Not really true... the reason paint doesn't come off is because you are polishing your clear coat not your paint. If you were to go abrasive enough you would eventually pull paint from any finish after wearing through the clear. I am not saying that the Z is or is not single stage, I am just saying that it has nothing to do with removing paint when compounding.
