Zaino beginner question

I have searched but havent really been able to find what i am looking for. My 3 series should be here next week, so i wanted to get everything i need for it's first bath. I pretty sure i want to use the zaino, but i'm really not sure what i need. Is the starters kit on their site what i should get? Any ideas or thoughts would be great!

The starter kit includes Z-5 (Swirl mark Remover) and the clay bar. It wouldn't be needed on a new car, but since it's part of the kit I think its worth it. You will probably be using these two items in a few months anyhow. At around $80, why not go with the starter kit.

That is what i figured. Is their website the only place to buy the starter kit?

I clayed my car as soon as I got it and it made a huge difference. There was quite a bit of trucking dust and other debris on the paint. It was smooth as glass when I was done.

Clay, Z7,Z6,Z2+ZFX,Z6,Z2+ZFX,Z6,Z2+ZFX,Z8 and ENJOY!

Thanks!

I just checked out zaino's site and they didnt have the starter kit any more. Now they have this "Zaino Total Protection Show Car Kit" It still includes all the things Jesse said except the Z8. I could have sworn that they had a starter kit a few months ago. I'm still assuming this kit is the best bet.

Yes, IMO, Claying the new car is a must do! I swapped out the swirl remover for the Z8 Grand Finale Spray Sealer in the old kit. Good luck, you'll love the zaino!
