What the next best thing to get swirl marks out ? ZAINO isn't getting the job done . Thankx

 

Zaino really only deals with very fine swirls like the kind you might get from washing or using the wrong towels, etc.... Anything heavier needs some prep work IMO. Pick up a bottle of either 3M Swirl Mark Remover #39009 or Meguiar's #9 SMR 2.0. I just used the Meguiar's #9 2.0 today on a relatives car after using 3M Fine Cut Cleaner and it worked great. The 3M SMR will work great too when used properly. But remember, using abrasives requires good, proper technique or you'll end up with as many swirls or hazing as when you started. Work the products using moderate pressure at first to break the abrasives down, then lighter pressure (kinda like waxing the paint type of pressure) to finish up. A foam pad will make the abrasives "cut" a little more, and quicker whereas using cotton will kinda buffer the abrasive action and might require more actual buffing. Of course, when in doubt, follow the directions on the bottle.

 

The main thing is to make sure you aren't constantly putting in new swirl mars. Check what supplies you are using, how you wash them and care for them and your technique. Only a light touch is needed. I've seen the Zaino Z-5 work wonders on swirl marks on people's cars. How many coats of the Z-5 have you applied to try and fill in the swirls??? Are you using ZFX additive???

 

5 coats of Z5 and 7 coats of Z2 . I don't use ZFX . I used Z1 twice . I do use 100% cotton towels too . Maybe I need more Z5 . I'll see when I put more on car starting next week .
