To keep my Black 370Z clean I follow this schedule:

Initially I washed car and did 3 coats of Zaino.

Once a week wash the car early in the morning before the sun is overhead. Wash with a cotton rag from auto detailing shop online.

immediately pull car in garage and immediately dry it. I use 2 cotton waffle towels and 14 cotton washcloths, approx 2 per panel (washcloths are small and easy to use one in each hand without dragging the ground, etc) to dry the car completely without scratching it. Then go over whole car one more time with my rethickulous cotton towel.

once a month, add a coat of Zaino.

Doing this has kept me from getting swirl marks or scratches, and keeps the car looking great, but hell, I am lazy, not sure I can keep this pace up forever.

Heres what i do.
Wash in shade, dont care the heat. Never press down on the car hard. I use what ever wash pads from walmart, lately useing microfiber ones that feel real soft on my hand.

Dry with my Torro Leaf blower, after that i use normal sized bath towel from walmart and just pick up the left over spots, NO pressing just glazing the towel over the car.

Then a Once over with z6, if i am feeling really good i use z8.

Since purchase of march 7th i have at least 6 coats of zaino z2 on the car.

I am going to switch over to z5 and only use that since it covers fine scratches.

When i get tired of doing all this, i will just use zaino Clear seal since it says 9 months of protection.

Also the zaino tire shine stuff, is A+++ zero tire sling, i cant believe it but yes its true.
