Preparation is key, once you Dawn wash, make sure you clay to remove surface contaminants. Use Z5 Pro with ZFX and you can easily do 3 layered coats. Z5 Pro will give your black real pop. Z5 works well on dark colors and Z2 works better with lighter colors, that seems to be the opinions I have read and my own experience. I use Z5 on my 06 Flint Mica GS.
and another tip wash twicae wax once you want the cars paint to be optamilly perfect before applying a polymer wax for the best results and to answer your question your 07 has clearcoat

Ok folks..
Used Zaino on the car this weekend.
The whole process took like 5 hours, but we were BBQ'ing and drinking beers during it so it was actually pretty fun. Not sure if I'd want to do it very often but I will probably do it 3 or 4 times per summer.
In an incredibly weird coincedence, I mentioned this to my father in law who turns out to be Sal Zaino's first cousin. Apparently he's a millionair from it. Such a small world... I'll probably have tons of free Zaino coming to my house soon. They are very close cousins. So awesome.
Here's some pics... the stuff really makes your car look like a mirror. First time user here and I think it came out pretty damn good.

All in all, I highly recommend it

i love zaino, nice thing about it is if you use thier detailer spray it bonds with the other stuff, so its sort of like a booster. I reapply a coat every 2 monthes or so, looks awesome......
