What color is your car? It typically takes about 4-5 coats of any combination of Z2 and Z5 to get teh dramatic results that make people go  when they feel the paint. During warmer weather I typically wash and Z2 every other week since it's so easy to use. After 5-6 coats, I would recommend the average user probably only needs a coat every 3-4 months to maintain a nice shine. Just be sure to use the spray after each wash and the surface will still look and feel amazing even if you don't apply any Zaino for an extended period of time. HTH

another question,
i know that black cars are WAY more reflective than mine (silver), what would it take to get mine anywhere near that level?

If you have not already, I would strongly suggest using a clay bar, as the results will be drmatically different. Once you reach the level a certain level of smoothness, it wont get any smoother - from that point on, it's just a matter of maintaining that level (like I do with applying Z2 or Z5 every 2 weeks). As far as the depth of shine, there is nothing you can do with silver.

ZAINO!?!?!?! WHERE.... WHERE.... 
For me it's on t-red and there's prolly about 6-7 coats put on for that 'ing shine to work up to winter protection. Then every spring it gets stripped and repeated all over again.
