Just got my 911 Turbo and the fun has begun! I cleaned all the cosmolene off the engine this morning (what a pain). My car smells like a big orange now...



I used P21S GEPC this afternoon to clean the paint and am

preparing to Zaino tomorrow with Z2 w/ZFX. Do I need to

Dawn wash before I do this? I`ve always heard that Z needs

a perfectly clean (dawned) car to start with.



Earlier advice on this column was to use the GEPC and clay

if necessary (it`s not).



Interesting time at the dealer when picking the car up, I was

allowed to be with the car the entire time. Had them use my

wash mitt and my P21S soap. The detail guy used an air hose

and a new MF cloth to dry the car. He also used some sort of

quick detail spray. Very knowledgeable detail manager and

careful techs. The manager even gave me two MF towels once

he found out I was a detailing enthusiast.

Dawn is fine but pretty much any ol shampoo will do. You just need to remove the oils from the polish and most anything can do that.



Post some pics when you are done.
