I have washed the car, clay bared it, washed it again both with detergent soap. Next I use Z1 right. Then I'm unclear. The tips and tricks has a lot of "or"s in it. The car has lots of swirl marks in it. So do I go Z5, Z6, repeat Z5 then Z6 till swirls are gone then Z2, Z2, Z2, Z6? Whew. I'm sweating thining about it.

It has been a while since I have used Z1, but when I used it, you let it dry to a haze (do not wipe off) and apply Z5 over the Z1. Once this dries, wipe off and wait 24 hours before applying another coat of Z5. If you want to do multiple coats the same day, get the ZFX and use according to directions instead of the Z1.
Continue with the Z5 applications until you are satisfied with the swirl removal and then you have the option of going with the Z2, or continuing with the Z5.
Most importantly, apply very sparingly, creating a very thin coat. Spray Z6 on your application cloth to improve the application.
As far as the Z6, it is a gloss enhancer.....you can apply after each coat of Z5 or Z2 or if doing multiple coats, apply after the last coat of the day. I also use Z6 for a quick cleanup to remove bugs from the car's nose/side mirrors, etc. if I am unable to wash the car.

Using the ZFX will also help the Z-5 fill in the swirls better, along with being able to do back to back coats. Keep using the Z-5 until the swirls are filled. Make sure you aren't constantly putting in new ones.
