What is the best/safest product to strip waxes to start with a clean surface? (not sure about the dawn thing)."

The Collinite will probably bond to the BF just fine, although the BF does seem to be mighty rich in oils. I don't think I'd bother stripping it unless there was some kind of problem But I would just apply the Collinite straight, with not "spit", for the first application.

To strip you could either do the Dawn thing, or use some super-shampoo like AutoInt's "A" (with either of these I'd do it after a regular wash), or go over it with a paint cleaner or mild polish. I myself wouldn't do any of those things until the car needed a full detail, but that's just me. For that matter *I* wouldn't mess with the BF until it needed redone either.

also, what would be a good wash for this combo, i currently have blackfire gloss shampoo and conditioner(works well with bf stuff), as well as megs gold class (havent tried).

Any good shampoo oughta work fine. I found the BF shampoo mighty harsh, didn't like it even when I was using BF on the S8, and GC didn't really impress me either (though it's not *bad* stuff)...I just use Griot's Car Wash every time no matter which LSP I'm using. An OTC alternative would be DuraGloss.

Sorry, can't help with any Zaino Qs.
