He filled light to moderate (even severe) swirls/scratches with Z5

Is he doing something I can't replicate with Z5?

Fat chance!
Really even ask Sal Zaino!! Z5.. It's only really for very light cobwebs. It's not a glaze like a 3M or VM which has clay to fill the scratches. That's what most glazes do is fill. Some do some don't. Just like Zaino, don't think it's polish because it says so, it's not. Same for Glaze, some are true glaze, some just use the word "Glaze" as in "Polish" you get the idea...
Zaino requires the most absolutely swirl, scratch-free finish for the best effect. Remember, this is "Show Car Polish" Show Cars are mostly pampered and have no swirls as well as being setup under high intensity lighting (indoor events) and this is where Zaino stands out in shows.
It's been said so many times before... develop your finish so that it is defect free, THEN try Zaino.
When you've had enough, there are several good sealants to try that are easy. Wolfgang, Poorboy's EX and EX-P, Klasse etc.
I'm sure, give it time, this thread will also start the Zaino wars once again. I used Zaino, still have it, nothing wrong with it, just there are easier ways of getting there.

I guess everyone's idea of "moderate" is different. I suppose with enough coats it could help...but I have not found Z5 (as good as it is) to be a magic bullet in the swirl war.
No Zaino war here...I'd agree that you could use another product to get your paint "right", then switch to Zaino. I use it on all my vehicles, even those that aren't show cars. I think the words "show car" are more part of the name of the product more than what it should be used on.

I agree with Deanski .. I have black and bought Z5 expecting more .. but once polished out Z5 will take care of / hide the very fine stuff and to do so it must be used in the suggested back and forth application .. not circular. I found this out.
