Default help.

Not sure if i am doing it right, i dawned the car, claybared the car now i am zaino ZFX+z2'ing the car i poured in z2 into the 2 ounce vial, poured in 9 drops, shook it up for like 3 minutes, applyed on my PPW, my cars so white i cant see any hazing and the stuff applys so thin its even harder to tell.

2 ounces barely did 1 full coat on my car at a super thin layer.

Is this normal?

you definitely applied it way too thick! it is hard to see the zaino on silverstone, so i'd imagine it's even harder to see it on ppw. but if you look at it at the right angle you can see it. you will probably have a tough time buffing this layer off. next layer you really need to try and apply it thinner.

Yeah. What he said. I get three coats including wheels from 1.5 oz. You need to use the force.

Ensure you apply in a up and down motion not circular. Like they said above your applying it way to thick.

When applying Zaino, put a few small drops on the applicator and that should cover an
area about 2ft square. After a while, because the applicator is already coated and damp with Zaino, you'll find it takes a very small amount to do another section.

As you have discovered, if you put it on too thick, it's a bi!ch to get off.

well 2 layers got put on today, the majority of the work was actual all the "prep" work meaning dawning it and claybaring it and drying it. cleaning between corners and cracks and all that stuff, the actualy polishing time was rather short.

tomorrow ill do 2 more layers and polish all chrome parts.

One thing i have learned my Pikes peak already was shiny since its new so i cant tell to much that zaino is on there. Secondly White does not reflect the same as some of the darker colors.
