I bought the car used at a Porsche dealership. It had a fair amount of surface scratches from the previous owner's neglect. I had them buff out the scratches as much as possible with 3M Finesse-It II. I then washed the car with Dawn and started with Z5 mixed with ZFX. It took a couple of coats to eliminate the buffer or swirl marks left behind from the dealership. From there, I've layered Z2, Z5, and Z6 detail spray in between. I also wash occasionally with Z7 after driving in the rain or before I apply a new coat of Z5.

Wash with regular car wash not dawn then claybar then rewash, then use a polish like a Menzerna Intense Polish then Menzerna Final Polish then use Zaino then take a step back and marvel at the beauty.

I'm waaay past that point now with this car. I'm curious to see if a carnuba wax over my Zaino will either be a boost or a bust at this time?

If you wanna test out with some topping, go for it. It will change the looks on that black paint imo. | |

| I see your point, but I considered what was done already sufficient enough like bjwebster mentioned.
