claying?????
I just ordered the zaino and was wondering what to do with the clay. I know this is a silly question but I guess that I am stupid. :)

Re: claying????? (medic007)
First, place newspapers or old towels or a dropcloth around the car where you are claying. If you were to drop the bar on cement or asphalt, you will have to throw it out because of grit and dirt that would have stuck to the bar. If you have newspapers or towels on the ground, you can usually keep going. Mix up a lube of 1 to 2 capfuls of Z-7 to 16 to 24 oz of water. Spray that on the surface liberally and often. Cup the claybar in your hand and let the weight of the claybar do the work. Use very light pressure. Go back and forth. Keep spraying the area to be clayed. Go over each area until the clay glides with no effort. Keep looking at the claybar. If it's getting black, fold it over and pull to original shape. Keep folding so you always have a clean side. Just don't keep turning the bar over. Using the claybar is the most time-consuming part of the Zaino process. I clay once a year. After using the claybar, wash the car with Z-7 to get rid of any clay residue.
