Hey everyone, after using zaino, I haven't really had to apply anything to my car to protect it. The thing though is that as time goes on, more and more scratches appear on my car. I used meguiars paint cleaner a while back with an orbital buffer and I saw a good improvement in the reduction of scratches. I don't use it often, but I was just curious to know if Meguiars paint cleaner is non-abrasive on clearcoated cars?

you do follow-up with the polish and wax, right??

the paiont cleaner from Meguiars is non abrasive and safe for clearcoats. Just make sure after you apply the claener apply polish and wax since the cleaner removes the wax

Although Zaino show car polish (actually, not a real polish) lasts a hell of a long time, it's not the best when it comes to hiding/filling swirls. Also, it's perfectly normal to see very light or faint "detailing-scratches" appear over time. It's practically impossible to completely avoid any marring to your clear-coat if you detail your car regularly. Furthermore, I've noticed that the actual Zaino coat itself tends to be a bit susceptible to marring. In other words, some of the scratches you see are scratches on your Zaino layer and not your clear-coat.

As RD said, the Meguiar's paint cleaner is perfectly safe and suited to use on your car 1-3 times a year to help keep the visible marring to a minimum. Follow that up with a good quality sealant or wax and you're all set.

Also, make sure you're using proper technique as well as the proper towels and applicators whenever you touch your car. (Please don't tell me you take your car to the car wash!)

Nah, I always wash it by hand.
