Ack, I just washed my car and put some of the new Z5 on it and the car looks god aweful. I had a feeling it would, since it's swirled up pretty bad. The yahoos who re-painted my car buffed it but didn't bother to polish it.

In addition, after 3 months, I see my paint has suffered alot. It's already has tons of rock chips, in places where it shouldn't, and scratches under the door handles when it never had that before. And now I'm seeing other blemishes as well. It seems like this paint is really really crap and isn't holding up well at all.

Anyrate, instead of buying some 3m products and working out the swirls myself, I would much rather just fill them in.

Obviously, Z5 is not the way to go, and the paint is so full of glitter instead of "pearl" (good god), that it looks cloudy in full sunlight.

So...I plan to put a couple more coats of Z just for the protection, and then keep topping it with a good Carnauba wax to make it look more liquidie and fill the swirls.

How does several coats of Zaino, topped with P21S sound?

Also, I heard that you can layer P21S, would that make it last longer and look better?

And finally, should I not even bother with the Zaino and just buy the P21S Paintwork clenser or multi-surface finish restorer and then do the P21S?:confused:
 
Instead of either going with Zaino topped with P21S, should I try Zaino toped with NSX? Would that cover up the swirls? I used to use Zymol cleaner wax back in the day, and it covered up 99.9% of my swirls.

Please, lets not get into a "it's better to fix it then cover it up" thread. I know that's true most of the time, but in my case I do not wish to remove them but rather just fill them.
 
If the paint is as bad as you say, you aren't going to be happy just attempting to fill in the swirls. You are going to have to remove them to get what you want.
 
I don't trust my abitlities to remove them, and the good lord knows I don't trust any "detailers" in my area to touch my paint. So I figure I'll just fill them for now until this car becomes my official beater car when I graduate college in a year.
