Took me 3 coats of Z5 to remove most of the scratches and swirls in the paint. Thanks dealership! This pad looks like a major time saver IMO. I also really need an orbital polisher. Doing 3 coats by hand is painful and takes forever. I really wanted to add a last layer of Z2 but I'm too sore and tired. Haha.
