Depends on what you want to do and how bad of shape your paint is in and do you have leather?

I use the following
Z1 Prep
Z2 Wax
Z5 Swirl remover
Z7 Soap
Z10 Leather conditioner

Follow the steps, wash your car first with Dawn dish soap (Only once) then apply Z1 Let dry, then Z2.
There very good tips on line and they do work.
I'm sure some one else can provide you with more detail!
Best of luck to ya,
Tim

To add to what Timster said, I also use the Z-6 and ZFX. The Z-6 can be used after you are all done with your detail work and in between waxes. It repells dust and what not, but I like it for the depth it provides the paint. The ZFX just allows the Z-2 and/or Z-5 to dry faster, allowing for more coats in less time.

If your paint is "rough" to the touch, you may want to invest in the clay bar, Z-18. Claying a car with rough paint makes a huge difference.

The Z-1 you only need to apply once or twice per year. And for the leather I like Leatherique products best, although they are more work.

Zainos in my opinion is the best line of products there is.

Good luck!
