I need your advice. I am currently using Zaino and it looks great. However I want to address some swirl marks and super-fine scratches in the finish. Tell me what you think of this, all done by hand-

Dawn Wash

Clay bar it

Z7 wash

3M SMR for dark cars (mine is black)

Z7 wash it

Z5 w/zfx accelerator, 3 times, and Z6 in between each

Then the next day

put 2 coats of Z2



Is this a complete lineup or would you add or change something? Could I use a cheap Walmart Orbital Buffer to speed things up without losing quality?

thanks for your advice.



I want my car to be a mirror on wheels!!!
 
I'd make the 3rd wash a Dawn wash. The 1st two can be any inexpensive car wash liquid. I'd save the Z7 for after the Zaino. The cheap orbital is just that. It may not have the power to do the job. Then again, never my your arms. I've heard it takes a lot of hand rubbing to get SMR to fully break down. Scottwax, can you comment?
