Yup! And what I do is after I finish each area, I rinse off the truck to
remove the carwash.
2 things about your plan....
1. Don't forget to wash your truck with Dawn liquid detergent before
starting. This will remove any waxes on the paint.
2. If you are going to spread this out over multiple days, please rewash
before you start! You don't want to trap any dirt in the polish and damage
the paint. (that's why you are using the clay bar to begin with ;)
It really does not take long once the clay bar has been completed and rewash
the truck. By the time you apply the Z-1 Lock on the truck, you can start
applying the Z-2 or Z-5 (which ever you have). I would spend the time and do
the first coat in one day -- Z-1 and Z-2 or Z-5. The first time you remove
the Z-2 or Z-5 will take as much effort as any wax used before. However,
each subsequent coat will require less effort. Don't apply another coat
until after 24 hours also.
Have fun! I'm overdue for my next application too :(

So just some carwash mixed in a spray bottle, so I can keep spraying it as I
go along? I just wish I had a garage to do it in, gonna be a pain trying to
do all those coats, since I'll have to do it over several days, don't want
it sitting in the sun when I do it, so I figure a coat each evening after
the sun goes down.
