clearcoat or no clearcoat?
i'm looking to purchase the clay bar and wax/polish from zaino. my buddy uses zaino products on his 2001 z06. better than showroom.
my problem is i don't know if my 1993 LS400 comes with a clearcoat. it's the pearl white with silver trim. i read someone's testimonial that they use the one for regular paint (ie. no clearcoat) even though he has a clearcoat because it helps protect better. does that sound like a good idea?
thanks,
don

From the Zaino website;
It won't likely *hurt* the clear, but I'd call or email Sal Zaino just to be sure, he would tell you why it wouldn't work as well. (I'm assuming that's the case anyway).
Z-3 contains the same basic formula as Z-2 Show Car Polish, but also includes a custom blend of emulsifiers to gently clean, condition and maintain regular paints, which tend to oxidize, shrink and lose their resiliency quicker. Z-3 contains special filling agents for fine scratches, buffing and swirl marks and a flex agent that is compatible with single stage urethanes, lacquers, enamels, lucite, Imron, acrylics and older paint formulations
