Ok i'm trying to get a general idea on how to detail and heres my ideas.
(black car)

I'll start with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze
Dual Action Cleaner/Polish which is a medium strenght abrasive to get the scratches/swirl marks out

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M8232 weaker
Body Shop Professional Swirl Free Polish slightly weaker

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M0764
Show Car Glaze- finishing glaze

Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M3416
Final Inspection finishing glaze

So what i'm going to do is use dawn to wash it, dry it, claybar the car. Then i'm going to start with the glazes and the different pads. I'm wondering what I should do when I get the paint prep done. Should I use zaino z5 and then coats of z2 or should I use meguires gold class wax straight on the paint after prep or maybe should I put the wax on after I finish the polish.

I'm thinking 3 coats of z2 pro and 1 coat of wax over that would be the best. Any opinions?

I'm not bothered by having to wax it every month, i'm just looking for the deepest possible shine.

Can't use a glaze if you're going to use Zaino. It needs to bond to bare paint.

 

ok, i'm confused then on what i need to do to prep the paint before applying z2

 

Wash with Dawn or use a paint cleaner or rubbing alcohol to remove old wax, then clay. Then use a mild swirl mark remover and buffer to remove the swirls and small scratches. If not using Zaino Fushion for the SMR you will need to rewash to remove the oils from the SMR, then you can start Zainoing away. No need for any other product when using Zaino.

 

Your routine would be alright if you didn't use #7 glaze.
