I had just picked up a 2008 IS350 for my wife several weeks ago and i decided to splurge and finally buy a PC buffer for the hard to remove swirls. Living in WI, the snowy winters are tough on my poor vehicles.

I want to say thanks to Dan(CL member) for offering his suggestions and helping me out on how to utilize the PC and the Zaino products with it. The results were after claying, washing twice, buffing with the PC and a orange pad with zaino ZPC, then applying zaino AIO with a white pad, then 3 coats of Z-5, one coat of Z2, and a coating of clear seal to finish it off......about 7 hours all together plus I did my 2006 4runner in between totalling 14 hours over the entire weekend

As you can see, the finsih is nearly flawless and plenty of protection for the rest of the summer. Since ZPC is a very mild abrasive, i only plan to use the PC once a year in the spring.

On to the goods

Looks very nice. Great job! What pad did you use to apply the Z-5 with?

The only zaino product applied by the pc was their AIO with a white pad. I applied the coats of z5 & z2 by hand.

Thanks for the compliments!
