Started the Zaino Z-PC with the Random Orbital, a few ??'s
Just a few questions for your orbital pro's out there.
Man, this stuff is truly amazing, it only took 1 coat, some areas two coats to get the swirls and scratches out, the paint even looks cleaner, and I have not even polished it yet. I am so excited about how well its turning out. Now on to the questions.
1. When you put the Z-PC on and buff it in for a few minutes, when do you know to stop? It seems like I put too much because when I am done buffing after a few minutes, I have to really mist with Z-6 and a DF Towel to get the Z-PC off, its hazy and I need to really buff by hand, Am I doing this right?
If you look at the 3rd pic, it shows where I did the hood on the drivers side.
2. What speed should I start out with? 2, then work my way up to 4-5?
3. After I am done using the Z-PC on the car, do I wash and dry, Z-6, then apply Z-2?
Thanks for any advice and the pics I took were at 830 p.m., pics do not do it justice. I am working on the car all night and will leave the Z-2 sit overnight and polish tomorrow and post pics. I can't wait to use the Z-8 as well. I am assuming I put that one after the Z-2?

You should post these questions over at autopia.org. I ordered the new zaino, but haven't received it yet. My guess on speed is around 4 will work best. I would go straight from the Z-PC to the Z-2. Are you experience any dusting with the product?

Well finished up the Z-PC this afternoon, this stuff is amazing, now onto the Z-2, then I will see what all the hype with the Z-8 is about.
I'll post pics when I can, however raining out.

Don't confuse "a coat of polish" with polishing....as with Z-PC you aren't coating anything but rather using abrasive particles to remove scratches.
If you are looking to get all of the swirls out it sounds like you need something a little bit more aggressive than the Z-PC. If you want to go that far (which you might not with 4 coats of Z2 on) I'd recommend the Menzerna Intensive Polish...and then go back over it with the Z-PC.
Car is looking good....have to love that red
