Three coats of Zaino and very few things stick to it(including 80MPH bugs).

heh thanks silver for the tip =p. I washed it once but it needs it again for sure, i am really glad i did not get black now i could not keep up on washing it until i get a garage. So what all things should i buy from Zarnia or whatever? Has anyone used the clay bar?

Thanks

Clay is good, but it's not something you should have to do often if you keep a good layer of wax on it. (Remember, it strips the wax off too.) I've found the only time I really need to use clay is if I'm working on a car that's been seriously neglected, or a car that has overspray/fallout on it.

One other little tip on cleaning these awesome trucks. Wash the inside of the wheels every time and it really makes a difference on the overall appearance.

Question

Is Zaino really that good? Better than Meguiar's stuff? How hard is it to apply and take back off?

Thanks,

It's the easiest thing in the world to apply/remove and doesn't leave the white residue on the plastic/vinyl areas.

I was just messing around, that is what I do, I use Meguiar's but it rains or the truck gets dirty (bugs) some other way.

Actually I fighting, trying to clean the Grand Am (1999 Gt) I loan my freind for a few weeks. He washed it once, the bugs were impregnated in the wax (this car had 8 coats, on the hood and front facial, 4 on the rest of the car) I just stripped it with Dawn, and am still battling the bugs. Additionally the wheels are soooooo dirty.
