I did the clay bar first, but in retrospect I wouldn't have bothered since the bike was new; I don't think the claybar made much of a difference since there wasn't a lot of "stuff" (old wax etc.) on the finish. I would just wash with Dawn if I was doing it all over again. There's just two coats of Zaino on - the bike was so clean to begin with that it seemed enough. I could spot a difference but not a huge one - again, the finish was brand new to begin with - but I've noticed the difference since then, since washing the bike is a lot easier; dirt just slides off, and water beads up nicely.shortBoarder - Beautiful bike! Wish you would have pushed it back into the sun a bit though. The '05 LE really shines in the sun. As for the Zaino - did you go through the claybar process first? How many coats do you have on it?
real soon. gonna take a valium and drill the fairings....When are you putting the frame sliders on?
