Default Taking delivery of '02 Amulet A4 Avant: How to prep for Zaino?

Thanks for the help. I'm excited about giving my new baby the Zaino treatment and I've been using Zaino for a couple years on my '00 A4 and '90 Miata so I know the basic routine. However, I'm not sure what I should do to prep the paint. I was thinking of maybe just washing once or twice with Dawn and starting from there. I didn't plan on claying first and I question whether it would be necessary. I want to clean the paint in the least abrasive manner possible before applying Zaino. What do you guys recommend???

Default Even a new car can pick up rail dust and other contaminents during shipping-->

so you might have to clay even if new. If you stretch a piece of Saran Wrap type material over your finger and feel the paint (after washing with Dawn) you can tell if you need to use the clay--you will be able to feel the roughness if it is there.
