Hi everyone, i'm new here and have some questions for you all. what is the difference between a polish and a glaze and when would you use one and not the other? for example, i use zaino z-pc as my polish then i use two coats of z5 and two coats of z2. However my paint is crazy shiney and the protection lasts for what seems like forever, i still see some scratches and spider webs. Should i be using a glaze before or after my z-pc? is there something else i should be using before, after, or instead of z-pc? i just don't know?! i see alot of people like the poor boys products. i've never used them but thought about trying there polishes then using zaino as my LSD. what do you think?

Welcome to DC.
Unfortunately, I think the problem is the hand application. Removing scratches and swirls by hand is a lot of work and very time consuming.
With Zaino, I think using a glaze in the mix would be a mistake. It would probably really compromise the durability since the Zaino can't bond to the paint properly.
I haven't used the Z-PC so I can't say just what it can do, but if it was used with a PC, chances are it would remove a lot of the flaws you are seeing.
Whatever product line you end up using, you will have much better results with a decent machine polisher.
Don't waste your money on one of the $29.95 specials at Wal*Mart or the auto supply store.
