after that. I'm going to put down two layers as well...



IP -> FP -> ? -> ? -> (Z2 or ZCS)



I've tried ZPC and looking to try something in an effort to get better than black with a slight haze, and that's the reason for going with Menzerna IP and FP. I'm looking for a dark, shiny black. I don't like black that looks line a dark charcoal grey in direct sunlight...

I would have suggested the RMG or Pink Moose but since you are using Z2 or ZCS as LSP than I will suggest Danase Wet Glaze instead for that wetter look.



IP -> FP -> Danase Wet Glaze-> Danase Wet Glaze-> (Z2 or ZCS)

Another great process(s) other than Zaino that I found to make my black car appear very deep close up and soooo wet from a distance.



IP--FP--Prime--Menz. FTG--CG's M-Seal <-- Beading seemed to last forever.

IP--FP--Prime--Menz. FTG-- JW AJ/AJT <-- Beautiful beading, but seemed to not last long.



Beading can be bad sometimes. I will post my facts in a bit.:woohoo:

The haze is in your clearcoat. The remedy is further polishing until the haze is gone. Doing this you are focusing the light unaltered to the basecoat (black) and not refracted into other color spectrums by CC imperfections. At this point you can use any quality LSP to protect.



If your black has any metallic elements in it, you will always have a silvery-gray reflections at some angle(s). Even a non-metallic black will give this appearance at certain angles.



IP and FP should deliver the look you are after.

Thanks all for your responses. I'm also looking to fill some things that dont come out in the polish and to make sure the black is as black/deep/wet as possible.
