my m3 looks pretty good but its got some specs in the paint ( i need to clay it im sure on that) and then some swirls, not really bad as its hard to see em but i wanna take care of it non the less
im willing to buy a pc and pads for it but i need advice on what to get.
if somone can recommend a few products
(i have zaino clay, and ive got nxt wash, and PLENTY of meguirs wax but i wanna go to zaino again)
i just need polishing products... is there ONE polish/cleaner that will take care of it for me?

Bump....I also would like to do a clay, polish (coarse and fine) and then a nice sealer.
Iv got a ?: Is it wrong to rinse, wash, and clay and then do nothing and just do the polish and sealer or Wax at a later time?
DOing all of that stuff at once is a lot of work.
what do you all say?

zaino has a polish made for the PC. i havent used it, but my experience with zaino is there are better products (that are also less expensive) out there for removing swirls. its a good sealant, no doubt, but not so great with swirls.

Definately remove the swirls before applying Zaino. Yes, you can do the steps over a few days, just make sure to clean (wash) your car before polishing and waxing.
For removing swirls, Zaino has a product called ZPC for application with a PC. I have never used it myself, but I've heard wonderful things. It has no fillers so your car is immediately prepped for Zaino application. I use menzerna myself which also has no fillers, but I'm gonna order some ZPC to try out.

hmm. sounds good. you know one time on my 328 it was super swirled and then i did meguairs scratch x by HAND followed up with nxt paste and there was NO SWIRLS whatso ever the paint looked brand new, but id say 50% of the swirls came back in a few months... so i dont want to cover up anymore and ill buy a pc if thats whats gotta be done...

I used it this weekend. It does a great job of cleaning the paint and prepping it for Z5/Z2. It definately leaves the paint smooth and squeeky clean. I wasn't looking to remove any swirls, so I can't comment on how well it does that.
