Should i order this list?

Sup guys,
I'm getting the car this coming friday so i'm going to order Zaino prob on monday, i had another thread but this is what i'm thinking of as of now.

I'm getting Z-2, ZFX,Z18,Z-7, Z-6. Ofcourse the leather cleaner and Leather conditional.

So the order would be Wash the car, ClayBar, Car wash; Z2 pro and ZFX and Z6.

If i remember right i did use Z-2 when i bought my G and i had lot of trouble with this stuff. So hopefully i will do a better job this time

I know first time you're suppose to wash the car with Dawn, but what if i skip the dawn step? I really don't want to use Dawn just because i know it strips the wax out and i'll be scared if i missed few places with Z-2 and wouldn't be sure if i applied it right.

What do you guys think? Also, When applying Z-18 could i use Z-6 with it? I nver used any clay before so forgive me for my newby questions.

thanks,
M

I can tell you what I do and see what you think. For sure do the dawn wash. If the car has wax on it and you try to put Z-2 on, it will be kinda pointless because you want sealants to go on clean, un-waxed paint otherwise it won't adhere properly to the paint. If that happens you're then just waisting product. So dawn the car, clay, wash (polishing would really be the next step you should do if the car has any swirling on it) if the car is swirl free then Z-2 x 2. After I apply 2 coats of the Z-2 they wipe it down with the Z-6. After that I like to top it with a nice carnauba like P21s to give it some of the warmth that sealants often lack. I would also recommend Z-8. I think that stuff is INSANE in terms of shine and slickness. It is a little pricey so you don't want to use it like a spray detailer. Use it before you go on a cruise or a car show. It REALLY amps up the shine, you'll get addicted to the stuff. Hope that helps.

Thanks, how long do you wait till doing the 2th coat of Z-2?I'm prob going to go with 3 coats just because i'm woried i might miss some spots on the first two coats for ex some hard to reach places etc.

thanks guys.

If you order the ZFX you can do the second coat immediately. If you don't use the ZFX, wait 24 hours.
