Default Zaino pc

I would like to try Zaino pc with a Porter Cable 7424 on my 2008 black Vette. I have applied 5 layers of Z2 & Z5 to the car and it looks great but in certain light I can see some light scratches? Any advice or thoughts on using the ZPC with a PC7424?

I've used Zaino ZPC with a pc and got very good results. I would first wash and clay the car before using ZPC. Work small sections at a time, and work it until the ZPC brakes down (clear). I would start with a green pad and see how that works for you. If it's not giving you the results your after move up to an orange pad. When you're finished, top it off with Z5, Z2 and Z8. You should be looking good.

Thank you, I have used the clay bar from Zaino about 3 months ago and havent really driven the car much since then. The paint is very clean and smooth, but I want to remove some of the light scratches. can I apply the Zaino pc over the existing 5 layers of Z2 & Z5?

Yes, it will remove whatever Zaino is on the car as well as the scratches. Just reapply when you are done.

I love ZPC, but make sure you are satisfied with the results before you move on.
ZPC is fairly mild. Not saying you won't be happy, but you may need a more aggressive polish first.
A step up is menzerna SIP first, followed by ZPC.
SIP/orange pad, ZPC/orange pad, ZPC/white pad, then sealants by hand =
