Well, I finally did it, I followed the experts advice here at the forum and took steps to bringing my cars paint back to life. With a little luck, experimenting, and lots of friendly advice I finally got rid of most of the scratches, and all the swirls. I finished the proccess with 3M smr, and I now want protect my bright new finish with zaino, but I'm wondering if I should wash the car again before applying the zaino?
