C'mon man, you don't need a professional detailer. What, so they can use an orbital buffer? I personally avoid those, too easy to go through the clear coat.

I'm sure you know the process. Personally, I use a clay bar, some polish if needed, paint sealer, then synthetic wax, then carnauba wax.

about 5-6 coats of zaino Z-5 should fill in all of the swirl marks. Then use Z-2 for the ultimate shine.

Wrong. Asked Sal Zaino himself several times. One week after paint job is enough time for wax or zaino
