Default Zaino Z-5 or Z-PC Fusion ?

What is the difference between both of these, it looks like there both the same thing. Just maybe the Z-PC is a more advanced swirl remover, am I correct in saying that. Any of the dealers here, hope you can explain to me what the real difference is, thanks.

Z-5 is a wax that after numerous coats will cover up light swirls. Z-PC Fusion is an abrasive dual action paint cleaner & swirl remover. If you go to Sal Zaino web site www.zainostore.com will explain & inform you about his products.

To expand a bit on what David said, Z-5 has a lot of fillers in it that help mask light swirl marks and scratches. It does nothing to actually remove them. Z-PC is an abrasive polish that can help you remove the scratches.

aaahhhh ok cool. I did the unthinkable a few days ago, actually last week Sunday. I took the SS to the car wash cause I was in a pinch. So anyway, I noticed on Friday some swirls on the trunk, and eh .... so on. So now I am pissed and want to lose them. Never had them until now, or at least I just noticed them. But they aren't bad at all, thankfully.

Thanks for the answers and I will check out Sal's site....

Yeah. I went over my car ONCE with a PC and some Z-PC and the car looked amazing.

Although, for some reason, whenever I apply z-5 or z-2 after...it looks like it leaves little marks all over the car. Or like back and forth swirlies. I think next time I detail my car, It will be a buff session with z-pc, Z-6 then some Pinnicle Wax.

I'm not trying to be an ***, but Zaino is crappy at explaining its products. I love Zaino, but for a company to call their sealant and their filler products "polishes" just confuses everyone.
