Default Too zaino or not to zaino???

Have any of you guys used zaino swirl mark and light scratch polish. I have a superblack enthusiast and I have very minor swirl marks here and there. I here great things about all of zaino's products.

Any suggestions on this product from actual user experience???
Thanks guys.

thats the z5...for major swirl marks ppl that even use zaino recommend 3m swirl filler(not sure of teh exact name)

for minor swirls 4 coats of z5 and you should see a major diff

There are more effective and easier to use products out there for swirls. 3M, Megs, Poorboys SSR1, & 4 Star products, just to name a few. Check out Premiumautocare.com for more info on these products. Good luck. Later.

Z-5 is a final finish protective synthetic polish that happens to contain filler agents that fill in imperfections in the paint, it does NOT remove imperfections or paint. It is a great product combined with Z-6 to fill minor imperfections that always pop up on dark colors.

If your surface is bad enough you might want to use a mild abrasive to level down the imperfections a bit before using the Z-5, this is a very hot ticket to a perfect the paint, the product to use is 3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009...

kevin, would you recommend the 3M even if I'm doing it by hand? also will it help cover up some light scratches made by kids?

Kevin:

Doesn't the 3M SMR have fillers? Those would have to be washed away with isopropyl alcohol or a dawn wash before reappying Zaino, right?

Meguires #9 works wonders for light swirl marks. Just take your time apply it a few times.

Yes, you can use the 3M for spot problem solving by hand.......
3M Swirl Mark Remover is not really a cover up product, it is a remover product, a cover up product would be a glaze like 3M Imperial Hand Glaze........................

Correct, the 3M contains white mineral oil that I always remove with denatured alcohol or a dawn wash before we start the Zaino process................ All compounds and polishes contain oils that hold the abrasives in suspension, if they did not you would be rubbing sand on your paint................
