Just out of curiousity, why wouldn't a Z-7 wash after claying be enough? Although using Dawn once or twice a year on your car probably isn't going to harm the paint at all, I would think that the inital Dawn wash + claying (w/ Z-7 as a lube) removed any existing waxes. And considering the high-alkalinity content of Dawn, wouldn't it be better to use Z-7 after claying not only to help neutralize your clear-coat, but also to eliminate any chance of leaving behind any residue.....which Dawn has been known to do on occasion?

Carl,
OK thanks for the info!
It rained this morning in LA. Despite the fact that it's been several months since my last Zaino application, the car still beaded like a demon!

Re: Using Zaino (Pony Chic)
Hey there Pony Chic,
You seem to have gotten some good responses to your question about Zaino. I used Zaino for the first time two days ago. I took pictures of most of the process & have them posted at http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrow...selected=50277
Watch out if you're on a dial-up connection!

Re: Using Zaino (hcvone)
Thanks Carl,
I got 2 additional coats of Zaino on her today before I melted from the heat.
Can you send some rain down our way?

Re: Using Zaino (barkingowl)
It was near 90 here today and humid, it's suppose to get hotter the next few days, it has been cool at night at least, they lifted our water restrictions (I have wells so it did not apply to me) because of all the rain we have had. You will have to ask the Florida people to send you up some rain, they seem to have a lot at this time. ;)
