Message: <blockquote data-quote="maxxsp" data-source="post: 310025" data-attributes="member: 4808">I have to disagree with some of the comments you have made. Some of which are technically wrong.Firstly any wax/ sealant applied to a surface with scratches will 'fill' the swirls.Zaino Z5-Pro contains fillers which 'fills' the swirls even more so technically there is no reason why the swirls should be magnified. There is no need for the surface to be swirl free to use Zaino or Klasse as long as the paintwork is not contaminated.The only time LSPs dont 'work' is when the paintwork is contaminated badly or oxidised and the LSP cannot bond to the paintwork. Defects from bad paintjobs such as fisheyes or a cloudy clearcoat do NOT hinder its effectiveness at protecting the paint. Zaino Z5-Pro does give the paint slightly more warmth due to its filling properties. Zaino Z2-Pro has better clarity since it does not contain fillers.Beading shows whether there is still a propective layer of LSP on the paintwork. Flat large beads usually show that the LSP is wearing off. Just because it still 'looks' like its still there doesn't mean there is adequate protection. Sealants usually sheet water and this is better used to assess whether it is wearing off.Wetsanding is NOT a neccesary step. All it does is remove orange peel to 'flatten' the surface. Having orange peel does not hinder a LSP's ability to bond and protect the surface. I don't know whether you recommend wetsanding because you own a detailing business but that is a different matter. I would not trust anyone to wetsand my car as a slight slip-up can end up being a very costly respray.It is fine to layer other waxes over Zaino, the only problem is using other waxes in between layers. Zaino is far from being for the 'hardcore' enthusiast. there are plenty of other products that are more 'hardcore'</blockquote>
