Default Z3 Question

I sent my brother some Zaino for Xmas and included some Z3 for his '69 Vette think it was not clear coated? Now we are not sure and were wondering:
How can you tell clear coated paint from non clear coated paint?
What is the downside to using Z3 on clear coated paint vice Z2?

I have sent these questions to Sal but just wanted to see what you fellow Zaino user thought too. Thanks

Paint transfer is a pretty good sign of a single stage paint on an older vehicle.

Z3 isn't quite as advanced as Z5/2 Pro, but it won't cause any damage.

Actually Z3 has a few extra ingredients that protect thew paint from oxidizing that Z2p and Z5 do not need. It is perfectly safe for either.

Thanks. I'll tell him to just go ahead and use the Z3 instead of ordering a bottle of Z2.
