So i was looking through zaino's website, and i came across this. Does anyone know anything about this or have any experience with it? Seems like this is an actual polish unlike their other products, and i do love removing swirls . So some feedback would be appreciated

Zaino Z-PC is relatively new so my experience with it is not extensive; it does however appear to fall between 3M SMR and Iz Paint Polish (4/10) as far as an abrasive level. This is also the first Zaino product besides their clay that contains an abrasive to remove swirl marks / surface marring. I've been adjusting its abrasive abilities slightly as in 1. below

Choose the least abrasive product it is preferable to polish 2-3 times to restore the paint film surface than to use an unnecessarily abrasive machine polish / foam pad combination.

1. The abrading ability of any polish can be changed by a) Application method (i.e. machine or hand application b) Speed and / or pressure used c) using it wet or dry as water interferes with the buffers that encapsulate the abrasives producing a slightly more aggressive abrasion ability. Water will also minimize dusting when using a machine buffer (random orbital or rotary) d) Type of foam composition (different foam compositions and / or densities have a differing abrading ability)

Yes, I have tried it and LOVE it, see my detailed evaluation below...

By Hand
I have used it by hand using a slightly dampened 100% cotton wash
cloth and with Viper Micro Fiber rag. It will leave the surface
(black paint) with a very very very slight haze that is only visible
under bright flourescents and/or halogen lighting and can be removed
by applying 1 coat of zaino (or probably any LSP/sealant) leaving the
surface crystal clear and swirl free.

By Porter Cable ROB
I have used it with both Meguiars yellow and white and yellow
(polishing and finishing) and Lake Country white and grey (polishing
and finishing) pads with a speed of anywhere between 3.5 and 5.5 with
excellent results and no visible signs of hazing or marring. Product
is ready to be wiped off (work completed) in a moderate amount of time
with very little dusting leaving the surface shinier than products
such as Poorboys 1 and Menzerna FPII or P085rd.

By Rotary
I have used it with both Meguiars white finishing pad and a 3m waffle
polishing pad at a speed of 2.5 Approx 1400 rpm's. It leave the
surface with a crystal clear shine and can be worked in a moderate to
little amount of time with residue easily being wiped off leaving the
surface ready to be zaino'd without any additional prep work. It even
seems to sling a little less than most products when used with rotary.
Will remove mild to moderate swirls and scratches.

I think this product is another winner product and am glad to
see it released. It definetly fills a void in the Zaino lineup and
eliminates the need for a dawn wash and ensures that the surface is
prepped properly before applying Zaino. I think this will result in
less customer issues and overall better customer satisfaction.
