Default First time to zaino

This is my first post and I would like to thank everyone in advance. I just purchased a silverstone MY05 on wednesday and was wondering how soon I should zaino. I did a search and did not come up with much, a friend of mine said I should wait awhile to let the paint cure. Any thoughts?

no need for the factory paint to cure - you can add Zaino now

Your car is at least a few months old. The paint is ready for Zaino.

Thanks for the prompt replies. I will definitely post pics once I zaino it. Oh yeah, any advice on maintaining the soft top, wash regularly?

Okay guys, sorry for being a newb but this will be my last question about this. I noticed there was still some residue from the plastic on the paint. If I cannot remove this by normal washing, it will be okay to clay the car right? I have clay'd and zaino'd cars before but I just want to be extra cautious with a brand new car. Thanks again.

1. this does not have to be your last question, and i hope it isnt!!
2.yes, o.k. to clay a new car- just be careful... make sure to use new clay, turn it into itself periodically and if you drop it- trash it! (cut the clay into at least a couple of pieces)
