can someone tell me how to use the claybar in detail..........is it safe for bumpers and mirrors?..........do i use it first or wash with dawn first?.............anything else will help as well

 

Hi

Actually the claybar comes with great instructions . . .but here goes the short version

oh, Ill assume you are doing this prior to your first Zaino application?

-dawn wash the car
-dry the car
-mix a few caps of zaino wash and water into a spray bottle for lube (fill it up)
-move car out of the sun
-start at the top and work your way down
-take one of the two bars in the jar, tear half of one off
-spray ube generously in area to start
-work clay back and forth within that area
-use light pressure (just enough to not drop it)
-you will feel a click when it encounters something (sometimes not)
-work it lightly back and forth till the click is gone
-whatever it was is now on the bar
-keep working your way (well lubed) across the car
-never work outside the lubed (wet) area
- work from top to bottom of car (lube runs downhill )
-as you finish an area, look at clay, if spotty, turn it inside out to expose a clean surface (even if you dont feel the clicks do this - cause you wont feel everything as it picks it up)
- when you cant expose a clean area - get another piece
- i use an piece large enough for 2 fingers to apply the pressure
- lay a towel on the ground (a crappy one) below where you are working in case you drop it
- if clay hits the ground, toss it and get another piece
- when done - wash the car and dry it

Now, you are ready - to do whatever it is you are going to apply next

if zaino - a quick Z6 spray is in order - then your first layer of the Z1 or ZFX mixed top polish (z2/z5)

as a side note - i can do my entire car (SSEi) with one of the two bars in the container . . . unless i have been bad and ignored her for too many months and there is lots of crap stuck on it from driving . . .

Hope that helps.

if you want more info - www.zainobros.com has a tips section, and if you email me at dennis@mossmans.com I would send you a modified version i have done for my customers that covers things a bit differently . . . .

regards

Dennis

 

thanks for the help

 

The man knows his shit!!!!!

 

Question - you do the Z6 spray right after claybar-ing?
Then the ZFX mixed polish?

I thought you Z7'd the car after claybar-ing?

 

You should mix up some more Z-7 to remove any clay-bar residue, then dry. I think he was talking about after drying the car and before starting the ZFX, to use the Z-6.

 

yup - thats exactly what i was saying . . .. Ill insert the (Z7) in the "wash then dry" line at the end - and before using Z6

thank you for the input - Im still working on expanding my user guide - and want to make it as helpful and accurate as possible

 

Your user guide is great Homer2!

And with so many users of Zaoino on here, it's like a great big help forum!

 

tks
ok - now - change ure sig line !

 

I clayed my car last week. It works great. The car is sooooooo smooth. ZFX w/Z5 is easy to use. It hazes in 15 minutes and you can do multiple coats in 1 day.
