<<Zaino Z-18? ClayBar was designed to remove airborne contaminants, paint overspray, water spots, rail dust, industrial fallout, diesel fuel & catalytic converter residue and any other bonded surface contaminants from paint.>>Originally posted by: AsianriceX
You shouldn't have to use clay on a new car. The clay bar is used to remove very fine impurities that accumulate on your paint over time. It's to remove things such as pollution, brake dust, things of that sort. Seeing as you have a new car, it hasn't been exposed to such impurities and you should just wax it.
remember to wash the car with dish soap first
Nope, not Zaino. Zaino does not contain any cleaning agents (chemical or abrasive). Zaino Z-5 and Z-2 waxes are simply protective waxes.Dude don't do this. The wax has an agent to remove the former buildup if it is any good. Dish soap is not a good way to remove the wax it also screws your paint...

You can do alot of damage if not done correctly. I do not recommend it.

Thankfully, newuser seems to know what he is talking about. Not too many people on here knowledgeable about detailing. Dawn doesn't ruin your paint; it is a degreaser, and wax is a grease, so Dawn removes old wax. I still don't think you need to claybar a brand new car, but I haven't had a new car for 3 years so I can't say I have any experience with it. Run it over a few panels and if the clay bar is getting dirty, then it's working. If it isn't getting dirty, you're wasting your time. Simple as that!

Hardly. Claybar does not remove clear coat, or cause scratches if done right. All you need is to keep molding it and turning it, and use a good lubricant such as quick detailing spray or soap and water. Trust me, anyone can use a claybar.

Thats why I said "if it's not done correctly"
