Which Zaino product should I buy to remove small scratches? I have Z7 and Z8 but I do not think are useful for scratching...

The closest thing Zaino do to a scratch remover is Zaino Z-PC, Z5 has a very, very limited swirl filling ability but to be honest you would be better off looking elsewhere for scratch removal.

then as I thought Zaino is great for polishing but does not have a specific product to remove micro-scratches or the like.
right?
What do you recommend not to scratch too deep? (such as those generated by the tree branches for example)

I have always found about 7 light rubs with 3m 2000 grit wet and dry sand paper then polish back up does the trick. Make sure the papers wet and supple and do not over do it or your rub throw the lacker.

Not quite, Zaino Z2,3,5 etc is great at protection and it leaves an incredible wet look wet look shine, it is not a polish though, polish is abrasive, with this in mind Z-PC is a polish, however it's abilities are limited, my advice would be to try something from either the Menzerna or 3M range of products, depending on paint type will dictate the level of abrasive you need to remove scratches, as a rule you start with the least abrasive to acheive the desired results.lucam3evo2 wrote:powelly wrote:The closest thing Zaino do to a scratch remover is Zaino Z-PC, Z5 has a very, very limited swirl filling ability but to be honest you would be better off looking elsewhere for scratch removal.
