This one came to me in clean condition and had some heavy swirls and wash induced marring. For the most part the swirls where moderate on the vert panels.

QEW wash and clay using QEW mix as lube.
On the roof, hood and trunk I used green wool/P1500/Metabo 1500 to get out some water spots. I used a PC/white CCS/IP/3M UF to follow on the trunk as I did not want to burn any paint around the rear spoiler.
Test spot on door with 80% IP and 20% 3M UF/white CCS and 1500 on the metabo, thanks to Rydawg for the advise on using that combo on this soft clear.

I took the car back out and found some slight holograms on the right rear door. I cleaned wheels and tires then washed the car, to remove the polishing oils/dust and then went over the entire car (paint, glass and trim) with ZAIO/Green P3 pad/PC. That took car of the slight holograms and gave a nice clean surface for the zaino to bond to. This car will be outside 24/7 so I wanted to ensure optimum bonding of zaino to the surface.
I applied 3x of Z2pro with ZFX to paint/glass.
Then I used Z8 on all paint and glass.
Tires got Z-16
Exhaust tip got:
Deep Finish Chrome
Z2pro
Interior:
Vac
Iz CP wipedown
Glass got IG
Forgot to get after pics.
