Zaino Day
Recently I Zaino'd my car for the first time. I purchased the show car package and spent the entire day on the process. The most difficult portion was claybar but in the end I think it was worth it. I was never one who was really into detailing until recently but I think now I'm a fan.
Unfortunately the weather was not sunny, I think the effects would be significantly more noticeable on a bright day. At a later time when I get all my summer mods in, I'll do another photo shoot and hopefully the Zaino results will show more.

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, it feels so good dragging your finger across and feelling nothing but smoothness...LOL sounds dirty. But it's amazing how much excess dirt and debris claybar takes off the car.
Corey's right, you can't get Zaino at a retail store (at least to my knowledge). I bought it off of zainobros.com and followed the FAQ using the full show car package.
Here's the process I used:
1) Clean car with Dawn
2) Clean car with Z7
3) Use Z6 to wipe off any excess dust
4) Claybar with Z18
5) Clean car with Z7
6) Use Z6
7) Add coat of Z2 with ZFX Accelerator
8) Clean car with Z7
9) Use Z6
10) Add coat of Z5 with ZFX Accelerator
11) Clean car with Z7
12) Use Z6
13) Add coat of Z2 with ZFX Accelerator
A couple of days later I washed and added one more coat of Z2 for good measure.

I'm lucky....I have a buddy that stocks it in his basement and sells it. He doesn't make a penny off it. He just does it to save us moeny on shipping. Zaino will send him new products to try out and for him to give feedback to.

Dawn (Only if you put wax on top of your Zaino...otherwise do Z-7 here)
Claybar
Z-7
2-3 Coats of Z-5 with Z-6/Z-8 in between
2-3 Coats of Z-2 with Z-6/Z-8 in between
Wax topper (No liquids like Meguiar's NXT or Mother's...only a good carnuba paste wax like P21S, Pinnacle Souveran (my favorite), FK1 Pink Wax, Trade Secret, Poorboy's Natty's, or Meguiar's #16)
With this, you'll have UNBEATABLE shine and protection; Zaino with seal the paint, and the combo of Zaino and wax will bring the asthetic qualities of both polish and wax together: polish's reflective, glassy look and wax's depth and darkening capabilities.
Otherwise, the car still looks great and nice job using Zaino...just fix your steps and save yourself time, product, and money while reaping the rewards of a more complete shine!

If you guys aren't already using the Z-8 Grand Finale Spray Seal
spray I highly recommend it. I use the z-6 spray then the z-8 after washing the car and boy does it shine!
Mitchubishi has some great suggestions above. I personally do wash again (z7) after using dawn. I do this just to be sure that all dirt/bugs etc.. are gone. Using the spray after washing seems to be the key.. It will keep your car looking like it did the day you waxed it.. not to mention it helps protect your paint from rain spots etc..
Normally when I wax my car I claybar it.. this will take an entire day and somtimes I'm finishing up the next day.
