no need to remove your zaino before claying...
the polish will remove just about anything on your paint-
and so will clay.
polish will remove it all, and clay will likely remove most of it.
after either step you should rezaino the car-

I thought the same thing. According to some Autopians, Sal Zaino told them it will remove a portion of Zaino but not all.

Of course, they are talking clay. Polishing is a different story. If it can remove some of your clear coat, you can bet there's no Zaino left.

Thanks for the help. Another question about the clay bar - will Z-18 remove carnauba wax?
