Yes, you must take care of any paint issues before using zaino.

I'd agree about the clay-barring but it's certainly worth doing.

I've been using the Meguiars 3-step Crystal with good results. The Zaino is supposed to be even better?

Here's my 635 after using all 3 steps for Gaydon last year. I hadn't used a clay bar back then but I'm all for them now. Apart from the wings the paint is all original so after 17 years it isn't 100% perfect but still scrubs up well.

Which clay bars (other than Meguiars) are recommended?

I've used the 3 step system, it's ok but I can honestly say zaino blows it out the water, give it a try. Beautiful car btw, my paint is the same way, not perfect but she cleans up nicely.
