I still like to do a Dawn wash just before putting on additional coats of Zaino (to make sure I strip off any road oils) but a quality auto shampoo should do just fine.

The first Dawn wash is to remove any previous wax-based products that you or the dealer used on your paintwork.

Congrats on your budding steps into auto detailing. With any abrasive material, remember to start with the LEAST abrasive material... rub a bit (5 seconds w/ medium pressure)... clear it away... examine carefully. If 2 or 3 rounds of this doesn't fix your problem, you can then move to something slightly more abrasive.
