Default Yet Another zaino question

Howdy! I am going to claybar and zaino the car again tomorrow but i can't remember exactly what i did last time. I currently have Z2, Z5, Mothers Claybar Kit, Green Zaino Polishing Compound. It is being done by hand w/o a PC tomorrow.

What are some suggestions of order to go in?

I was thinkin it was wash, claybar, maybe wash again, polish compound, then Z2, then seal with Z5. is that correct?

That looks like the right order to me. You could wash with Dawn soap to get really clean before you clay.

Default order of application

Class of 2001 here....I recommend you go Z5, then Z2. Z5 should serve to fill in the very minor scuffs and Z2 will seal it up. Also, make sure you wash after the claybar! Recent Zaino-phile conversion here....a true believer!

Always finish with Z2. Other than that everything looks good.

i also use zaino and you can not use Z2 and follow it up with Z5
or Z5 then Z2. if you was going to do that the only way is if you have zaino ZFX. a little tip sal zaino him self told me. and also use Z7 in between coats.
and for the best shine you ever seen use
100% terry cloth. towels
to dry the car wash the car and remove wax it is insane shine .
the Z7 and towels will make a world of diffrence
check out . the web site for more tips and tricks
