Setting aside this Saturday for the First Wash (tm)

Picked up the car a few days ago, and they did a VERY good job at the Prep Center at JMK, but I always go a bit nutso when I first get a car!

I've never used Zaino's products before, but I've heard they work very well for long term protection if you're willing to spend a day to do it right. Zaino is often lauded for how well their products layer, will this be enough time between applications to allow for proper layering?

I was planning on waiting ~30 minutes between applying a layer of Z5/Z2 and Z8, then another 30 minutes after each application of Z8 to put on another layer of wax. I plan on topping it all off with the Z-CS sealant.

Does this sound like a good plan? As I said, I've never used Zaino's products before, so I'm unsure as to how long I should wait between applying layers.

Here's my plan:
-Wash
-Clay
-Wash

-Z5(ZFX)
-30 minutes
-Z8

-30 minutes

-Z2(ZFX)
-30 minutes
-Z8

-30 minutes


-Z2(ZFX)
-30 minutes
-Z8

-30 minutes

-Z6
-Z2(ZFX)
-Z8

-30 minutes

-Z6
-Z8
-30 Minutes
-ZCS

I always go a little Nutso for the first wash. Keeps things easier down the road if you have a GOOD layer.
