I use Zaino and love it. I don't buy the bucket kit though.

ZFX & Z-2. For b/w polishes I use Honda Spray Polish (or the "Original Spray Polish", same as the HD Spray Polish) which thankfully was quickly put back on shelves a couple years ago in the same formula it started in. Works great. For oops, I use the Clay Bar, which is amazing in removing paint transfer, scuffs etc... I've used the same claybar for about 5yrs now.

The ZXF for me is a requirement to add to the Z-2 Polish. One time I didn't use it, it took forever for the polish to be dry up enough to wipe off. Using the ZFX it can wiped on and off quickly.

Initially wash the bike with a mild detergent dish soap, removes the previous wax and grime.
Thoroughly dry the bike.
Apply the Z-2 + ZXF moving with the lines of the panel
Remove the film once dried
Reapply 2-3 coats.

Do that once every 6mo. Between that, wash only with hot water & microfiber, hand and blow dry, use Honda polish done.
 
I ended up doing this. I went and bought a few items from the swisvaxx line. A friend of mine showed me his, it was amazing, I was hooked. I ordered all new detail stuff in one shot, so in a few days, I'll have a car wash company worth of products coming in to fill up my shelf!
 
Man, as much as I ignore prices when caring for my bike, you must have some cash to burn to talk yourself into that swissvax. $59 for a clay bar??!

CAT3, check out the Zaino wash. I use a dish soap wash first to remove oil & grit then rinse and refill the bucket with the Zaino and rewash.

Yeah I heard dish soap is great. In my experience, like when using mothers, meguiers, and stuff, Swissvaxx I think is going to last a ton longer because you don't need much. All of their products when I tried them out, spread so much easier than others, meaning you can use less over more surface area.

also, I'm planning on picking up maybe an Aston Martin or Carrera S as my next cars when my Cayman S (lease is up) and Mini Cooper dies.

So I want stuff to use on that as well. It's like anything else, take care of it, and it will last much longer and cost less in the long run.
