Josh, Saw you ordered your Zaino treatment in an earlier post.
Have you tried it out yet. Make sure you use clay bar first. I did mine first without using a claybar and did not like the feel. Finish was great, but could still feel contamination. Then redid using claybar first and wow, what a difference. A guy that rents a warehouse form me, sells pro finish products and showed me a neat trick using the plastic wrapper from a cigarette pack. Rub the paper on your truck before using the claybar, then claybar and wax. You won't beleive the difference. Just my $ .02 worth

 

Huh? can you explain that trick a little more?

Anyway, i ordered the zaino like 2 days ago. hopefully it'll get here for this weekend. Truck is 2 years old and never been clayed before, so its definately getting done. I ordered the Z clay bar. Paint isn't too bad, but still wanna do it.

here's what i'm gonna do:

dawn wash
claybar
z7 wash
~3 coats of z5 with zfx and z6 after each
~2 or 3 coats of z2 with zfx and z6 after each

I'll probably get all that done up to the z5 in one day hopefully, and do the coats of z2 the next day.

Only exception to this is i probably won't use the z5 on the hood (cuz it'll be fresh paint- gonna wait a while to even do it anyway, so its not getting done at all yet)
and i probably won't use the z5 on the tonneau either cuz i'm getting a replacement tonneau cover.

And i'll post pics when i'm done....LOTS of pics

I'm also gonna use the old hood as a test panel. 4 sections, one with liquid glass (what i used to use), one with zaino, one untreated, and another with klasse if anybody sends me a small amount to do that part with.
