Had the same problem. Car looked like it was washed with sandpaper. Used Meguiar's scratch remover with no luck, tried 3M swirl remover - no luck then went to Zymoil, again no luck. Read "Guru Reports" about waxes and decided to try Zaino. I tried the Zaino, but before I applied it I talked to someone at Zaino and they told me that when people tell them they have a black car, they tell them to paint it :lol: When I applied the "Z5" for swirl removal it didn't seem to work. Zaino states that you can apply up to 5 coats of "Z5". I was working in a garage with flourscent lights. When I finished applying the rest of the Zaino products and rolled the car outside on a sunny day, the scratches became very diffucult to see close up. Didn't think the Zaino would work but like the "Monkeys" song- I'm a believer. This stuff is great. Problem - my wife wants to know when I going to do hers? :roll:
