Damn, do you need to buy the whole series to get results? I thought I could buy one or two of them to get rid of swirls and give me some shine. I don't feel like putting little Johnnie Zaino thru college.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Basically all you need is ZFX, Z5 or Z2 and Z6. You might need ZPC depending on how deep bad your swirl marks are and claybar you can buy anywhere at your local autopart store.
In my opinion, I ended up spending that much money on other cleaner/wax type anyway, why not use the best on your Porsche.

I love Zaino too. I have been using the ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7 and Z8. When I use the Z2 or Z5, I park it overnight and then hand-buff the wax off the next morning.

I have always used the original meguiars professional stuff.
I just did the Boxster with P21S. It looks good like any other ure carnuba, but I am sure it won't last if I drive it everyday.
I hear the zaino lasts like a glass coating and the only drawback is the time it takes.

very nice one of my favorite colors. Nearly bought an M3 that color a few years back. Glad i didn't!
Some folks swear by Zaino. I think all the boutique brands deliver the same show stopping looks. I'm personally not crazy about the idea of buying everything from one brand but that's just me. I'm always trying new stuff and I need products to be compatible with products from other brands.
but uh yeahh swirl remover, Poorboys is excellent but you need a PC orbital polisher to use it effectively. A very worthwhile investment.

Yes, yours is clear-coated.
From what I have read, solid colors were clear-coated since 1995. If you polish your car, and no color comes off on your rag (white rag) this is proof positive your car is clear-coated.
