Default Hey Carl..

When I break my baby out for the spring, I know I should start over again with the Z1. Do I do the Dawn wash and then start Z1, Z2, etc?
What is the correct procedure for a driver?
thanks :D

Cool plate on the car!!!!! :) Dawn will not remove Zaino, I would clay the car and then Z-1 and Z-2, you may have seen that ZFX is out now and when using that you do not need Z-1, but if I were you I would first you up what you have. Light claying will remove any dirt or contaminates allowing your polish to adhere better, and to produce a better shine. :)

Ok, so I should wash and then clay. Then Z1, Z2, etc. right? I'm about to order clay and ZFX from you. So then I mix ZFX with the Z2 right?
Thanks for the comment on the plate. Gets kind of tiresome explaining it to people who don't have a clue :lol:

You will not use Z-1 if your going to buy ZFX, you can either use up the Z-1 you have or just retire it. ;) Yes you will mix the polish Z-2,Z-3 or Z-5 in the supplied containers and add the proper amount of ZFX, 4 drops per oz., and shake. You get instructions with the ZFX. :)

Watch out, I may take you up on that :lol:
That might help, especially if the wife sees your Z06, maybe she might let me get one sooner than later :lol:
