We are finally going to be in the 60's here this weekend and I am thinking about what I want to do. That got me wondering how many have put that first coat of Zano on this year?

I have three cars to do now. How many beers will that take?

Been there ... done that. And I didn't have a fancy schmacy dohicky to turn the car over. I did it the redneck way... on my back. LOL You probably don't want to know that I re-undercoated (Body Schutz) my car when I was all done.

Think I should wheel out the vette or just clay bar it before it gets zano'd?

Just go for a long drive and call it a day. That's what I'd do if I weren't stuck here in my office.

I havent put a coat of Zaino on mine for a couple of years. I just wipe it down with the spray. It is still nice and shiny. But I think I will be clay baring it and a few coats in a few weeks, though. There are a few car shows coming up.
