Metalaaron -
You get a free applicator pad with a purchase and I used that to apply the Z-1. I used the other side of that applicator to apply the Z-2. (you don't buff off the Z-1..the Z-2 goes directly over the Z-1). I then spray the Z-6 gloss enhancer on the car and use a 100% cotton cloth to wipe it on. I use a different, dry cotton cloth to buff it dry. Z-6 dries quickly, so once you get it wiped on, you immediately begin to buff dry.
Between each application, I washed the applicator pad and cotton cloths in the washer using hot water.
