When you mixed the ZFX with the Z5 and then with the Z2, how much polish did you put in the mixing bottle at a time?

Once you added the correct amount of ZFX (4-5 drops per ounce of polish) to the polish in the mixing bottle and shook it for the 90 seconds, did you let it sit for 5 minutes and then shake it again before using it?

I didn't have any issues with the ZFX-enabled Z5 and Z2 drying in under 30 minutes when I did my car a few weeks back. It was 95 degrees out and humid as hell that day too (I lost 3 pounds that day!).
At first I put 1 ounce of Z5 and 4 drops ZFX and mixed as per instructions. I only used about half of the mixture and was planning to do a second coat until it took so long to get the first coat off. For the Z2 coats, I was trying to go even thinner; so I mixed about a third of an ounce with 2 drops ZFX.

You're right - if it sets in less than 30 minutes in Houston, it should do same here. At this point I can only assume that my ZFX is not doing what it supposed to??? Oh, and I competely understand about the 3 lbs.
