Layer the Z2 Pro and finish with the Clear Sealant and then Z8 Grand Finale. It will look wet 
Maintain with the Z6 spray detailer. It is durable and easy to use. Check out some of my garage pics.

Depends on what we're actually talking about.
The color of the car is very dependant on this as well.
My car is black. for POLISH i usually finish the car with either Megs 205 or Menzerna 106. The shine from both of them is really unbeatable. To top it off for the best shine regarding an LSP i use pinnacle sovereign. There is nothing that compares to a black car finished with 205 or menz 106 topped with sovereign.

And you're using an orbital buffer correct? I'm on the fence between buying a buffer and learning to do it myself and paying for professional detail. If you're using a buffer, what model and is it really rocket science to learn to do it correctly or is it pretty easily picked up?

You will get as many opinions as you will get as products. However, as for me, I have used Zanio's for years and never has any problems with the end results, awesome slick shine with a deep rich finish to my paint.

You will not simply get the wettest look or deepest look in any one product, there is no miracles. First you need to wash and cleanse or polish paint. I would also suggest claying as part of cleaning and then using a good quality wax or sealant last to protect and add that little extra oomph ... wash, clay, polish, protect
In general you are going to want to stick to some great polishes on the Vettes harder coating, like Menzerna SIP and 085rd, Megs 105 and 205, or Wolfgang TSR and FG. For the wettest and deepest look often a carnauba wax is the best choice but will need to be reapplied more often. Pinnacle Souveran Paste and Wolfgang Fuzion Paste are the two for which you will see all others judge or test themselves. Its for a reason, they are simple to apply and remove and often rewards even more expensive waxes costing thousands cannot touch.
If we can help more, just PM me or call us. Luckily we carry all the products listed and many more as well as the machines and tools needed. As a Vette owner myself, I only offer what I have tested and found the best.

So you're car looks great and i have 2 black cars myself. So i'm trying to find the best combo. Do you mind sharing your full regimen for detailing. do you normally start with megiars 105 then 205? i have some slight swirls but very faint and only some spots. trying to get a good base and decide whether to embark on detailing my own cars.
I will wash and strip the wax, clay, do an ipa wipedown and polish from there.
After polish the LSP is up to you depending on the protection you desire and the type and level of gloss you want....all of which is also dependent on the color car you're working on.
Any specific questions feel free to ask.
