Lets see some pictures...

This is mine with recent Zaino treatment, great shine but the Z5 did not get rid of the swirl marks, any advice?

Swirl remover from a body shop or body shop supplier. Stuff at the coner store won't work. Will have to strip all the wax and sealant, if any first. For the amount you need a body shop might give you an oz or 2,

I don't know if I got a bad can or what but I didn't like the Pig Spit at all.

Pig spit is mainly for the black powder coat of the motor.


This was after one coat of Zaino. I always do at least two now.

Alright I'll give it a go.



Well then how about the least amount of effort on your tank award?

I have a vivid black paint job. I have little scratches on the tank. I have used meguirs scratch x, quixx neither has worked. I do not want to put to much stuff on the tank in fear of ruining it even worse. I am still looking for something that works!!
