I am currently using z1,z2, and z6 on my z.

I did some research and was informed that KLASSE AIO is the same as the z1 and KLASSE SG is the same as z2. Can someone confirm this for me please. For you experts out there, please feel free to help out.

Pricewise:
(zainobros.com)
z1=9.95
z2=14.95

(autopia-carcare.com)
KLASSE AIO=19.99
KLASSE SG=20.99


If this is the true, can I interact AIO + z2 or z1+ KLASSE SG?
Sorry folks, I don't know how to upload my pics here but if anyone is willing to help--thx!

No, Klasse and Zaino are not the same. It may be conceptually the same thing, but chemically they are not. So don't try to mix and match them.

+1. Zaino is notoriously hard to mix with. You might get away with topping Zaino with another polymer mix (don't know any that do work with Zaino though) or a pure carnuba, but I doubt Klasse (acrylic) would work well for you at all. While I was using Zaino (probably still will in the winter months) I had a little luck topping with carnuba, but it wouldn't stay on it for more than a couple of weeks, and that's stretching a bit.

edit to add: You may have been told that each is used as a similar application, but even that isn't quite true. Z1/Z2 is used as a base coat on prepped paint. AIO preps the paint (and can be used as a base without SG), with SG as a base sealant. End result in either case is sealed paint so maybe that's what you were told? After AIO, or AIO/SG you can top with nearly anything to add depth and shine, after base Z2 layer you generally only top with more Zaino (Z2 or Z5) and Zaino QD's (Z6 and Z8) for depth and shine.

Not the same thing. I switched from the Klasse to Zaino about a year and a half ago. Best decision I've made in terms of exterior care for the car.
