Going to Zaino this weekend

Going to give it the treatment this weekend. I'll be starting off with Z-5Pro w/ ZFX followed by Z-2Pro w/ ZFX and top it of with a coat of CS ... Should look good .. I'll post pictures when I am done ..

I'd start off with a great cleaning with Liquid Dawn, then claybar, then wash with Zaino Carwash then their polishing steps. Our new ONEs come really needing the claybarring.

I bought some zaino last week but I didn't order an AIO. It's coming in the mail but do I really need AIO as foundation?

No you dont need the AIO. On a new car you dont even need the Z5 IMO.

Alternate Z2 and Z6 finish up with ZCS, Z6, and Z8 if you like.

You should only need a good wash, and a good wax. maybe 2 coats of a good wax. If a new car is need of all that I'm missing something.

Agreed, however, the Oxnard VPC appears to regularly scratch the paint. Is BMW USA aware? Does BMW USA even care? I don't know.

So should ask for little prep? Or hell should I ask them to do nothing and let me do it? Is it just fall-out on the paint?
