Using it correctly it took me about 5 minutes, and revealed a brand spanken new shiny surface underneath, i was shocked. after so much effort before yeilding minimal results this was just too good to be true.

good luck and dont lose your head over it, i almost did

Yeah, I used a clay bar. It helped, but in the end, i still needed to polish it out. The surface looked a bit matted and rough, but with the clay bar it made it less noticeable. At certain angles though or light conditions, it'd still show up though. The polishing fixed this. It's just annoying though to have to do that when the bird poo has been on your car for about 30 minutes and it does this.

LSUTurboTiger, where do you find Zaino Z5? I haven't been able to find it at my local Kragen. Is it an online purchase?
