My wife bought a new car and it needs to be protected. I need a simple process that she can do herself. I am a Zaino fan so I want to useit on the car. Can I use Z-aio on a new car and top it with the z-cs or should I put a layer of z2 pro and the top with z-cs? I will wash with dawn first to remove oils and such.

I would wash with Z7 then ZAIO and CS. It doesn`t get any easier than that. If you want to use dawn first you can ( might not need to with ZAIO).

Well, some people would prefer I not answer this because I have never used Z-AIO or Z-CS. I don`t think you even need to do the Dawn wash (obviously you need some kind of wash) because the Z-AIO is a cleaner and should remove any oils. You can go straight to Z-CS, or if you feel like it you can put your Z-2Pro layer on, which will be catalyzed by the AIO.
One caution would be, on a new car, that you may have rail dust or other contamination which should be removed. Since it sounds like you are doing a KISS approach, some light claying might be in order (light so you don`t introduce any marring which Z-AIO would be unable to remove).

Claying is a good recommendation if needed. Do the Baggie test and check for roughness.
What color is your wife`s new vehicle? I love Z2PRO over ZAIO and this combo topped with CS for my white SUV and yellow Z06.
Got the toys. No reason not to use them. ;)

What color is this vehicle?
Z7 wash
ZAIO
Z5 or Z2
ZCS
Z8 after washes to keep that glow and durability

Pretty much what everybody already said:
Wash
clay if needed
ZAIO by hand
1x of Z2pro for silver
CS
