Default question about zaino

hey guys im lookin to shine up the camaro after she hibernated in the garage fer the past 10 months. Im looking for some Zaino pruducts. Unfortuantely there are some major swirlmarks here and there. Im not looking to buy the entire kit. definitely the clay bar and some other products. Anyone have advice?

Z-8 is meant to be more of a finishing sealer. I would clay the car, put on a coat of Z-AIO, followed by some Z-2 if you want, and then Z-8. Z-AIO alone is pretty awesome stuff though. Just be sure to clay the car first so you don't seal in contaminants.

i have 45 coars of z2 on my car
i even had compliments from Sal Zaino himself on the shine of the car

and i dont joke when i say i drove the car trough rain for 2 days, and it still looks as shiny as it did before the rain hahah, and i put wheelwax on it, you an get that stuff at ur local lexus dealership, so the chrome lip on the wheels is still spotless.

ZPC is a good light duty swirl remover. If you need soemthing more agressive get some Menzerna internal polish. Use an orange pad with a PC and finish with ZPC on a white pad.
