Zaino newb asking for help!

[smitzzz24]

So, I think I'm gonna take the plunge and try Zaino products. The question now is what all do I need to get? I have an 09 camry and and 02 tribute- both solid black. Both cars have swirlmarks that are noticeable. I currently use meguiars nxt 2.0 and the results have been ok. I have never clay bar'd a car but am willing to try it.

Big question is, what Zaino products will give me the best results with the least amount of
time and money spent? I'm currently looking at getting the Z AIO and possibly the Z5 pro. Since I'll be using the AIO, do I need to get the zfx as well? I'm looking to get a deep shine and remove swirls. Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Zaino will magnify any imperfections on your paint. I'd recommend doing a polish with something other than Zaino's polish since its more like a filler/super light polish so I doubt it'll do much on your car. Do the prep first then protect it

i use zaino and its a great product but they only have one solution minus Z-aio which i dont count beacuse its super fine polish which cant get swirls more like only removes surface contaminants. Zaino has ZPC and its a very mild polish. If I were you I would actually start by claying the car using zaino's claybar z-18, then use Meguires 205 ultra polish and if that doesnt work to remove the swirls then go to meguires 105 ultra cut compound. Then go back over with Meguires 205 and then finally a carnauba wax. IMHO carnauba gives cars a deeper look while sealants such as Zaino Z2 are much more glossy with a wet look but the sealants do last longer. Polishing without at least a random orbital polsiher like the PC 7424 will take a long time, FYI. For more information check out autopia.org
