Can you use a PC to apply Zaino? What Zaino products do I need to use, to get me started? Do I need Z1? I know I need Z2, Z5, Z7, ZFX. Am I missing anything? I`m only worried about paint.

Yes, I think you can use Zaino with a PC, however I personally don`t think there is any benefit from doing so. It was originally developed to be used by hand and I feel this is the easiest and fastest way.
No, don`t buy Z1 if you`re going to buy ZFX. ZFX is a substitute for Z1 so both are not needed. A good starter kit would be ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6, and Z7. Clay is optional but I highly recommend it. I`ve had wonderful results with Z18 clay. Read the directions and tips on the Zaino site several times if necessary. All the info you need to get started is there.

Zaino has no abrasives so there is no need for a PC.
IMO.

Will a PC aid in a higher gloss? What i mean to ask is the speed of a PC is much faster than an arm can produce, so would the maximum shine be increased.

I`ve used the PC to apply Zaino, but it pretty much only for convenience. If I`m only putting on one layer, I`ll usually use a foam app. But if I`m layering with ZFX, I use the PC to save wear and tear on my shoulder, and to speed things up a bit. I only use the lowest speed, and don`t work the product in at all; the PC is strictly used to spread product quickly and thinly.
It`s worked well for me so far; YMMV.

I don`t think the PC is necessary for ZFX. It goes on so easily and so fast by hand with the Viking foam applicator, that I had a coat on in less time than it would have taken me to break out the PC and plug it in! I find that ZFX is easier to remove than plain Z2 or Z5....

I agree 100%.......set the PC to speed 1-1.5 max, it works great.
I use meguiars white foam `finishing pads` to apply..... :up

Your question is timely. 8ball just threw up his technique:
