gmartin - here is what I did and how long it took:
Wash with Dawn dish detergent - 45 minutes
Clay bar - 2 hours (I don't think it really needed it - the paint was pretty smooth)
Re-wash with Z-7 - 30 minutes
Apply Z-5 polish (w/ZFX)- 1 hour (then wait until dry 30-60minutes)
Buff and apply Z-6 gloss enhancer - 30 minutes
Apply 2nd coat of Z-5 (w/ZFX) - 1 hour (then wait until dry 30-60minutes)
Buff and apply 2nd coat of Z-6 gloss enhancer - 30 minutes
Total of about 9 hours spread over 3 days.
I didn't have enough energy to apply a third coat of Z-2 polish. It looks darn good without it.
Thanks for all the kudos!

Coyote Thanks for the details! It's nice to see that if you put that amount of time into the detailing that it pays off. The car looks incredible. I hope that when mine finally arrives I will be able to do it. My current ride hasn't seen a sponge from my hand in about seven years Zaino seems the way to go.
