, tkajeff. Hope you'll find lots of good info here.

Let me toss in just a couple of bits of info.

The Porter-Cable buffer is a great favorite here. 4DSC wrote The Definitive Porter Cable Accessorizing Thread which is located right here in our Hall of Fame forum. It'll give you lots of basic info on selecting a buffer and accessories. Then you might want to check out Geekysteve's Porter-Cable for Beginners article; it will give you lots of tips on pads and basic application/operation.

About Z5: Lately some folks seem to be reporting that the new formulation of Z5 has better swirl-hiding properties. But most of us (and I'm a dedicated Zaino user) find that the secret to successful Zaino use in in thorough preparation. You probably shouldn't expect Z5 to do the job that a true "polish" can do for you.

Happy reading.
