New Paint Questions

The 2003 that I ordered will be here in about 3 weeks. Since this truck is being built and delivered, I am guessing that the paint won't be more than a week or two old when I take delivery. How long should I wait to Zaino the truck. What prep should I use. I mean do I need to clay bar a new truck, any other cleaners, or just Liquid Ajax and then Zaino?

"Liquid Ajax" Holy sh*t!!!! Never seen that but would never use it either. I am sure Intel will be by to make recommendations of how long and what is needed.

Yes you should clay a new truck it may have crap embeded into the paint from what ever mode they use to get it to the dealer, be it by train or truck.

Clay is only necessary if your paint surface feels rough. The rough feeling is an indication of 'stuck on' surficial contamination that wasn't removed by a simple washing/drying.
