I think the sooner the better!

Don't forget to do the leather too...and some spray protectant for the floor mats.

If you go Zaino I would:

1) Wash with Z7 (you don't need to clay or do the DAWN wash)
2) A few coats (1-3) of Z2- you don't need the Z5 because you should not have any swirl marks
3) Maybe use the Z6 between the coats of Z2

Good luck!

All super advice. That is why I will continue to monitor this forum.

Where should I buy Zaino?

One more thought.

Get those beautiful Carrera Classics cleaned-up (may need wheel cleaner the first time) and covered with a couple coats of wax. Then all you need is soap (Z7) and water to keep em looking good. Wax the red calipers too.

I don't even use wheel cleaner anymore. The dirt just rolls off with soap and water after a few coats of wax (I am using the HighTech ZX or FX something from Mequires). The wheel cleaners strip off the wax! Once a month I re-wax the wheels.

Here is a short impression of my Boxster vs my Cayman:

The Cayman is definitely more powerful but not extemely so. However, it seems to handle better. It hugs better and just feels more substantial. I'm still in break-in...so haven't really put it through its paces.

The sound is awesome. It just growls and vibrates more than the Box. I love the sound!!!

I get more stares, comments and waves when I drive around town. It is a little more fun to drive the Cayman because people notice it more. I have a lot of people lower their window at a light and comment. I've had people come to my door because they saw the Cayman in the driveway and want to check it out. I know this is hubris....but still fun!!
