Subject: Hey there. I JUST walked in from a 4 hour Zaino fest on my car, so I should be

able to shed some light on their products. First of all, you mention that you have swirls and scratches. For that issue, Zaino is not the product you need, what you need is a "Swirl and Scratch" remover, Meguiars, Mothers, etc. I used it today for the first time in a couple months and forgot how GREAT it can make the car look. I use it with an orbital polisher (Porter Cable) and it makes the job go a lot quicker than by hand. THEN after you get the paint as swirl and scratch free as you can/want, that's when Zaino comes into play. I just ordered the package that basically gives you everything-Z2, Z5, Z8, wash solution, clay, leather cleaner/conditioner, instant detailer (Z1 I believe), tire conditioner, etc. It gave my everything I needed, and that's the package I personally would recommend.

Zaino provides instructions, but basically here is how a GREAT wash sequence goes for me...

Wash with Zaino solution
Clay bar, then wash again
Dry with microfiber towell
Meguiar's Swirl Removal
Zaino Z2 polish
Zaino Z8 spray
Zaino Z5 polish
Zaino Z8 spray
Zaino Z2 polish
Meguiar's Showtime wax.
BEAUTIFUL SHINE!!

Hopefully this has helped a bit! Normally I don't take four hours to wash my car, but I'm going on a roadtrip tomorrow and wanted the car to look flawless (which it does now!!) Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can!

Here's some old pictures of my car, but it shines like new with Zaino!
