Default Zaino question???

I just put my 6th coat of Zaino on my black Z .I was going to wait an hour and take it off but my question is ...If I waited till morning to take it off would this benefit the process any better or does it matter??

If you didn't use ZFX with it, you should definitely wait that long. I usually go 10-12 hours.

With the ZFX you can take it off in under an hour. You probably could leave it on overnight but it might be just a bit harder to take off with the ZFX.

I don't recommend leaving it on with the ZFX out in the sun since it tends to leave streaks. They can be fairly easily removed with Z-6 detail spray but you have to rub a bit.

I use about half of one of the small bottles Zaino sends you with the kit with about 5 drops of the zfx.

Those are two oz bottles. You should be able to do one layer with 0.5 to 0.75 of an ounce.

To answer your original question, with the ZFX, you CAN leave it on overnight but it isn't necessary. You may have a little more trouble getting it off than if you took it off right away. If it leaves any streaks, these can be taken out with a Z-6 misting.

I wouldn't leave it out in the sun with the ZFX since that will tend to leave the streaks also. On a light colored car, not a big deal but on the dark, you can see them.

I took it off the same night, and after being on for about 2.5 hours it was a little harder to remove.Im glad I didnt wait till morning.
