After a year or so of listening to people rave about the Zaino products I broke down and bought one of his kits. I did the wash, clay, Z6, Z5 (with ZFX) and Z5 (without ZFX) again. I am thoroughly impressed with the results. It somehow smoothed out a lot of the scratches and the paint almost looks wet. I can see how if you use anything but a thin layer it can be hard to get off. I wasn't all that excited about the ZFX as I got better results when I left the Z5 (without ZFX) on overnight.

One thing I did find out is after using Dawn to clean off the old wax my rotors rusted really bad. After 4 days of sitting it took me about 30 miles of driving and braking to get my braking back without pulsating. There was so much rust it actually covered the inside of my wheels with dust and some got on the outside surface. I will be washing and waxing the entire set of wheels this weekend.
