nope no maxima. actually the mdx is the wife's...2007.

anyhow, swirls must be buffed out with something with a little abrasive in it. i'm not sure if hemant does this. he usually washes the car, then claybars it, then re-washes the car again...and finally puts on several coats of zaino.

I see. So after few washes later swirls will show up again then? Anyone knows who can do polish using PC to remove swirls completely?

I use Optimum products which ARE abrasives. It will remove the scratch/swirls rather than hide it like the zaino products. Also finger foam pads to get under the door handles for those nail scratchs.
I also mix my water solution with NRS so you won't have any water spots

I'm here off dixon landing in fremont/milpitas border

He has used buffer to try to take out stuff on my car. Not sure if this is something he would be willing to do but it does not hurt to ask. He knows what he is doing and does it very well.

the purpose of zaino is not to hide swirl marks but to protect your paint. if you have swirl marks, you must buff it out before you can apply zaino or any wax for that matter. zaino is an excellent product and lasts quite a long time. my coupe is garaged kept but is out in the sun at least 4 days a week. two coats of zaino will last me almost a year as i'm still getting pretty good water beading. also, zaino has unmatched optical clarity, which means your car's color will be pretty true even after several coats.
