What to use before Zaino Z2

Sonus sfx-2. Looks good and it doesnt hide things but corrects them....Will the Z2 play nice ? I want to use the z2 as a sealant, basically to protect the finish- sound good?

I did exactly what Zaino's site said to do for show room car in a day. Dawn wash, claybar, Z7 wash, It then said either Z5 or Z2 with ZFX. I used 2 Coats of Z5 with ZFX followed by 2 coats of Z2 with ZFX followed by 1 coat of Z6. This included doing the same on the wheels but use a different clay bar for the wheels than you do for the car itself. But a few days before doing the car I removed the wheels and did the same as I was going to do on the car so I could practice using Zaino for the first time. It looked awesome after I finished and is very slick. After a week of rain and dry, rain and drizzle, it is still extremely slick. As much as it was, if not more, than the day I finished.

When it stops raining breifly, all I have to do is drive a couple of miles and the car is dry again. Before doing so I would run through a car was to get dirt off, but would have to drive on the highway for several miles before it would dry off.

I will no longer go through a car wash now, instead I will use Z7 followed by Z6 and in about 6 months I will do the entire car from dawn to Z6 again.

I have an 04 that is 1 year and 1 month old with 31K miles on it for reference.
