Default Prepping prior to Zaino application

I'm a first time user of Zaino's products and hoping to get a few coats on in the next couple of days, but do have some questions.

I've already washed with Dawn, used the clay bar, and washed and dried with the Z7 carwash. But due to rain and high humidity, I won't be able to apply the Z5/Z2 for a couple of days. Luckily I can keep my car in the garage and not drive it for a couple of days, but that leads me to a couple of questions...

1) How much reprepping will I need to do? I'm sure it'll pick up some dust while sitting, is going over it with a California Duster and some Z6 enough prior to the Z5/Z2?

2) I've already found a couple of water spots and such that need to be touched up prior to the Z5/Z2 application, should I use some very dilute Z7 Carwash or Z6 and a towel to touch up the soiled spots?

Thanks in advance!
HD.

Oh, I have a '06 Redfire Mustang GT

Default RE: Prepping prior to Zaino application

Since you already preped it I would just wash it with water if it's not that dirty. Z-7 car wash has a small amout of polish in it so I would try just water. Did you get the ZFX additive? With that it drys so much faster and I am able to do 3 coates in a day. I'll usually do one coat of Z-5 and 2 coates of Z-2. Good luck and I'm sure you'll be happy with the results, Zaino is the best product I've used and the only one for a long time.
