I am not a big fan of this....I use a 'waffer' Microfiber drying towel. A good trick is, if you have a semi nice beading action now, is after you rinse your car and before you get ready to dry. Use a method some refer to call 'wet dry' What you do is take off any nozel on your hose and turn your hose down so it is not full blast. Then run the hose over your whole car starting at the top. IF your car is fairly decent paint condition the water will all gather together and run off leaving little to no water on your car. You will know what I am talking about when you do it. Then proceed to dry with the microfiber with no effort at all. Should take less than 10 minutes to dry your car with the towel. This also reduces the friction from the towel to your car. Just my .02 
Other than that, the rest of your procedure looks flawless Havent used Z6 yet so no comment.
Another good sourse for these type of questions is over at Fordcontour.org . There is a section there call Wash and Wax run by a guy call DetailingDude. He really knows his stuff and has a couple of detailing guides there I highly recommend reading.
