Default Smoldering cigarette butt vs. Zaino Z6

Warning: Rant Ahead

Have only had the chance to get a few coats of Z6 on this week as I have not had the hours to do a full detail yet. Anyway, clipping down the highway yesterday, pull into the righthand lane to exit. Car in front of me flicks a smoldering cigarette STRAIGHT UP in the air, splat right on my hood, embers, ashes and all. WTF? Why do these a-hole smokers think its OK to flick their still smoldering butts out the window, up in the air, where it can only hit someone thats behind them? Anyway, sorry, dont mean to offend any friends I may have that smoke, but jesus christ, keep it in your car rather than sharing your litter with my hood.

Luckily, a quick spritz and wipe took the offending mark right off.

I don't think the purpose of Z-6 is really to get multiple coats. In fact I'm not sure if this is even possible since it never cures, you just wipe it off.

It should be either a finisher or a layer that goes in-between coats of Z-2 or Z-5.

Z-2 and Z-5 are the ones you want to layer in multiple coats. When the layer dries to your paint, you get a nice layer of polymer bonded to your paint and you wipe away the excess. Then finish with Z-6, rather than trying to put on a whole bunch of coats of it.

Sorry that should have said this month. In leiu of having time to do full washes/details each week, I have been using my duster and finishing with Z6 once a week in between. Not layering it on purpose, just using it after a dusting to sharpen it up. Seems to be working OK.
