New owner and have been reading the posts and have purchased what I think are the proper materials/equipment using Zaino for finishing. I just don't quite know the proper order to do things. Here what I think is the order, please correct me where I am wrong.
I want to strip old wax with a Dawn wash.
fix scratches and rock nicks with cleaner, touch up paint, & clearcoat let dry, then use Langka blob to smooth flush.
While paint is curing do inside leather with Z-9 and Z-10
doing wood trim with Kohr Violin Polish. Don't know what to use on dash or vinyl or if there even is any vinyl. Black on Black?
Clean M-pars and apply carnuba wax, do tires with Z-16
remove swirls and such with 3M and PC 7424XP
wash again with Z-7
Clay entire car
PC entire car with Zaino Z-5
wash again with Z-7
Start applying Z-2 and Z-6 with ZFX for 3 layers with PC
finish off moulding's and such with Black on Black

Help me out here I want to get going on this before the weather turns.
I don't have the shade except for about 3 hr's a day in the afternoon so I know it will take several days.
Thanks in advance for any advice/comments.
