But that goes on top of 1 coat of Zaino AIO, 2 coats of Z 2 Pro, 2 layers of Z6, then finally Z CS. Is it a lot of work in the beginning? Hell yes, but the results are amazing and worth the effort. After the initial detail all I need to do to maintain the look for 6 months is a monthly wax and Z6 every 2 weeks. Z6 literally takes less than 10 minutes to do the whole car.

Once a year (spring) I do the following:
1) Clay bar
2) Meguiars Paint Cleaner - with random orbital
3) Meguiars Scratch-X (as needed) - with random orbital
4) Meguiars Paint Polish - with random orbital
5) Meguiars NXT 2.0 wax - with random orbital
Then in early fall, I do a simple wax.
Remember fellas, there's a lot more to paint care than just waxing and you really need some sort of mechanical equipment to apply and remove the material. My car is a daily driver so I don't get terribly caught up in the brands anymore. Been there, done that. There just isn't enough difference to justify the cost when the car is exposed to extreme sun, extreme temps (100+, 5 below), salt, rain, and snow. I'd sing a different tune if this was competition show car.

You're gonna wash the paint off.
I try to wash mine every 3-4 weeks, but it always rains the day after anyway so I don't worry about it too much unless there is salt on the roads.
I don't use any wax, just Zaino products. ZPC once a year in the spring, clay bar 2-3 times per year followed with AIO and Z2. I'm happy with the results and the protection seems to last quite a while.

I'll get a chance to test it out next week.DaveB is right about the buffer and clay bar. They both make a big difference in the final results.

colinite i may hve spellrd it wrong, but its the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a detailer and i've used it all. And nothing compares. Not alot of people carry it. You can't get it your local auto parts store. You need to go to like a auto paint supply company or somthing, but hands down the best

Anyway, I would wash it more often, but the weather here is just too unpredictable. Nothing pi**es me off more than spending an hour or two cleaning my car only to have it rain the next morning. The Summer isn't as bad.
