Nice thread. I am gettting ready to take a porter cable to my boxster. I've practiced on the Honda & BMW, so, nothing left but the box...

The boxster is in great shape. No dings, no real scratches, etc. But if you are really, really picky I can see some microscratching in the metallic black paint. This is especially visible in direct sunlight. This is what I want to take out.

So -- should I use the Menzerna IP with a Yellow Pad on the buffer? Or can something more mild like a Z-PC with a white pad do the job? I always heard the advise to start with the least abrasive & work up. I don't really consider the Menzerna to be that abrasive. I've thought about doing both - start with the Menzerna, then go back over the car with the ZPC.

Either way, I'll clay first, then do a few coats of Zaino Z5, then Zaino Z2 to finish.

I'd be curious if anyone with a 5 year old black boxster has had any first hand experience?

Either way, I'll share the before/after pictures & my methods.
