Default Zaino for Beginners: What do I need?

It's time. My car just doesn't have the high shine that I think is should. I've only read about Zaino on the forum. And what I can see, sounds like this is the stuff for me. As a first timer what, at a minimum, do I need?

Thanks...Marvin

You need a claybar, Z1, Z2 or Z5 (might want both), Z6, and Z7 ( I think that is the car wash number. Then you need to buy to Royal velvet white towels. And always remember that a thin coat is all you need. ;)

You can skip the Z6 spray, I don't think it really adds a noticable shine. Mine's sitting, almost full. I use it once in a while to spray down TV and computer screens.

The Z-6 is very important to the system, gloss in only 10% of its use, here are the uses:

1. makes dust stick less
2. remove fresh bugs, finger prints, etc.
3. keeps the car looking factory fresh at all times
4. you should always have a coat of Z-6 on the car last at all times to keep contamination from setting up
5. remove light surface dust safely.
6. clean glass
7. clean window tint
8. good to use on wheels to keep brake dust from sticking
9. fills fine scatches
10. use after a wash to make the paint super slick

Z-6 is my favorite product, I sell 4 times more Z-6 than any other product, last time I was at the NCM selling Zaino, I ran out completely of Z-6 in one day.

I usually recommend first-timers to get Z-1, Z-2, Z-5 (even if you don't have swirls), Z-6, Z-7 and an applicator (two if they plan on going crazy). If it is a car that has been on the road alot, I tell them to get a claybar (Z-18) also.
