Default Remove dirt

Hi,

What is the best way to remove few dusts that had been covered with Zaino? Will Clay Bar do it? My 01’ Vette already had 1 coat of Z-1, 8 coats of Z-5 and 2 coats of Z-2 on it. I couldn’t remove them during the wash. However, I haven’t tried the Clay Bar yet!

Thanks! :confused:

Please say you are kidding. It sounds like you put wax on top of wax on top of wax, all without removing any. Tell me it isn't so.............. :cry

What do you mean by "remove few dusts" Are you talking about surface dust you get from driving, it can be removed with a California Car Duster.

Hi Kevin,

What I meant is that the car had couple little dot of dusts that I couldn’t remove while washing with Z-7. Looked like a thin layer of Z-5/Z-2 had covered them. I’m not sure how that’s possible cause I did remove Z-5/Z-2 and apply Z-6 in between them before applying another coats of Z-5/Z-2. What I’m saying is if nothing sticks them then why can’t they be removed? No, all the surface dusts came right off during the wash or with Z-6. It’s just these couple of spots that I can’t remove even if I apply a little pressure.

Thanks.

Ok, just try a clay bar on that area.
