M-IP then PO85RD and Z-AIO or just ZAIO?

I have a Cosmo Black 2000 BMW 540 with moderate swirl marks. I applied Men-IP with an orange pad on a PC ROB, which removed most of the swirl marks. I then followed up with Men PO85RD and a white pad, and although it looks great normally, if it is in the direct sun it has tons of holograms. I guess I need something with filling ability since I can't seem to polish them away, so I was thing of using Z-AIO followed by Z-5. I have a few questions:

1. Is Z-AIO a better finishing polish than PO85RD?

2. Does Z-AIO have any fillers and is it less likely to leave holograms?

3. If Z-AIO followed by Z-5 works, in the future can I go right from M-IP to

Z-AIO or do I still need to use PO85RD?

4. Any other suggestions for removing holograms with a PC ROB? I am very discouraged because I thought that M-IP was the most abrasive polish I could use with a ROB but the holograms are very pronounced. HELP!



Thanks for any help.
 
Sure you'll get a response from someone more experienced than me, but when I used M-IP I followed with Zaino's ZPC w/a white pad to remove what was left and it turned out well. Followed w/AIO, then Z5Pro. I have a black Z which I had professionally detailed in the Spring to remove swirls/scratches, since then normal routine is just Z5Pro topped w/Z8 and it looks pretty good. Here's a few pics from the Spring detail and then 9 months later.

Your Vette looks teriffic! Did the Z-5 fill any swirls at all or did you not have any? Is Z-8 worth getting? There are so many ZAINO preoducts I was going to skip that one. Thanks for the response.
 
I use the Z5Pro instead of Z2Pro because it seems to work better on dark colors, like black obviously. It really doesn't have any swirl removing properties, it may hide some minor imperfections, but the Bryan the pro-detailer used M-IP and I believe M105 to remove the swirls.

I would highly recommend the Z8 grand finale spray, great topper that you can use over any sealant or even carnuba, terrific gloss and slick.
