Got you covered on the other thread also " Z2 or Z5"

Can this be applied by hand, or does it require a PC?

Either one.I imagine you'll receive better results with the PC.

Thanks for all the great input. BTW did you ever get your PC, and if so how do you like it? I don't have one yet. I'm still a little nervous I'll screw up the paint,

Pretty much impossible to damage paint unless you stand on it !

Just ordered my PC 7424 from coastal tools. They had a good price...about $120 including the velcro backing plate and the 6" counterweight. I'll probably try the Zaino products to help remove any scratches and protect the paint. I was looking at the Sonus products as well, especially the mf towels and polishing pads. Any input about the Sonus line of products??

I'm also going to tackle the swirls in my black bimmer. My C43 is silver, do I need different products/pads for the two colors?

Once again, thanks for all the great ideas and input.

Just ordered my Zaino along with the Z-PC for the scratches. Any input as to what pads I should buy for use with the Z-PC and a PC 7424? As well as to remove swirls on black paint??? See above post regarding scratches, etc...
