The only Zaino swirl removers I know of are ZPC and ZAIO.

Thanks for all the great compliments guys, it's awesome to get positive feedback on the truck.

I used Z-5 for the swirls and scratches, I think it's best when you combine it with Z-2. I'll explain the process I used in just a second.

That looks great! I knew the Zaino was working when my truck started to reflect everything in the garage. I don't have a 350 to reflect against though.

22" wheels with 305/40 tires on a 2/4 drop.

I got all my info from the Zaino website, there's some great tips on there.

I washed my truck twice with liquid dawn to get rid of any old polish and what not then washed it with the Z-7 car wash. Clay barred the whole truck and then washed it one more time with Z-7. Pulled it in the garage and started applying Z-5. I did about 4 coats of that and wasn't too pleased because I wasn't seeing much results. I then did a layer of Z-2(the actual polish) and the paint really started to shine. I then switched back to Z-5, did 4 or 5 coats and then did 2 coats of Z-2. Switched back to Z-5 one more time, did a few coats and then finished with 3 coats of Z-2. Also sprayed the truck down with Z-6 gloss enhancer between the last coats of Z-2.

I used the Zaino ZFX system with all of this. I didn't get rid of all the swirls and scratches but it really looks a ton better than what it did before. I'm now a Zaino customer for life. I think I'm going to go with what KB said and look into getting an orbital buffer and I'll hit the truck again in a few months and get rid of all the swirls.

Thanks again for all the props guys.

Looks great, but i'm partial to the color. I used it on mine and had great results too. I'll probably do it again sometime with a few more coats to get it even better.
