I use CG's EZ Creme glaze before applying lsp. Or Poli Seal from Optimum. Or, ZAIO from Zaino.

If I am doing a full out polish the car is going to get foamed and washed after. If just a simple one step, then Lusso RC before the wax or ZAIO before any Zaino. If I use ZPC as a polish, then just a Z6 wipedown.

I foam the car with a alkalie degreaser and rinse it with a power washer. Dry the car and follow with a IPA wipedown.

I could not agree more with you. One of the easiest and most rewarding products I've ever used...

I always wipe down after a polishing...after i do a panel i do a prep sol wipe to inspect my work...then after fully polished I give it a wash with a medium mix of Citrus wash to make sure all residue is off the paint and out of the cracks and none stuck in cowl vents...I then know my paint is clean of any oils...renegade polish residue and ready for any wax or sealant....

I finish with Menzerna Final Polish, and dont bother with a cleaner unless I use Zymol or Victoria Wax, in which I will either use HD Cleanse by hand or Victoria Deep Cleanse with my Rotary and a black Ferecla pad.
