    Ive just done my car in Zaino its excellent stuff but I do have some swirl marks showing through, do you know the correct way to apply it, is it circular or straight strokes it doesn't say on the bottle.

    Good luck

    er no! I think I'll ask the guy who is painting the car. he's produced some pretty amazing shines in the past.

    not this time! over the past four years every panel except the bonnet and engine/boot lid. Had to get a pair of doors from Calefornia, thanks to e-bay! Rear arches rebuilt, front valance, rear skirt and two rear quarter panels. Even had to put a piece into the roof where it had rotted out behind the sunroof. When we took the paint off the roof you could actually see the rolled recycled steel....cr*p!!
    This time its remedial around the edges to keep her nice and tidy, she's 22 now so constant TLC required!

    zymol say to polish a car in straight lines, which apparently will help to avoid swirls.
