Minimally do the following:
1) Strip the wax or polish off by using Dawn Liquid dish washing detergent and lots of water
2) Clay bar (Z18) the entire surface of your car (note before you start how rough the surface feels before starting and how smooth it feels afterward)
3) Wash with Z7 car wash concentrate
4) Apply Z AIO or most any of the other Zaino Polishes like Z2
5) Additional coats will provide even more protection and a deeper luster but that will be up to you.

Once you have done the above at least once, you should clay bar at least annually; additional coats of polish at your leisure. It will amaze you as to how easier it is to keep clean your car after polishing with Zaino.

Just a note, Zaino is a protective polish not a wax.

Given that Zaino is a protective polish, does anyone apply a coat of regular car wax once they've Zaino'd?
