What can I do to help the swirl marks on my black CLs, I know it's impossible to remove them all on a black car but is there a product that may help. I have applied one coat of regular Zanio (not the swirl kind) and it hasn't helped, maybe a few more coates will help? or should I also get the Zaino swirl remover.
thanks

 

Z5 might help a little. Your best bet is to purchase some 3M Swirl Mark Remover or Meguairs Swirl Mark Remover. They work wonders on swirls.

The best method for removing swirls is to use either an orbital or rotary polisher. Warning: rotaries are very dangerous in the hands of novices. Porter Cable makes the best orbital in my opinion. It's the 7424 or 7336 model.

 

how about if I wax by hand? also, will I have to reapply Zaino after I use swirl remover, or does it also act like a normal wax?? probably wouldn't hurt to Zaino again anyway.

 

Yes you can apply it by hand. It's not as effective, but still very good.

I would:

Wash car
apply SMR
remove residue
Dawn wash to remove fillers left from SMR
Z1/Z5 or ZXF with Z5

Do as many coats of Z5 until you are happy.

 

what's the best applicator to use for buffing out the swirl marks?
