Do you use "dime" size drops like the manufacture suggests? That seems like it would take forever.
On a side note, the NY distributor for Zaino told me yesterday to stay away from micro fiber towels and use only American cotton, preferably Martha Stewart's. The reason being, all shipments of micro fiber towels are not consistent. One out of every ten batches or so will scratch the paint.

yeah i actually use 100%cotton bath towels..they are even softer than my own bath towels but yeah a dime size would be sufficient for like half a hood or so.. it will take forever in the beginning but once you get the motion down it shouldnt take any longer than 10 mins. are you applying it in a linear motion? or are you swirling it when applying zaino??

yeah i am thinking about switching over to menzerna for the swirl removal products. it seems that the sonus is very gentle...i want something a lil more agressive since i am confident with the pc7424...

i spent about 5-6 hours.i first went with menzerna power gloss with a lc yellow pad then to intensive polish w/lc orange pad and finally to fpII with a lc white pad.finally some pinnacle xmt glaze and then poorboys natty,s blue.power gloss is pretty aggresive only use that if you have bad swirls,i would use ip for minor swirls followed by fpII.yes 95% of the swirls and scratches came out and next spring ill do it one more time to get the rest out.but you really have to look hard to see them now.this is a reflection of after being done(all 3 steps with no glaze or wax yet).the whole car looks like this now.

I haven't applied it yet, but the guy showed me the way to apply it. No swirling.
I think it was Sal Zaino's brother.
