EDIT:
I've figured everything out thanks to some heavily reading, which actually took up most of the day. It truly is a jungle
Nevertheless I am happy I took the time to do the research.

further down I posted what I've come to think is the proper way to do my SB Z. Please comment on anything you think I might do another way.

NB: This is just a list I made for myself so I'll have a step by step guide to work from. I will not be hold responsible if anyone should go and scratch up their Z because they read this

 

First thing to do is get some abrasive polish and buff out the swirls. Once they are gone you you will want to know how to keep from making them all over again. You should spend some time at autopia.com and read about using a PC (Porter Cable random action buffer) to correct the finish issues and to help you decide on your wash, dry sealant, top coat, mf towels, and wash mitt products. FWIW, on my MB the Menzerna Intensive Polish followed by Final Polish II, both with white pad and PC, did a great job of getting my dealer installed swirls out. I have used Zaino on the car, but on black I prefer the depth that a top layer of good carnuba gives over the crystal clear Zaino shine, but that is all personal preference. You can get good depth from Z8 on top of Zaino sealants, but it is very short lived, a couple of days best case over a couple of weeks worst case with carnuba. Most sites that will sell you the PC will have a nice lineup of supplies to help you one stop shop. Read up and good luck.

^+1 indeed

I also have the problem with getting stuff shipped to Europe. Its expensive, but a lot is for sale as well on amazon.com. Also so products like Zaino have a German distributor, but they're really expensive.

Step 1:
First I’ll be cleansing the car over with plenty of water. Followed by a Z-7 wash from the top down, using a DF Concours towel. I’ll finish this step off by giving the car a nozzle free rinse, to push most of the water off the car. I’ll use a large DF Concours towel to dry off the car.

Step 2:
Claying the car with Z-18, using a Z-7/water solution. One quart of water & one cap-full of Z-7.

Step 3:
First I’ll be cleansing the car over with plenty of water. Then I’ll start off by washing the wheels with Z-7, using a brush, sponge & high-pressure washer. Then I’ll make a new bucket of Z-7 water, washing the car from the top down, using a DF Concours towel. Again I’ll run the nozzle free procedure and wipe it off with a large DFC towel.

Step 4:
Then I’ll mix some Z-5 with the ZFX accelerator, in one of the 2-ounce bottles included in the ZFX kit. Shakes the bottle intense for about 90 secs, and on to step 5.

Step 5:
Now I rub the Z-5 mix into my car using the Zaino applicator, and let it dry up for about 30-60 mins.

Step 6:
Then I’ll buff off the Z-5 with a clean DF Concours towel.

Step 7:
Spraying on Z-6 Gloss Enhancer and wipes it off with a clean DF Concours towel.

Step 8:
Doing step 5-7 again for another layer of the Z-5.

Step 9:
Same procedure as step 4-6, only using Z-2 instead of the Z-5.

Step 9:
Using Z-8 as a final touch, instead of the Z-6, giving that ultimate deep wet-look!


Step 4-9 can be done continuously, untill a satisfying result is reached.


NB: If swirls doesn’t disappear upon continuously going through these steps, the Z-PC Swirl Remover might have to be used. This should not be done unless needed, since it’s an abrasive compound that will actually wear down the paint little by little.
