I e-mailed Zaino about what products they would suggest to me since the kit had a bunch of items i already had. I find their website is way too complicated and it contradicts itself A LOT. So if you're trying to figure it out yourself, forget it. That being said Sal Zaino got back to me and this is what he suggested for a list in no particular order:

Z-5
ZFX
Z-AIO
Z-PC
Z-CS
Z-8
Z-6

Couple of things to note. I did ask about Z-2 and he suggested Z-5 instead. He did not suggest getting both as it seams a lot of people do. Also, I said in my e-mail that i wanted something very comprehensive. So as far as I understand, this list will probably be overkill for most people, including me. But you don't use all of these, every time you do a detail.

Thought there would probably be some people out there interested in this.

He sent me some other info as well about using the Z-PC, which they call their swirl remover:

How to use Zaino Z-PC

Z-PC is a versatile polish that can be used as a SMR or finishing polish. It works well on all paint, glass, plastic, and chrome and can be used by hand or machine.
I use ZP-C most often on maintained vehicles that have swirl mark build up from tunnel washes, or improper washing-drying techniques. ZP-C is not a compound
and will not level-remove severe defects.


Machine Use
D/A: Porter Cable:
Set your speed dial to ?5? using slow overlapping passes.


Rotary
1200-1400 for SMR and 800-1000 RPM for finishing using slow overlapping passes.


Pads
I prefer Lake Country 6-7.5? pads (High-Gloss, VC, or CCS)
Orange: Medium Cut
Green German : Medium Cut/Polish
White: Polishing
Black/Red: Finishing


Z-PC application


Eliminate Dusting: I mix ~ ¼ oz of Z6 per 4oz of ZP-C and prime my pad with one trigger of Z6.


Product Amount: After you polish a section your pad should be ?primed? with Z-PC. From this point on you only need 2-3 pea sized drops on your pads (per
section) as you continue to polish the surface? To put this in perspective 1 bottle of Z-PC lasts me as long as a 16oz bottle of Menzerna FPII.


By Hand: Using the Zaino applicator, apply 2 pea sized drops to the pad and work the product in a 1 x 1? area using straight line strokes (up-down, back-forth,
and diagonal), using medium pressure.




?Break Down? the Polish: Work Z-PC into your surface in 2 x 2? sections until the polish becomes translucent (i.e. you will see a light film on your paint). If
your towel is dragging or if the paint doesn?t wipe off with very little effort, then Z-PC is likely not broken down and still ?wet? on your surface.


Removal: Wipe your surface clean with a MF or cotton towel. If dry residue is present after your wipe down Z6 or a damp MF or Cotton towel can be used to
remove the product.

And here is a trick he sent me about using Z-CS, which is their version of a sealant I believe.

Try this trick with Z-CS.
It's so Awesome! The Gloss and slickness is Incredible!!!!! It will knock your socks off.
Apply Z-CS over any Zaino Z-5 or Z-2 base... Apply Z-CS according to directions to the whole car. After doing the whole car.

Wait a minute and then immediately apply Z-6.... or you can use Z-8
Step back and check out the Foot Deep Gloss and Slickness..
