talking about Zaino?

TwoEcho · 10-19-2009, 05:19 PM

I believe I read an earlier post in which you said temps were down where you are at. Cold weather could cause this...

JayDee · 10-19-2009, 05:21 PM

do i just have to wait longer?

JayDee · 10-19-2009, 05:42 PM

i really hope i didnt scratch the hell out of my car..

Snuggles · 10-19-2009, 05:56 PM

Did u use the accelerator in the Z-5?
How long has it sat for?
What is temps where u are at currently?

JayDee · 10-19-2009, 06:03 PM

I read if you apply to much Z5 you will play h@#%* getting it off, I'd suggest using the Z6 finish spray to clear the Z5 off and redo. Use with just a hint of product coming off applicator pad. I use one strip diagonally across pad per body panel. never a problem with it. HTH

only true way to tell is to check it in the sun or a halogen lamp

JayDee · 10-19-2009, 06:56 PM

now that i look at it in my garage...it looks like i mustve just missed a couple spots drying it when it was getting dark. thank god im off mondays and tuesdays.

Nexus6 · 10-19-2009, 08:24 PM

at temps around 54 degrees you probably have to let it sit all day.

ljustin293 · 10-19-2009, 08:28 PM

You can let it sit overnight and wipe it off in the morning, if it's inside it won't be a problem, the longer it can sit the better

Well, could be any of the following reasons;

1. You used too much
2. It hasn't dried completely
3. The temps. in our area are not too ideal for using Zaino right now. The drying time is almost doubled right now.

Did you use the ZFX?

If you're able to, you can let it sit on the car. I've let Zaino sit on my SS, overnight, with no problems.
