Then completly leather off. While it completly dries vac and do the inside.
Then Turtle wax coulor magic polish the whole car then polish off, then i use meguiras gold wax on it for a real good shine.
Then meguiras tyre gel on the tyres
Then if i polish the the zorst i use autosol metal polish.

I use Zymol Shampoo and Zymol Polish. Sometimes i use "mer" if i want a bit more of a cut in the paint due to fine scratches etc.

Yeh I found autosol about the best for getting burnt carbon and stuff off from the zorst.
It comes in Gold and black tube and costs about £3.00
If it's really dirty I use a scourer sponge, The ones you get for cleaning pans, sponge on one side and a green abbrasive on the other i find this really shifts the cr*p. If you put a blob of autosol on with it.
I thought this may scratch the zost but i have a Irmsher back box and hasnt scratched it yet.
But i would just test an area if you are going to use the sponge, As i dont want you blame if scratch your zorst.

i wouldnt touch it with anything apart from a wash and chamios until the paint has settled properly.
any wax or polishes etc can seal the paint causing reactions
