heres your order:

1: Wash with dawn (dont matter if u leave it wet really)
2: Claybar
3: Wash with dawn and dry REALLY good

you dont need Z1 if you have ZFX. mix 2 drops for each ounce (i think, check instructions) of Z5 and Z2. so fill one bottle half way with Z5, and mix 2 drops of ZFX in it. same with Z2. dont fill the bottle, cause if you dont use it all, you cant use it again after 6 hours.

4: Z5 (with the ZFX mixed) and buff after cured

buff only after that sh!t has cured for a long time... dont do it on an overcast, humid, or rainy day. the stuff REALLY has to cure

5: Apply Z6

You do not need to buff after Z6, just do what the spray bottle of Z6 tells you to, which is wipe until dry.

6: Apply Z2 (with the ZFX mixed) and buff after cured
7: Apply Z6

Keep applying coats of Z5 and Z2 with Z6 in-between the coats until your happy. make sure you top off the last coat with Z6.

Your looking at a full days work to do 3-5 coats. but its SOOO worth it.

and Z6 the car every morning first thing afterwards if theres no major dirt on the car. this will kep the shine

ENJOY!!!!

Darkshear pretty much covered it.
Very good idea to Z6 in between coats. Thin coats are the way to go. So thin that it looks like you're not leaving anything on the car. If it's tough to buff off, don't rub harder, use some Z6 and some patience otherwise it may lead to micro marring of the paint.

I have a slightly different wash order.
1. Wash with Dawn (leave wet)
2. Clay
3. Wash with Dawn (leave wet)
4. Wash with regular car wash (I prefer Z7). I do this to remove any residue that Dawn may have left. Dry car completely.
5. Go to Zaino steps.

If I polish, I'll add the following between 2 and 3.
- Wash with regular, dry
- polish with some paint cleaner or smr.
Just set some time aside.
Good Luck !
