They also say as a rule to not Dawn wash the paint except for the first time before using their product. Im trying to get lots of layers of Zaino Z-5 and Z-2 Pro on all my vehicles, and can definitely see and feel a difference after the last 6 coats I did. Its really shiny with just 1 coat but the more you use the better it gets. I use the claybar about 2 times a year and follow afterward with Z-6 spray, and Z-5 on the dark colors and Z-2 on the lighter. I just did the Lightning, poured out 1/2 oz of Z-5 with 3 drops of ZFX catylyst, and had more than enough to do 3 coats on the Lightning and 2 coats on the wheels, could have done another coat on the wheels, but I got tired. For a claybar spray, Zaino says to use a few drops of their carwash and water, but any Detail Spray works fine. The lube in Claymagic works good, but I prefer to use Meguiars Spray Detailer. Plain water is not slippery enough to me. A magazine tested all the waxes, polishes, etc., out there and found that Zaino lasted longest. Hope this helps. DanF
