Right, every time i polish then wax my car it looks great for a couple of weeks then fades and becomes watermarked again. I am aware part of this is because i am using the meguires 3 step system and carnuba wax doesnt give very good protection.
What Zaino product should i be using to prep my paint for a good polish then wax? I am willing to buy a few products (ie swirl remover/cleaner etc and a good final sealant to keep the finish) but i cant really stretch to £75 for the full kit.
What do you recommend Jon? I can live without a full show car finish, but it would be nice to keep it looking nice and deep wet looking red.
Zaino to remove oxidation and swirls.

yes it is
the lads who run that company do it kinda for fun
they both owned e30 m3s
they both have other jobs but due to how hard it was to get zaino into uk they spent a long time getting it sorted so they could be the distributor as they loved the products
they asked if they could use pic as that has 2 layers of z2pro on and a misting of z8

Zaino confuses me lol!
If the zpc removes swirls and oxidation etc and the z2 is a polish, the what the hell is the z1 for?
then z3 is a polish as well!!! What product is the 'wax' or top sealant then?

z1 is the polish lok
ie this must be used on first application .
zaino likes to bond to itself or clean paint
the z1 is what enables the z2pro or z3 to stay on so well and be so durable
once this has been done on first coat then you dont need to apply again unless you strip zaino off and start again.reasons for this could be say once a year you remove any swirls /marks ,reclay, etc and you use abrasive product to repair this will have removed the zaino and therefore z1 will be needed again for initial application
after theis you can layer zaino again and again and it just starts to look wetter and wetter
the sealant is the z3 or the z2pro
you only use one of these and as already stated z2pro for metallics
z3 for solid non metallics
