All I can say is wow, this stuff works great. Used 1 coat of the swirl reducer, then 1 coat of Z2, followed by the Z6 spray to finish it off.

very nice!!!
i am a fan of zainoed black cars, for somewhat obvious reasons..

looks like a new car- swirls already?
let us know when they get bad enough that you cant cover them anymore and we can help you remove them.

you might also try topping with p21s when you are ready for a "next step" depth

I didn't really have swirls. I always wash in straight motions, never anything circular on the car. However, it had some sort of swirl like marks in the paint. I guess its because this is only the 2nd waxin in 10 months. But so far so good, now that it is back to being clean and waxed up.

I'll look into p21. I definately want more depth.
Probably will have to clay bar the rear bumper though, its pretty rough still. Is it ok on black paint?

yup, its fine to clay black or any color!
and clay is the solution for rough areas...

just be sure to follow some basic rules, such as if you drop the clay on the ground, trash it; use a good lubricant when claying; clay only clean surfaces, etc.

if you need some more detailed clay instructions let us know-

looks familiar? ... and excellent!

I really like using the p21s to keep it looking like a mirror!

Looking very nice - I am so jealous of you guys who don't have to have a front number plate, the clean lines at the front looks awesome

No, by california law, I should have one! I already got ticketed (fined $25) once. Now if I got 4 of those in less than a year, i'd probably put it back on.
