My M3 is the same colour, i do the following -

wash with fairy liqud (gets all existing products off)
Z18 claybar with z7 solution as lube
wash with Z7
ZPC with rotary machine or porter cable
Z5 polish with porter cable
ZCS clearseal by hand
Z8 spray to finsh

Wait 24 hours then apply another coat of Z5 and Z8

results are always great!

why we must wait 24 hours? also to maintain the paint, which product will have to apply the next time I polished? (between 6 months for example). grazie. Luca

Becuase it takes 24hours for the first layer to cure, you could of course not wait but you'd just be wiping the first layer off which would make the whole process pointless.

^ no harm in claying the car everyday if you wanted to though.
