Actually it does not require much elbow grease. The clay will clean the finish up real nice and then the polishes will come off very easy
MAKE SURE YOU USE VERY LIGHT COATS OR IT WILL LOOK LIKE **** AND BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE

one tip to save you some of the elbow strain is to use a microfiber cloth for waxing. It works great and will last you the entire car. using Terry cloth towels will accumulate wax and work against you as you make progress.

Re: (IntEGNYC)
I can vouch for that, I've never been able to remove wax so easily as I can w/ microfiber towels, I love em.
But if I got a whole kit like that, no way I would use it without a random orbital power buffer, and I would use it to both apply and remove polish and wax. I'm sick of spending an entire day morning to night just to polish and wax my car.

Zaino is good stuff. Your car looks like its in great shape even though it hasn't been waxed in two years. Zaino recommends using Dawn soap on the first wash to really prep the finish beforehand. After that I would use that Zaino soap everytime you wash the car. Have fun with it and post pics when you are done
