I followed the Zaino Instructions pretty closely the first time I Zaino'd my G. The first time is the worst, by far... wash with Dawn to get the old wax off... claybar... wash with Z7... wax with Z2 with ZFX additive... and finally put a coat of Z6 over everything. Some people put a coat of Z5 polish before the Z2, but I didn't.

It's a lot of work, but it looks great and lasts a good long time. It rained yesterday and my car looked like it had rows and rows of evenly spaces small dropplets of water over the whole finish... That makes it worth it.

Post a couple of pictures after you get her all shinned up.

the first time is def the worst, i did the same thing as __jb. although i put a coat of z5 after z7. after z5, z6, z2, z6, z2 and z8 to top it off. after that your car will shine like never before, but ur arms will hurt like never before
