Ok Im going to Zaino the TSX as soon as the temps lower a little bit here in Texas. I cant spend 3-4 hours out in 100+ degree temps right now no matter how much I love a car. Besides I think those temps are out of the application reccomended temp ranges.

So for the first application:

1) Dawn wash (how much Dawn are you supposed to use again?)
2) Dry with micro-fiber cloth
3) Clay bar
4) Wash
5) Dry again with new microfiber cloth
6) Z-2 Pro with ZFX
7) Remove Z-2 Pro
8) Spray with Z-6 Gloss Enhancer
9) Z-2 Pro with ZFX
10) Remove Z-2 Pro
11) Spray with Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal
DONE

Are these the correct steps. Im assuming since the car is brand new and swirl free that the Z-5 polish and swirl remover arent necessary?

So later on in say 3-4 months when I want to do another Zaino process and wash the car. Do I use Dawn again, or can I just use the Meguires or Zaino car wash?

I figure later on I can incorporate a coat of Z-5 Polish, and seal over it with the
Z-2 after the first year during my two coat touch-ups.

Im just trying to clarify if my first time process is correct and if this is the only time ever that I will was the car with Dawn. (shudders).

This should help you out: Zaino 101 aka Zaino for Dummies and that is the actual name of the thread. And you can check the Zaino site located here for Tips and Tricks.

Thanks Hawhyen51!
