- Washed car with Dawn dishwashing liquid.
- Found no reason to clay (paint was smooth both to touch and using the plastic wrap test).
- Mixed ZFX and Z2 (enough for two coats).
- Applied ZFX & Z2.
- Took 2 hours to dry and them wiped off (put too thick of a coat on the car).
- Applied Z6 to entire car.
- Waited 30 minutes and then applied 2nd coat of ZFX/Z2 combination.
- Wiped off an hour later.
- Applied Z6 to entire car.
- Waited a couple hours and then applied Z2 only. Let the polish sit on the car overnight and wiped off the next morning.
- Applied Z6.
- Done.
Next weekend, I plan on applying three coats of Z2 only. That should be enough until next December/January. Each coat takes 10-15 minutes to apply and another 25-30 minutes to take off and apply Z6.

Method of applying Zaino: BTW, I am not fanatical about using Zaino (i.e. apply on a weekly or monthly basis) but I am a long time Zaino user and highly recommend these products (ZFX, Z1, Z2, Z5, Z6 & Z7).
I'm sure the other products work well but I've only used the ones previously mentioned.
Of course, when applying Zaino always use 100% 'Made in the USA' cotton applicators and white towels.

Seriously? I thought that using dishsoap was the worst thing you could do for a car's paint? Why not use car wash liquid, like Mother's or something?
