Hi guys
I have been a lurker here for a while. I have my claymagic and my zaino products. Will detail this weekend. I am trying to make sure I have enough "shade" time to do all of this. Might anyone comment on how long it should take for me to clay my little car?
Thanks!
Elise

Hey Elise, Welcome! Looks like you have some nice products on your shelf. If I may ask what color is your Z4? The reason I ask is because white cars for me usually take longer to clay because of the orange speckles of brake dust. If I were to estimate, I would bet it will only take you 30-40 minutes tops.
Take the back of your hand and feel your paint, you`ll easily be able to tell how contaminated it is if you feel lot of roughness.
Your areas which will need the most attention will probably be your front bumper-hood-lower panels. Hope this helps you a little! Good luck!

...I would bet it will only take you 30-40 minutes tops....Yeah, 30 minutes to clay and 10 minutes to feel the paint and go "ooooooooh, Ahhhhhhh...." ;)
Have fun, Elise! And :welcome to Autopia!
