hpfiend Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hey guys- Used Zaino this weekend for the first time on my car. It was a faith effort as most times I could not see it going on or coming off. I washed the whole car with Z7, claybarred with Z-18, rewashed with Z7, and then added 5 drops ZFX to 1 oz of Z-2, added it as best I could with the cotton applicator pad- ended up using about 0.5 to 0.75 oz for the whole car, then waited 30 minutes and took it off with a 100% cotton towel again not seeing much come off. The car does look good and feel smooth but I think it would be better if I knew where I was putting it or taking it off. My car is quicksilver btw which is very reflective. Do you guys use overhead lighting or something to see it? I did it in my driveway (shaded) but I could pull it in the garage next time with a spot light. I am going to z6 the car this weekend and try another coat of Z-2/ZFX or just Z-2 alone. I drive it every day about 20 miles round trip. Thanks!

AudiOn19s Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Actually this is a sign that you're using it correctly. The coats of Zaino should be soo light that on cars that are silver or white you really need to be in a darker garage with it being light outside to get a good idea of the haze on the surface of the car to see where you're working. IF you go too heavy with the Zaino it can streak and be a bit finiky...so what you're doing is correct..keep it up. Get about 3 solid coats on there and you should be good to go.

hpfiend Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks Andy! I hoped I wasn't the only one to have this trouble ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Just Z6'd everything but the lower rockers and bottom of quarters/rear valence... I thought it was too dirty to use Z6 there as it may scratch the paint? Do you guys use it when those areas are dirty from a week of driving? I plan on leaving those until the next full wash maybe next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
