Removing Zaino question I have about 15 layers of Zaino on my car and in the process of switching to using Sonus products. Is Sonus Restore SFX 1 and a Porter Cable polisher going to be aggressive enough to remove the layers of Zaino or do I need to use rubbing alcohol?

I have used zaino in the past. It is quite easy to get off, just wash it twice with dawn, it will remove just about all of it. But make sure to get another coat of wax on there before driving it again. Hope this helps.

any cleaner polish will remove zaino, also anything aggressive compound or polish will remove zaino as well. So those sonus products if they have a cleaner or any kind of aggressive or even mild aggressive polish should remove it.

As 6']['9 said, a polish and pad combo with some cut will get through it. Also, a 50/50 water and alcohol mix sprayed on and wiped off does a good job. A session with a claybar works too.

No problem I put ... I'd say a good six coats on if not more. Just went through a Chicago winter, with a few brushless car wash's.
First time I hand washed and dryed, after winter I have no Zaino on car, nothing. Water just sheets off.
My point being, I don't think it's that good. Or hard to remove.

Just to let you know, you don't have 15 coats of anything on your car. 
Abrasive polishes will remove whatever is beneath them, so the Zaino that is there will be removed without any problems.
Brushless car washes and the like use pretty strong chemicals in order to clean whatever comes through and they are very hard on any wax/sealant. Road salt and inclement weather don't help either.
