Also get Z1 - prep.

Don't forget the Z6!!! This is the key to the whole Zaino deal...Z6 after every application of Z2 or Z5 AND in between applications, you can bring back that showroom shine in 15 minutes with Z6!!!

Get one each Z2,ZFX,Z6,Z7,Z10 and Z16. That should be good to get you started. After using it for several applications, you can gauge future orders.

My personal opinion - skip the Z1 and buy ZFX. ZFX acts as an accelerator so you don't have to wait hours (or even more than a few minutes) to take off the Z5 or Z2. No need for Z1 if you use ZFX.
I also happen to be a big fan of Zaino leather cleaner and treatment, glass polish, clay bar, and (especially) the tire and rubber treatment. Much better look than Armor All, and doesn't attract dirt.

I was trying to interpret on the Zaino website when they were talking about the ZFX they said it made the Z1 unnecessary if the car had been cleaned with Dawn. Are they saying it is ok to wash with Dawn or did I interpret it wrong.

Clean with Dawn before beginning your Zaino pilgramage...to ensure all previous waxes / polishes / bird droppings have been removed...then use nothing but Zaino products until you die...

It's ok to wash your car with Dawn to prep your car for the Z2/ZFX application. Dawn will strip the wax off your car. The ZFX added to the Z2 will accelerate the cure time so you don't have to wait in between coats. If you go the Dawn/Z2/ZFX route, you don't need to get Z1. Using WD-40 is also helpful with cleaning off bugs.

I also understand that Dawn does NOT take off Zaino products, since they are not oil/silicon based.

or if you want the ultimate finish, start with claybar (after a thorough wash) - I think it's Z18. It will do the same wax-stripping job as Dawn and it actually preps the paint by cleaning the accumulated crud in your paint. You will be surprised how much crap will come off you clean car's paint.
