Zaino ZPC

I used this on my dads 1979 911 SC. This car had not seen a good cleaning in a long time. It does not have a clear coat either so we used z-3 following the Z -PC. Upon looking at the car the day before this attempt I was worried I was gonna let my pops down because the swirls were really something awful. BUT, holy crap you would not believe the depth and clarity of the paint. The color is Beltan yellow, and after staring at the car for hours I believe i could say it is a lovely color. For anyone with excessive swirls on their car this is the stuff for you. My dad might have been skeptical before this weekend. But, I believe I have made a believer out of him. We still have a little alligator action on one fender. I believe I will get him to hit those spots with a couple of layers of Z-5 soon unless someone has a better Idea. Anyways we give this product *****.

I have it, it works well, haven't been super impressed with it on my Jet Black. Did you use an orbital?

Nope I did not use an orbital. But I dont think its necessary on such a new car to use this stuff. That was my understanding, but if I were you I would be covering that car in z-5!

Well, mine sat at the dealer for a couple months and came with some pretty nice swirling, which is easy to obtain on jet black. Using the ZPC by hand did nothing and the same with Z-5. Using it with an orbital worked, but I bought some Merzerna polishes instead to try for next time.
