I started the entire Zaino process last weekend, but have two questions.

1. Since I did not have a lot of time on one day, I only mixed 1 oz of the Z-5 and ZFX. I applied 3 coats (Z-6 in between) to the hood and then 1 coat to the rest of the truck. After I finished I probably had roughly 40% of left. Did I not use enough?

2. Last night I used the Z-6 to detail. I sprayed a small amount on the left rear and wiped with the cloth. For some reason, it would not dry, all it did was basically move around. I let is stand for a oment and then wiped, but the same thing. I got a new cloth, 100% cotton (Made in USA) and wiped again, with no luck. Any ideas as to why this would happen? I have not applied any other type of wax, detailer, etc.. to the truck.

P.S.: I do love the shine and I am going to change to the Z-2 now that the swirls are gone.

 

You only had 40% of the Z5 left after 3 coats?
I'd say you're spreading it to thick... spread it so thin that you think it's too thin.

 

Just mist a small amount on an area and use 100% Cotton towel (I use a huge bath towel) and wipe the Z-6 off over a large area. It is meant to spread a little but it does come off/dry easily. Z-6 will not just wipe off, use the towel like a chamoise.

I use 2 towels,,one to spread it on and the other to wipe it off,,works great..

 

sounds like you used way to much!! i only use about half a squirt on each panel (hood, door quarter....etc.)

 

Man, the way you are all talking, I need to get an eye dropper and a thimble to mix everything in!

I will back off a little bit on what I use. Thanks for the input
