Fastest way would be a clay and light polish.

I dont have an electric detail wheel (or whatever they're called) to polish. Was hoping to do it myself.

Can I wash the car with Dawn like the old Zaino days?

no, its not a dawn removable sealant either...plus, you will want to polish the paint prior to applying zaino anyway.

Truthfully, there are much better and simpler options than Zaino these days. a 1 step polish with Menzerna powerlock will work just as well but look better IMO
