just wondering. about to do the whole zaino package this week, and wondering if any body knows if its ok to clay bar the rally stripes, before using the polish?

hmmm..don't take my word for it...

but the clay bar is non-abrasive...so I don't see how it could hurt..just be careful along the edges

I have white stripes, but I would like to know the same.

I was under the impression that the clay bar was used to remove impurities from painted, cleared surfaces.

I did the whole Zaino process but DID NOT clay bar the stripes. Ive used the Z-2 and Z-5 on the stripes with no problems jsut didnt want to take any chances with the bar.

Just my .02
