Default Zaino users: Any advise?

Tommrow (as long as the weather holds out) I will be doing my first Zaino detail job (C6 Z06). I've done a lot of research on it, but I was just wondering if anyone could give me some last minute advise. I want it to turn out very good so the owner will be happy (and hopefully I can get another job detailing his GTR too).

Any tips/tricks? Or anything I should be aware of? I mainly use Mothers/Meguiars products. But I do use some of the ICE products too (car washing soap & detailer spray).

I will make sure to take some pics too.

Thanks,
- Mike

For best results wash, clay, and use a PC with ZPC to remove swirls. Zaino has a tips and tricks page on their website.

The thinner, the better. All their products are very concentrated.

Yeah, I printed out all the different products in the kit he got (its the one for like $116).

Thanks for the advise guys!

----------------------------------------

Also, I was reading that Zaino's claybar doesnt come with any kind of applicator spray. I have the mothers Claybar already. Would I be able to use the spray that came with the mothers claybar for the zaino claybar?

Thanks,

That spray should work just fine.

The spray is really just a lubricant for the clay to slide on. It'll work fine.
