Attn: AlBoston!! Got my Zaino!!!!!! :D
Hey Al!
I'll be wasing my car within next couple of weeks. Just really busy right now. Talked to W420 and he said that i won't be needing the Z18 since the paint is still pretty much brand new and that i only drive this car during weekeneds. So i'll just be using the following.
Zfx (2 coats for starters)
Z2
Z6
Z7
Eagle One for the tires.

sounds good dude! However I would still reccommend claying it, but if you really want to skip it its ur call. The paint will feel smoother and slicker if u clay the car first. Also i think it makes the Zaino go on a little easier.

First time i've seen the Z18 clay bar and it looked pretty small. Almost looks like an eraser that you apply. Anyways i might do it but since the paint is still pretty brand new i'll skip it this time.

Just do it ©Over the last few months your paint has made a dust crust already, even if you con't drive it often.
It is about time you get off your butt and start working on your car yourself

god, you *****
but it is still needed, i suggest not getting z-18, go to autozone, and get clay magic blue bar, it is better, and it only costs 10 bucks, it also comes with its own lube, but you should throw that away, and mix 16 ozs of water with a half capful of z-7 wash, that will work better. also cut your bar into 4, so if you drop one piece, you can throw that away, and still use 3 more, but dont reuse a fallen piece of the bar

What i'm lost here?! So get the Clay Magic Blue Bar right? And then mix 16ozs of water? Wtf?! Youre' talking about 2 different things here right? Anyways here's what i'm going to be doing.
1. Mix a bucket of Dawn dish washing liquid to water and do the car wash thingy.
2. After doing the car wash start applying the clay bar no pressure needed.
3. In another bucket with water mix prolly 1 or 2 caps of the Z7.
4. Start washing it again.
5. After washing then dry it.
6. Mix i think 1 or 2 drops of the Zfx with the Z2 with the provided container.
7. Apply mixture to car.
8. Then clean with a 100% cotton cloth.
9. Repeat procedure 2x or more times depending on how lazy i am! LOL!!!!!!!!
Then i'll have a brand new car again! Yoohooo!!!!!!!
So can i be a Zaino Moderator now?!
