Ok, I have a black SS, and well it needs to shine :)
So I am going to buy zaino in a couple days.
My question, what zaino products do I need?
And what prep word do I need to do?
besides the zaino what else do I need? claybar? special towels? special cleaner to get old wax off?
I tried searching, but zaino comes up in so many I coudnt really find what I was looking for.

In my opinion, here is the bare minimum:
A few 100% cotton towels.
Wash mit(s)
Dawn dishwashing liquid (which tears down and removes old wax)
Clay bar (removes contaminates and everything else safely)
Z-5 or Z-2 (depending on the condition of your clearcoat)
ZFX (mixes with Z-5 or Z-2 prior to application)
Z-7 car wash (used later to keep the wax on)

K-Mart has some good 100% cotton, made in the USA towels. They are the Martha Stewart (Ugh) brand. The nice thing about them is that they do not have the stitched stripe that almost all towels have at one end.

Thanks :)
My paint is only 12k miles old and still looks good, so would i be good with just the Z5? or would it hurt to do the Z2 anyways?
and then every couple weeks I put on the z5 right?
what if I usually wash as wand wash bays? do I need the z7?
or is the wand wash just going to take all the zaino off?

wand wash ? What is that? Please don't tell me it's a car wash booth, where you pay to have your car washed.
No, you probably should use Z-2 since your clearcoat is in great condition. The only time you need Z-5 is if you can see lot's of swirlmarks. Z-2 is the final and ultimate wax that you should strive to maintain.

wand wash, yes where you are in a booth and spray wash the car, its toutchless, and i figure getting then using a hose and a mit to swirl around all the nice sand and dust that stays on the car.
and thanks for the link, forgot to look at their site.
