Post Can I get some first time ZAINO tips???

I have just received Z-1, Z-2, Z-5, Z-6, and I use Clay-Magic Clay.

Here are my questions...

I ordered ZFX and I will be waiting for it to arrive. Should my application process go like this???
a.DAWN detergent washing
b. Clay the entire car
c. Z-5 with ZFX (3 coats)
I read that you can do three coats in 24 hours using ZFX. Does this mean that the Z-5 will be dried in under an hour and I can Z-6 and do the second coat? How long do I need to wait for the second coat of Z-5?(roughly, given temp in New England)
d. DAY 2- 3 coats of Z-2 seperated with a wipe down of Z-6 in between.

If I missed something can someone tell me how to do this???

Thanks alot guys!!

After you clay the car, you should re-wash it again before you start the Zaino process.

And the ZFX should allow you to use Zaino in a wider variety of temperatures/humidity. KevinSS posted a few days ago that it generally takes around 20 minutes or so for Zaino to haze over, much less than before ZFX came out.

The Zaino webpage www.zainobros.com has ALOT of great info about all their products and tips on how best to use them. I'd read everything closely before you begin.

Yes, Dawn is used one time in the Zaino process to remove OTHER kinds of waxes and oils present on the paint as Zaino will not and can not stick to anything except bare paint, one time wash with Dawn will not hurt anything, after the car is Zainoed you should use the Z-7 car wash for regular washings.

Do you only use dawn the first time that you apply Zaino? Will it remove previously-applied Zaino?

Thanks

Dawn will NOT remove Zaino polish.
