Swril Marks

Well doesnt look like Z5 is getting rid of the swril marks... They are so light you can only see them in direct sun at certain angels..

I wish I could see someone else's new TL with Zaino so I can compare... I'm not sure if all cars have these...

you might need to give it a little time to allow the zaino to wear off before you try to remove the swirls. If you have applied zaino sealant over top of the swirls you have temporairly sealed in the swirls. So you are not actually able to remove the swirls because you are a "layer above" the swirls.

I have a couple of customers that will put on a product one day, inspect it for a day or two and then strip it off and reapply different products. The funny thing is, some of the products I have are designed for extream durability, klasse for one example, and they do not come off easily. They end up spending more time removing the products than they do applying them.

I used Z5 last weekend and well and it did not remove all the swirls, but it did reduce them. I found that a Porter Cable and some polishing compound had a much bigger impact on reducing swirls, but there were still some even after that. It all depends on how deep the swirls are and how much effort you're willing to put in to get them out. The car still looks and feels far better than when it started though.
