Do I need paint cleanser?

Do I need a paint cleanser like Pinnacle`s before applying Zaino? I`m gonna use all of my 3M products with the polisher first, and then the Zaino. Would it be necessary to use PPCL w/ Zaino, and when do I apply it (before zaino, or before 3M)?

You should be fine without it. The only thing I would say you would need it for is if there are still some minor swirls or something. If you clay the car and polish it then you shouldn`t really need any other cleaners. Swirl reducers perhaps, but cleaners no.

Pinnacle Paint Cleaning Lotion is designed for a top coat of Pinnacle waxes. They are most definitely Carnauba based. Not needed, and may make the Zaino less durable.

Thanks, I guess I don`t need it.:up

You don`t need it. I would suggest a Dawn wash after you are finished using the 3M products. This will get rid of any residue that they may leave behind.
