| Let's start at the end: "I still see some swirls." If you had swirls to start with, and you have a PC, I would use Zaino PC Fusion or some other very mild polish to deal with the swirl marks. Z5 does not remove swirls at all, and only hides them a little bit. Frankly, I can't tell the difference between 5 and 2.
My second and third comment, based on my use of Zaino over the years, is that you are wasting time and product using a PC to apply Z5 or Z2 to the car. I think the consensus is that it's faster and easier to apply it with a good sponge or MF applicator, and you use less of the Zaino.
As far as removing it, I have always used a dry MF or cotton towel; I don't know why you would wet it with Z6 for this purpose. Instead, the recommendation (strong recommendation) of Zaino is to apply a coat of Z6 between any two coats of Z2 or Z5. I think you are just making extra work in wetting the towel you use to remove the dried Z5.
Next time, since you already have a PC, use it first to remove the swirl marks (and it will take off the Zaino also, of course), then apply 2 coats of Z5 and then 2 coats of Z2 (or more, if you want). I did that last spring on my black Lexus SC and the six year old car looks new. Even better than new. |
