Is Zaino Z-PC the best polish for Zaino users?
After hearing all you guys talk about how great Zaino is I finally tried it today. After two coats of Z-5 and one of Z-2 the shine looks great but still not happy with the micro scratches (Black). Has anyone tried Z-PC with an PC and is this the next step for me or should I try something else?

I have a couple of scratches and scuffs on the truck lid after the winter that I have not yet had a chance to buff out. I'll try the Z-PC, but from what I've heard elsewhere, I'll have to move up to some SSR 2.5 to actually get rid of them.

I am torn between getting the Z-PC or Menzerna IP and FP. Anybody that has used Z-PC please post your review of the product.
Thanks in Advance

Zaino
Does this thing really work that great? and if so what combos do you get there a bunch of stuff on their website I just purchased the Z-2 and ZFX additive. Do you even need the additive?

For those without a PC, you may want to give ScratchX a try. You can buy it locally and I've had good results on it by hand. I also have a PC but have not tried the Zaino product. My understanding is that it is for light to moderate scratches. For any significant scratches you may need to step up to SSR2.5 or Meguiars #83.

I just read the autopia reviews. Note that the first review calls it a good CLEANER so as far as polishing it will be mild. The DACP they talk about on the 2nd post is Meguiars #83 (Dual Action Cleaner/Polish) which will be more aggressive.

If you want you could also buy the car wash (z7), QD spray (z6), spray sealant (z8), etc. But like I said above, you have the essentials. |

To get the swirls out you need to do at least 3 coats or more of Z-5 and then Z-2. I did mine last weekend with Z-5 were I had some scratches and then Z-2 over everything. Only one coat of each. I finished off with Z-6 and Z-8. When I was finished after 4 hours, it looked so awesome! It's been raining buckets out here this week, and my car still looks shiny and clean. It beads and looks way better than when I used the Carnauba wax alone. The car is filthy and I still get compliments. I’m going to try and do 2 more coats this weekend to deepen the wet look and shine. I spent lots of $$$$ on other cleaners and wax, but after seeing the results on my car, I've come to the conclusion that I really like this Zaino stuff a whole lot better. I can ship my old stuff to you if you like, I won’t be needing it. LOL Good luck.
