So I bought the Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleanser Swirl Remover
and the ZKIT-2 Zaino ULTIMATE Protection Show Car Kit.

Day before yesterday I used the Z7 Show Car Wash and the Z18 Clay Bar. Took me a couple of hours but when I was done, I had already seen a difference and my paint although feeling unwaxed, felt smooth as silk.

Yesterday morning at 5am with the sun coming up I used the Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleanser Swirl Remover with the WEN 4" cordless buffer I bought from Brian. Wiped that all off and then used Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches, followed with Z-6 Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer Spray then the Z-2 PRO Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Car Finishes. Did the last 3 things Z-5 (with the ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive) , Z-6, and Z-2 two more times before the sun was up and made the car too hot (I dont have a garage). Stopped for the day. This morning again I got started at 5am and did 3 more Z-5, Z-6, and Z-2. Lastly I used the Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss on all my faded trim around the doors and along the doors. The trim looks almost new again with just a few applications.

All in all, I cannot say enough about how much better the car looks. It was well worth the hard work and total of 10 hours of detailing.

Next I will use the Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner and Z-10 Leather in a Bottle on the inside, but after I rest for a bit.

Here are the pictures which don't do the Zaino justice.
