ZAINO QUESTIONS

(1) I know that you have to strip all the old wax,polish,etc off the car by using DAWN. This does not in any way damage the clear coat correct?
(2) After question number one is answered,then my order will be sent to ZAINO. I won't be able to do any of the cleaning,polishing,etc for a while. Can i still use the car wash,or should i wait till i get my car done?

Yep. Make sure you use a claybar too. Well worth the time. Get a Zaino or a Mothers claybar

Use what car wash? Dont wash your car with dawn or claybar it until you get Zaino. Until then, just keep washin your car as normal.

Personally, I would not take my car to any car wash at any time due to the harsh soaps and the toweling methods they use. You especially won't want to take your car to a car wash after the Zaino process is complete since the Z-7 Car Wash is a necessary step in preserving the Zaino shine and protection.

I am not sure, but if you are in a situation though where you don't have a place to hook up a hose and wash it by hand, you could buy a couple of buckets, some 100% cotton Viking wash mits (white), white 100% cotton "made in the USA" towels or an Absorber, and take it to a do-it-yourself car wash. I would only use the clear water (no soap) from the wand and mix you some Z-7 in a bucket and wash away.
