Zaino'd black
Just a few shots of Brilliant Black with 2 coats of Z5 and 2 coats of Z2 with Z6 in between each coat. I love this stuff. However the their glass polish is very dusty when buffing it out.

It looks really good.. do you have any swirl marks? If so were you able to remove them with the Z5? I managed to get a good deal on my hood (also a Brilliant Black) probably using the wrong cloth to wash...

My Zaino shine. Z5 did not do much to remove the swirl marks. The car had 2 coats of Z2 and 2 coats of Z5 and coats of Z6 in between. Shine is amazing! Even caught the reflection of a jet passing overhead in the windshield. :D

The Zaino Glass Polish is the only Zaino product that I have every bought that I wasn't happy with. Not only dusty, but it left a haze on the windshield that I had a very hard time getting rid of.
Re the swirls, you need to use a good swirl remover/polish prior to using Zaino. Z5 doesn't do a very good job of hiding swirls, and what it does hide just comes back since it isn't removing them.
The most common mistake made with Zaino is failure to properly prepare the paint finish before applying it. If you have swirls and/or fine scratches, they must be removed prior to applying Zaino.
