What is your take on using the porter cable random orbital to put zaino on and take it off. Do you think that it would waste too much or if it would't reduce the work enough to warrant the cost?

I have a black Z and Zaino just blasts the finish. I have had numerous people ask me about how I get it to shine like it does.

I highly recommend it. Buy the little complete kit.

Hey zzz350. What exactly was your zaino process. The reason I ask is I too have a superblack z and I tried zaino a few months back using their method. (Washin with dawn then applying the z-5) I only had the stomach to do it once because I didn't see much improvement.

Let me know I will do anything to get these horrible swirl marks the hell of my car!!!

Thanks for your help man!!!

Just to clarify, are you getting streaks as in oily residue or swirl marks, as in visible but shallow scratches?

The Zaino method is the way to prevent swirl marks from happening, it can't hide existing swirl marks.

For that you might try something like TurtleWax Color Cure...its designed to fill in swirl marks although I've never tried it myself.

why don't car companies just offer "mirror" as a color choice???

then it'd always be reflective
