You will need these Zaino products;

ZFX - fast curing agent for polish (you can skip this if you want to wait longer in drying/curing times per coat)
Z2 - Car polish
Z5 - Polish for scratches and swirls (you can skip this if you do not have scratches and swirls)
Z6 - Gloss enhancer.
Z7 - Car wash Shampoo
Clay Bar - You can also buy from Walmart or local auto parts store for cheaper

1. Strip previous wax - (15-20 mins)
What you need to do is strip any other wax you have before you begin. To do this, wash with Dawn (Blue) and water twice with one rinse in between. DO NOT dry car as yet.

2. Clay Bar (20-25 mins)
Mix water with Z7 in a spray bottle and then spray on 6" x 6" area to lubricate and move clay bar on it till all the contamination are picked up and the area is as slick as it can be. You will know this when the clay moves smoothly on the surface. Do all the car with this process.

3. Wash Car (10 mins)
Wash car again with water and 4-5 caps full of Z7.

4. Dry Car (10 mins)
Dry with leaf blower to blow water from out of behind mirror, license plates, grill, trunk and doors. Use 100% white cotton towels to dry remaining water left behind. Do not let water evaporate since it will leave water spots.

5. Apply Polish (10-20 mins)
Now you need to prepare polish by adding ZFX if you want to reduce on waiting time for curing. Add 4-5 drops per oz. of Z2. Shake well in the bottle it came with for 3 mins. Keep aside and get your towels, applicator etc. now shake the bottle one more time for 1 min and squirt a dime size on the applicator it came with. Fold applicator to spread polish on it. Put it on the car paint and apply VERY THIN coat. Do not apply more, you do not need it. Apply to whole car and wait for 30 mins for it to cure. More if you have not added the ZFX.

6. Buff off Polish (10-15 mins)
Buff off polish with cotton towel. Keep on folding towel to remove polish off.

7. Enhance Gloss - (10-15 mins)
Spray a squirt of Z6 on 1'x1' area and buff off with cotton towel.

You can do multiple coats by repeating steps 5 to 7 by switching to Z5 in between. This can be done immediately after step 7.

VERY IMPORTANT: While washing, drying, polishing, buffing always use back and forth motions on trunk, hood and top and up and down on sides. NO ROTATIONS AT ALL.
