Zaino before clear bra? Z-PC?
I should be getting my car early next week and I want to do a clear bra on it. I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts about whether to Zaino the car before the bra is put on, or if it matters. I was planning to clay, Z5, and then Z2. I also have used Z-PC on my other car with a portercable. Do you guys think I should use the Z-PC on a brand new car? I thought about maybe using it before the Z5 and Z2, but do it by hand to get out any little swirling there may be. I'd love to hear some opinions on the ZPC and whether to do it before the clear bra.

I really don't think you'll need the ZPC. Your car is alpine white, one of the most forgiving colors you can get. I would wash the car with dawn, then clay bar the car, then use a couple coats of Z5 followed by the Z2. The clear bra installer will use some sort of cleaner to remove the zaino prior to your clear bra install, just give him/her a heads up that you zaino'd the whole car. I'm not a big ZPC fan, I prefer Menzerna products. If you feel you want to remove any swirls you might see (very hard to see on white) I would recommend the po106ff and a white pad using a flex or porter cable polisher. Honestly, I think you'll be happy with just hitting your new paint with the Z-5 then Z-2. I'm not sure what type of cut the ZPC has, but from my personal experience, I tried a section on my jet black paint, I had to go over the ZPC area with the po106ff to get rid of the micro marring..... of course you could only see this under halogen lights...but it was there. |
