Help! ZAINO FUSION NOT WORKING!

Yea I've already "polymered" , my car with Zaino, first I did the fusion I thought it would take out the spiderwebbing and some of those microscatches. It didn't. I should have bought the Z-5 instead but I didn't I wanted to remove the scratches not cover them up! Plus my uncle has told me stories of filler waxes like Z-5 with silicone in them, does Z-5 have silicone?
What should I do?

Z5 does not have silicone.

There is another thread recently about Zaino PC fusion... I think it is more of a paintwork cleanser than a swirlmark remover. You may need to go to something more abrasive... my recommendations are always the 3M Swirlmark remover (in 2 colors for light and dark cars) or the Sonus SFX line of products that I got from www.autopia-carcare.com

I agree with what agranger said completely. And add that results with Z-PC can vary greatly depending "how" you use it (polishing process) and what type of pad you use. The degree of cutting ability is important.

But remember, it's a paint cleanser...a finishing product, not a all-out swirl remover.

I dug around and found the links to the Sonus line. For me, there is a bit of comfort in using a complete product line that takes you from beginning to end of the process.

Sonus SFX-1 Restore Polish (the compounding step - most abrasive)
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-410.html

Sonus SFX-2 Enhance (swirl mark remover)
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-420.html

Sonus SFX-3 Final Finish (paint polish and finishing glaze)
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-430.html


On another note: 4th Gear!!! Woo Hoo!
