Zanio and clay bar
I began 13 months ago with Zanio on my new Mini. It has been great. My question is this. When do I need to use the claybar again? I have kept the car clean and treated, the finish is like glass and perfectly smooth to the touch. Is there any reason to claybar as I reapply next time or can I just wash and get to work? When do you need to claybar again?

You claybar when you feel that you need to... no need to claybar all the time. After 13 months, I'd bet that it's time, but maybe not. A lot depends on the weather, how you wash, how often you wash, storage conditions, etc.
Spray a bit of lube or water on the finish. Put your hand in a plastic bag (grocery bag works well) and pass over the finish. If you feel grit, claybar. If not, just layer on some more Zaino and enjoy your extra 45 minutes (or put on an extra coat  ) |

I always do a test and if I feel an improvement, then I clay. I probably "spot-clay" , maybe the horizontal surfaces or some areas that get abused a couple times a year or more.
