though its recommend to use Z-2 PRO as less as possible - "less is better" said on its webiste, i still feel like its impossible to wax a Z with only ONE oz of Z-2 PRO.

okay, normally, i just use about 1 oz Z-2 PRO mixed with 4 drops of ZFX in a mixing bottle, and then put the mixed Z-2 PRO drop by drop on an applicator pad evenly, and then begin to rub.

but from what i saw, only 1 oz Z-2 PRO could not make a "visual" thin coat on the whole car.

then i tried another way to use Z-2 PRO. DO NOT put it on a pad drop by drop, instead, using Z-2 PRO as the way like girls use their lotion - put it on the hand, and rub the hands, then use your hands as a pad to get the whole car coated by Z-2 PRO. AFTER that, use a cotton pad to rub on the car.

...yeh...its stupid...so, come to teach me again to use Z-2 PRO...im lost!

 

lol. that's LOVE!!!

 

try misting the pad with z6 so that the pad is slightly damp. this should help the z2 spread itself across your car. A typical layer should only take 1/4 oz.

 

danzzz,

Having a Silverstone probably doesn't help matters either. It's a great color because it doesn't show dirt but it doesn't show much of anything else on it either. You've got to get past the ingrained belief that you have to see something on the surface for it to be there and working. Even with my Daytona Blue, the light has to be hitting it just right to see the hazing from the Zaino.

As cyphr pointed out, spritz the applicator with some Z-6 to start and then fold the applicator in half so the wet face touches it self and hold it for a few seconds. Now spread a thin line of Z-2 in a Z pattern on the applicator. The amount is maybe 3 to 5 drops worth. Do the fold-in-half trick again to help spread the Z-2 around then start applying it to the surface of your car. After a couple of sections, the face of the applicator will be fairly damp and you won't need to do the fold-in-half trick.

 

Exactly!!!!

 

I don't like misting the pad with Z-6 anymore. Since Z-6 dried on the paint is a bad thing that leaves weird streaks and spots, I found it is better to just get the applicator damp with water... that seems to work well.

I know I've seen Dr. Bonz post the same advice; despite Zaino's instructions to use a misting of Z-6 I reccommend against it.

I'd say 1/4 oz - 1/3 oz is about right.

I fill the bottle with 1/3 oz, because some of it sticks to the inside of the bottle. So in reality you are only using like 1/4 oz if you fill it with ~1/3 oz.

Also, don't use too much ZFX, it will make application more difficult.

 

Dr. Bonz instructions say dampen the pad with water then put Z2 or Z5 on it. That helps it spread better and easier. I first dampen the pad with a few drops of water and work it into the pad with my fingers. Then I put a few drops of Z2 or Z5 on the pad and then I spread it out on the pad with my finger so that the pad is evenly covered. I then apply it to the car in one direction. You should be able to do the entire roof with one application of a few drops of Z2 or Z5 to the pad. I haven't used Zaino very long, in fact I just started using it, but I have been using Klasse polish for the last three years and you apply it the same way. I was able to apply three layers of Z2 on my car with one ounce of polish and two drops of ZFX. Use the Z6 between layers of Z2 or Z5.

 

I slightly dampen it with a mist of water, then run a small stream of Z2 across the pad and work it in that way. I did two coats with a little more than a half ounce. Put it on very thin and let it dry.
