Gary's a skeptic!!  Disclaimer: I've never tried it.
Wait a minute, the way I understand it, there is 
Z1,Z2,Z3,...Zbig..
You first have to strip all the old Z off by using some 
dishwashing soap.  Then 2 coats of Z1.  Then 2 coats of 
Z2... you get the idea.  EASY IT DOESN'T SOUND.  And 
$12.95... I think that must be for the Z applicator!  
Unless it has changed since I last looked at their 
website...?  Man, if you put that much work into it, you 
might as well repaint the car!  ;-)  Paul, I have a 
Pewter coupe, not as bad as black, but I don't have a 
swirl on yet, just protected with a quick application of 
McGuires..
