My zaino strategy: Comments requested.

I'm planning on washing my car for the first time in the next week or so. Here is my plan so far, please correct me if I missing something before I put in my zaino order.

Purchasing the following:
Z7 $9 - car wash
Z2 $15 - Car polish
Z6 $10 - gloss enhancer spray
Z10 $11 - leather in a bottle
From local shop: Meguire's clay bar

1. Wash the car with dawn, spray off with water and dry with cotton Towel.
2. Clay the car using dilluted Z7.
3. Wash car with Z7.
4. Apply Z2 w/ moistened applicator, let it sit to dry, since ZFX was not used.
5. Wipe off Z2 with cotton towel.
6. Spray Z6, spread it out, wipe it off, move to next section of car.
7. Spray Z10 on a towel, wipe down leatherette seats to get that wonderful leather smell.

Good? Good.

If you're not using ZFX, you should include Z1 Polish Lok and appy it before applying the Z2.

You got ZFX and Z1? Basically ZFX is for multiple coats since it makes it dry faster, and upto 3 coats.
