Woah, those are the exact same products I use at the exact same time intervals. My detailer spray stays in my trunk with a cloth!

Zaino is by far the best... a fresh coat every few weeks... but the more you apply, the deeper look you get.

It's been 3 months since I got the car and just had to order more Zaino. lol...
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-8 coats on it now.

Last time I did it I said hell with WheelWax and just Zaino'd the wheels. The Wheelwax doesn't last.

Assuming no marring and such, I give the cars a light chemical polish (Prime or AIO) every 6 months. If there is marring, I go with Menzerna IP or FP depending on the severity followed by the chemical polish.

As for sealant, I seal at that time using either Zaino (3 coats with ZFX on the daily drivers), Werkstatt, or Poorboys EX (currently on the G35). From there on out, I might hit the Zaino cars with an additional layer maybe a month later and then just hit it with Z8 every 2-3 weeks to shine it back up. On the PB cars, I use Natty's Blue whenever I feel like it which has currently been every 2 weeks but would usually do that every 4-6 weeks. In between, I use Spray and Gloss to bring back the shine a bit.
