Z16: Clay Barring & Stripes
I am about to give my z16 its first clay bar and Zaino treatment. Now don't freak out, she is still brand new in plastic with 23 miles.
My questions is: Do you clay bar and Zaino the stripes or will it cause damage?

Clay bar is so mild, I can't imagine that it would hurt anything. I'm not a Zaino user, but I would have to believe that it would be okay on the stripes, too. I'm sure one of the Zaino-aholics will chime in and verify. 
You have a brand new Z-16 with only 23 miles?
Where did you find that?

Where did you find that? I am making steps, I think the Z16 will be seeing the road shortly. It is time to let her stretch her legs.

Zaino won't hurt the stripes
Not sure about claybarring them, I imagine that would be ok as well

I don't mean to steal this thread, but does anyone know where I can just buy a clay bar. All the places I've found them they are always in a kit with the lubricant. All I want is the clay bar. Thanks

great tip! That would be a pain to find out afterwards.
