how long did it take for the Z2 to cure?

DO NOT USE WARM WATER TO WASH YOUR CAR!!!!!

FACT: Warmer water freezes faster than colder water! I learned this the hard way, but its called Mpemba Effect.

I used the ZFX curing accelerator and let it sit overnight.

Looks good.

re: tell the guys with oranges
they spray warm water because they want the water to freeze - the ice creates a barrier and keeps the fruit a little insulated from sub-freezing temps. same for strawberries, etc.

it's a "truism"...

I wash in the cold with warm water. I also use my scuba neoprene gloves to keep my hands warm. Works great together. I advise anybody who washes their car in cold weather to have a set (gauntlet style up past the wrist). They aren't waterproof, but they keep the same water close to your skin, so it stays warmer.
