Its about 75-85F in my garage, nice sunny day, and I want to apply Z-2 without ZFX. How long do you let it sit for? I really don't want to leave it overnight. 3-4 hours?

 

All my coats only take 10 to 15 to dry whether I used ZFX or not and this is in any weather, any time of the year, thin is key...............

 

ive been using zaino without zfx here in sunny so. cal and it only takes about 10 min to dry between quotes. as mentioned above thin coats is the key.

 

Thanks guys, BTW, that Z-PC is the BOMB!

 

how did the z-pc work out? did you use it to remove swirls? i have a black z and swirl is getting worse. im thinking about using z-pc and z-5.

 

Make sure you use the Z-PC with an orbital. Mine came out awesome.

Paint is cleaner, brighter and most importantly the abundance of swirls are gone,

 

What happens if you put a thick layer on of zaino on? Does it take longer to cure? I use about 1/2 oz to do my enitre Z and always have a little bit extra at the end. I just go over some areas that I may have missed! It's hard to tell where you've applied the Zaino when you put a really thin layer. Need some advice from the experts here! Thanks

 

Kevin is about the most knowledgeable person here when it comes to Zaino but in speaking to Sal about this many times, he said that it isn't just the "drying" process but the "curing" process that takes the extra time.

Again, I think you are confusing DRYING with CURING. Drying is the evaporation of the liquid portion of the polish as it sits on the paint. In warm weather this takes only 15-30 minutes as you said.

But curing or "bonding" if you will, is a CHEMICAL process that doesn't happen in those 15-30 minutes. It take 8-10 hours from what I have been told. This is the way I do it. Right or wrong, I don't know.
