Default Layering of products on Silverstone

MY S2K is silverstone. I used the Zaino product line (z2, z5, z6) on the car. Looks great but not perfect. I still have very light swirl marks. I want to use a PC and remove the remaining swirls.
I would like recommendations on what layering methods & products should i use. And if possible, i would like to include Zaino in some the layering steps.

Thank you,

Not sure I follow. By layering do you means steps to remove swirls? Swirl removers aren't layered.

Nothing Zaino makes is going to get your swirls out other than ZPC (which I haven't found to be good). You'll need a PC and some real swilr remover. Sounds like you need a light one like Meguiars SWP, 3M Machine glaze or Optimum Polish.

After your swirls have been mechanically removed you can use Zaino. Use a layer of Z5 and then come back and do a layer or two of Z2.

all painted surfaces (and even the wheels) are clearcoated...

some folks think that the mirrors on red cars are skipped for some reason!

red and white s2000's, specifically. I've seen them oxidize and they tend to color transfer when polishing.

But silverstone = all cleared.

I've pulled color when polishing the mirrors on black S2000s as well.
