The zaino car wash (Z7) is what you use once the car is already Zaino'd. When you Zaino for the first time you'll want to use Dawn dish soap to remove all of the wax and other paint treatments. I agree on using a "swirl remover"...often referred to as a light cut leveler. IMO, 3M makes the best of these products. My sequence would be:

Wash the car with Dawn
Clay the car
Use a light cut leveler to remove swirls (use a PC orbital)
Z2 layer with ZFX accelerator (or use Z1 if you still have some, then Z2)
Z6 the entire car
Another Z2 layer
Z6 the entire car again
Repeat as desired

The more you do the Z6/Z2 routine, the more stunning the paint will be
