Yup, that was my plan, first day - wash with dawn, clay bar, Z-1 Polish Lok
and first coat of Z-5. Then the next day another coat of Z-5, third day a
third coat of Z-5, then probably 4-5 coats of Z-2 on following days. This
will be so much easier when I get my house and have a garage, cause as it is
right now I'll be hitting the local do it yourself carwash everyday before
putting on my next coat, ppl are gonna think I'm nuts LOL But it'll be
worth it. I saw a few Zaino'd Daks at the Nats, they were gorgeous, not a
single swirl, and they were 99's.
