What do you guys think of the Ziano Stuff?
I have a 89 speedster in black and have many swirl marks on it. Would the below steps take care of the swirl mark and give me a wet shine?
1. wash with dawn
2. Clay with Zaino Z18 claybar
3. wash again with Zaino car wash
4. Use a DA polisher and apply polish (Which polish do you guys recommand to remove swirl marks?) with meguiar 8006 pad.
5. Apply polish agian by hand (is it needed for such a old car?)
6. Then wax.. (wax recommandation?)

Thanks guys.

 

zpc is very mild especially with a pc.

 

What would you suggest?

 

the most user friendly polish is made by Optimum. Their new Optimum Hyper compound finishes off fantastic, yet cuts 100x better then zpc.

After getting the finish flawless you can use ZPC before applying your protection.

 

you can also check out autogeek.net and autogeekonline.net, and find out everything you wanna know about detailing

 

thanks for the info. I will give that a try next week and let you guys know how it came out.

 

you'll need a yellow cutting pad first or Meg's burgundy pad. A polishing pad will not cut it.

 

to properly remove swirl marks takes both skill and patience, first you have to identify how deep the swirls are. If the swirls are to deep you will need to use a high speed polisher to properly remove them. I would start with the DA and test a small area and use a halogen light or flashlight to check if the swirls were completely removed (remember always start with a less aggressive pad and polish you could always go more aggressive). The most important thing to do is take your time in the polishing stage only then will get the best optical appearence out of your paint As far as a compound goes I would try the Menzerna line, start with there intensive polish and work your way done to te Final polish II as far as pads go you could use a orange pad from Lake county with the IP and a white pad from LC with the FPII I have been Detailing high end cars for 10 years and have found great results with them. I hope this helps,as far as wax goes get some zymol and call it a day

 

You gotta get with the times and use Lake Country pads ....the best I've used and I used the SoftBuff pads for almost 5 years. I find the LC pads work the polish better and are more consistant. They also last about 4-5 polishes for me; I use to use a pad every time I used the Meg SB pads.

 

GREAT ADVICE!!!!!

 

Not sure if you mean me, but if yes, I only use LC pads.

 

On your previous post you recommended Meguiar's yellow and burgundy pads. I didn't know if you use them or recommend them. Either way, I think LC pads are the best out there that I know of. How do you ike this forum td? It's a bit different than rennlist. I also like Anthony's new forum...it'll be a lot of fun to talk shop.

 

I said: *you'll need a yellow cutting pad first or Meg's burgundy pad.*

I didn't know that Meg's made a yellow cutting pad as well.

Well I am new to both forums, but unfortunately neither is like autopia

Hopefully Anthony's forum will succeed.

 

this is the magic combo for your car:

Wash with blue Dawn detergent
clay
wash with z- 7
machine (orbital) with Menzerna IP
machine with z-pc
seal with z-5 pro
Finish with Natty's Blue for dark cars

Plan on all day to do this properly

Ditto on the menzerna polishing products. great stuff. it's a very mild polish so you may need a slightly more aggressive pad as the others suggested.

I prefer to use rejex for my final coat. May not be the deepest shine out there, but it lasts forever and the dirt washes off so easily....
