I only have used Zaino on my z.

Today I will be using some Menzerna Final Polish w/ my PC 7424 to get out some fine swirl marks.

After I am done with the FP, what do I do before Zaino ?



Dawn ? Z7 wash ?



Thanks!

I think the FP is more of a paint burnisher as opposed to a fine swirl mark remover. I use it as a last polishing step before applying protectant/finish. You might consider using #82 or #9 to get rid of your swirls, keeping in mind they may contain some fillers that will hide some swirls. Use the FP to get rid of the fillers and burnish the paint to a high shine.
 
You probably do not have to wash after using FP ( no fillers or silicone/oils). Nevertheless, I always wash (Z7, 1Z Perls) after polishing to check for any filler activity even when products deny that their products do this. Also any dust residual will be removed at this time. I recommend a Z7 wash and Z6 wipe down ( inspection step) prior to polish application. Dawn not necessary.

Nice Z!!!!
 
thanks for the reply guys

Might add these are very fine scratch, only able to see in the right light



Another question



I started with a LC White pad this morning and I still had some small scrathes, after a couple times.

So I am now have on a yellow LC pad, and that did the trick, its taking out the scratches

My question is, after the yellow pad, is there any reason to go back over it with the white ?

or go straight to Z7 ?



Thanks!
 
BTW what abrasive did you use with the yellow? Prep is 90% of the finished product, DO the FP with the white pad with your PC set to 6 - might as well get the Z as close to perfection as you can before the Zaino
 
Menzerna FP has extremely extremely low abrasive levels. Like Gonzo said, it is a paint burnisher, not a cleaner in Meguiars terms. Take it like a glaze without fillers. I would say you at least need IP to get out any paint defects.
 
:confused:



I wrote above that the yellow pad w/ Menzerna FP did the trick..



I guess I should of used the term "micro marring" instead of really fine scratches...



I am just following it up now with white pad ...
 
Great looking car. After FP I wipe down with 50/50 isopropyl and distilled water before going to zaino.



Great results with that combo:
