ZPC as a swirl remover
First coat Z5pro with ZFX
second coat Z2pro with or without ZFX
After first wash add some Z8

If you're only using Z2 and Z5, apply Z5 first. As many coats as you'd like. Z5 "Swirl Remover" actually has more "filler"-type properties (like traditional wax) than Z2 sealant.
I think a black Lake Country pad (using a PC) is probably the most firm I would use. I usually either remove them by hand, or occasionally by machine with a microfiber bonnet.
