It's not that dude. It's just that I've seen almost the same thing linked or said in 3 or 4 threads in a row. You sound like a salesman.

We pimp Zaino out of our own experiences, we don't push it as a salespitch. There's a difference.

Thread hijack ends here.

I here that is the best way for swirls...

And that you need to use 3M with a buffer... Z5 helped on alot of my swirls...

Found some links:

polishers with short ad write ups

Some insight specifically on Menzerna from another "world":
BMW detailing forum
They seem split.

Hey "Error" you have any links or such on the 3M Micro Machine.

I'm always looking to keep the black 97TA looking like show, even though it's found itself more on the track side. Oh well. Like I said earlier in a long winded post, it is a matter of preference, but insight for a change is always appreciated. I remember doing turtle wax and then spending hours with a toothbrush on an black '80 Grand Prix... That's why I'm a bit partial to Zaino; mainly it's quick, easy to take off and no white wax residue!! But if there is something else out there to give me a shiny edge...
thanks,

I only use zaino on my 02 firehawk. I get a nice mirrored finish that is second to none.

I think it's this:

3M Finesse It II Machine Polish 39003

I'll double check. I gave the bottle back to my dad.

Either way, I ran 2 coats of that onto my truck after a full full prep. It stripped off the 50+ coats of Zaino I had on there, but I put 3 coats of Z5 and 3 coats of Z2 the next day on, and it's 20x smoother and shinier than ever before. I've got a pic of the day after if you want.
