Quick Zaino questions...Check my steps.

[bobbyg123]

Hi everyone,



I just ordered the PC/Sonus package from Autopia thanks to all of the great advice on this site. I plan on gaining experience on my wifes car, a 2001 white Nissan Maxima. It`s got 80K miles on it and has never been machine polished. There are numerous scratches/swirls due to the fact that my wife took it to drive through car washes. Despite that, there aren`t any (what I consider to be) deep scratches or blemishes.



When I get my PC kit, I plan on doing the following:



1) Wash with Dawn

2) Clay

3) re-wash

4) PC with SFX-2 (unsure of what pad to use?) Orange maybe?



Once this is completed I want to apply Zaino to seal everything. My question is, will Zaino bond to the surface if it`s been treated with SFX-2? I assume it will since the surface will be perfectly clean at that point. I hope I don`t need to wash it a 3rd time! Last question: I`ll probably apply the Zaino Z2 by hand (unless you think I should use the PC) but I`m wondering if you guys use the PC with a buffing bonnet on low speed to remove the zaino?



Thanks for your help in advance. I`m excited to FINALLY get my PC in the mail, and I`m thankful that I can use my wifes car as a sacrificial lamb. :chuckle:

I`d skip #3, instead wash after you use you Sonus compounds. No need to wash after clay and before polish. You can use a bonnet, but most people just use Zaino by hand.
