Welcome to the club!

Sweet Car!

How bad are the swirls? Can you see them as clear as day or do you have to bend yourself at wierd angles in certain light to see them?

If the swirls are moderate (like the ones on my BMW that my dealer made!), I would remove them first before starting the zaino process. Once you start zainoing, you never need to strip and start over, so if you don't address them not they will come back to haunt you later on. I suggest using something mild first by hand like 3M SMR (#39009) for dark colored cars. You can finish up any hazing it leaves with something VERY mild like PPCL or go right to Z5.

If the swirls are minor, mulitple coats of Z5 should do the trick. I would dawn wash, clay, and then ZFX with Z5.

Either way your new black volvo will look awesome! Post pics!
