If you really want to get the previous coats of Zaino off, you can do so with iso-propyl alcohol. Why do you need Z-PC? Are there alot of swirls / scratches in the car?
Thanks for the info Beowulf.
Since I was getting the AIO and PC I thought I would give them a try. The DD is silver (10 years old) it looked nice and clean after the clay and a shot of Z6. I then did a coat of Z5 and another Z6. The paint had a few scratches and more than a few chips from rocks and such on the hood and bumper. I hit it again last night with 5 & 6. I can’t tell where the scratches are anymore. So I’ll do Z2 today and leave it alone for awhile. The car has never looked this good before, problem is……. I keep touching it! It’s so smooth, clean & shiny. I’m impressed with this stuff. The car was detailed when I bought it 5 years ago but I haven’t done anything to it since, besides wash it once in awhile. On a side note, will AIO remove Z2 / Z5?
