I finished off with another coat of Z5 and the finish looks great!  There are still a few microscratches but much less than before. Whatever you do don't get crazy with the Dawn as it rusted my rotors pretty good and the braking was terrible for about 30 miles until the rust went away. Unfortunately all the rust was then on the inside of my wheels and some of it even got on the outside of the wheels and car.

Yes, Basalt Black too. Thanks for the warning on the rust. I'll keep that in mind.
You might have just convinced me to use the ZPC with a white pad on the buffer. That is a very mild combination for both the polish and the pad (finishing polish). It wasn't sure it was going to be enough, but sounds like you saw improvement without even using a polish. I'll post some before/after pics.
