Getting ready to give my truck it's first Zaino experience this week and I have a question? When I'm prepairing my truck for Zaino do I wash it with Dawn, dry it off, apply the clay bar and wash it with the wash that Zaino supplied me? When using the clay bar I use Zaino Wash as a lubricant correct?

 

 

Thanks! :jester:

Wash with Dawn, dry, mix one capful of Zaino Z-7 Car Wash to 16 ozs of water for your clay lube in a spray bottle, spray the truck and use a lot of lube, after claying rewash with either Dawn or Zaino Z-7 Car Wash, dry, and you are ready to apply your Zaino. :sigh:

I just used Zaino for the first time this weekend. The instuctions said it didn't matter about doing it in the sun, so thats where I did it at. No problems. I was skeptical at first with this "primer" Z-1 and then a follow up of the Z-2. To be honest, felt like I was wasting my time because it is tough to see where you have been... my TB is white... however, and this is the good part, no white haze on the trim! :sigh: I think you could actually use it on the trim without problem... thats my plan next time.

 

I used Dawn, used Bug and Tar remover where I had to, rewashed those areas and dried it. Then did the "wax". I didn't buy the claybar initially, but I think I will when the car needs a deep cleaning. I can't wait to see how it holds up.

I had a C5 Corvette and I only touched it with Zaino. I used the complete system including the swirl mark remover and show car finish 2x a year. It is apain to apply, 5 coats of each - however, it turns heads!

Sun or shade it does not matter, I like doing it in the garage so the surface gets nothing on it

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
