Which Zaino Products should I Buy???

It's spring time and less rain here in SF and I'd like to Zaino my car and it'll be the first time this baby get Zainoed. Anyone here can tell me which Zaino products should I use and buy? I called Zaino salesguy today and he told me to buy TONS of products, which I don't think is necessary. So, anyone here can advise me what to buy to make my car just like car in the auto-show?????

My car is obsidian black color nano-paint. Also, do I need to apply them using wax polisher??

Please advise,

Here is my list:

Z-18 clay bar
Z-1 polish lok
Z-2 polish
Z-5 swirl mark cover up
Z-6 instant detailer

Minimum list is:
Z-18
Z-1
Z-2

I LOVE the 5 and 6 though...and cannot now live without it.
You DONT need the lubricant or wash....Dove and water in a spray bottle does great as the lube, and any wash solution without wax added I think does fine (the 6 is then applied to bring out that Zaino shine!) Does cost alot, but well worth every penny.

I just use Z1 and Z2 and apply it by hand. Make sure you get some Zaino application pads. They simplify things greatly. It's a painless process that requires very little labor if you start with a good finish.

When you're done, you'll be greatly pleased.

That good finish is a painful process which takes several hours alone.
