    If the surface feels rough, I`d definately clay the truck.



    Your product list looks good. The only substitution I`d make would be to use foam apps (I like the ones from Viking) instead of microfiber; you`ll get much thinner, more even coats from foam. They are easier to use, too.

    I second the clay suggestion.



    Also, are you sure you are supposed to use "VINEGAR" to remove Zaino? I am not a Z user, but all instances I have seen used denatured alcohol, or an SMR to remove Z.

    My suggestion would be :

    clay

    SMR

    Z7 wash

    Z as much as you like



    But no vinegar : that`s an acid:scared

    You could use rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol ,

    but

    SMR will have got rid of the Z
