Default polishing question

I have a 2008 zo6 black thats never been machine polished .
I have waxed it with a little Zaino after washing and claying.
Ive had the car about 1 year . I have Menzerna super finish and Menzerna micro polish. I would like to stick with one of those if possible.'
What pads do I use on the 08 ?
I have an 02 that has been hand rubbed only also black , same question for this car.
BY the way , both cars have excellent paint
What do you recomend ?

Without seeing it I would say use a white polishing pad and some Menzerna nano polish with your ROB set at 5.5. Follow up with a strong Z7 wash and reapply Zaino. (Z-AIO, Z2p or Z5p, Z8)
