I plan on it. Now that the weather is finally getting better around here I need to do an inventory and put together a new Zaino order, CS will be on that order.

My dad-in-law spoke with Mr. Zaino and apparently he's got an auto detailing shop right near where I live. Gonna definetly go there to have the pros detail my car sometime soon.

I'd be wary of z5. It really sucks when it comes to removing swirls. Even when I help Zaino my friends' cars. They use other products to remove swirls (Poorboy's SSR twins or Menzerna twins) before they put on z2pro.

Z5 isn't used to remove swirls, it will fill and hide very very light swirls but don't bother with anything very visible. ZPC is ok with light swirls but I would usually start with a more agressive polish like 1Z PP or SSR2.5 for swirls and then go to ZPC with a white polishing pad, Z2, Z5, and so on.

Why not the 7424?

Excellent job! The first time using Zaino is special, but it doesn't wear off with each session - it only gets more impressive. Zaino ressurected the 14 year old paint on my ES. Now all my cars sit side by side in our garage and reflect one another back and forth. (Plus my garage smells of Zaino, i.e. GREAT!)

I love Zaino so much I even order and wear their t-shirts and sweatshirts. It's truly a quality product.

Grats on the good application!
