If your car is without clearcoat, an old school paintjob, use Z3
if your car has clear coat, use Z2
Use Z5 on a finish with swirls and scratches
AIO is for people who want a one step process
Z6 is the detailer
Z8 is an upscale Z6
Most people use more than one of these products, applying in layers which most people believe makes a subtle, or not so subtle difference, depending on which product is used and in which order .
For example many use both Z2 & Z5, others use just one of those, some will use Z6 between the Z2 & Z5, others not.
Almost everyone will use Z6 as the detailer, some will substitute Z8 or use both. Many will top with CS, others not.
It is not complicated, there is really only one product, Zaino, if you want complicated look at Meguiar’s
It is not expensive since it lasts a long time, for me it costs about 25 bucks a year
Ask, and you will get a number of differing opinions, but most will use some variation of Z2 and/or Z5 on a Vette. The other possibility is using AIO. Most will use some variation of Z6/Z8/CS regardless if they use Z2, Z3, or AIO.
You are best off starting a new thread with details of your car, and situation. Or do a search, there has to be a hundred threads asking this every year.

People just say Zaino because everyone uses it differently, in layers, there is an infinite number of possibilities , here are the Cliffs:
If your car is without clearcoat, an old school paintjob, use Z3
if your car has clear coat, use Z2
Use Z5 on a finish with swirls and scratches
AIO is for people who want a one step process
Z6 is the detailer
