Default too cold for Zaino?

just got zaino, i am a first time user....i live in NY and its starting to get cold here (30-40 degrees F). i was just wondering if i can apply multiple coats of zaino Z5 and Z2 to my car in a day as long as i still have the ZFX accelorator with it being this cold outside...or do you guys think its to cold and i should just wait for spring.

I applied a coat of Z2 with ZFX in my garage on Sunday. It was about 42 degrees fahrenheit. I have applied about 7 layers since I started the Zaino process...so far it's always been in cold weather.

I say go for it.

Yes, it's too cold. From the Zaino website:

http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...de=APPLICATION

6. Let Z-5 or Z-2 PRO polish dry at least one hour. Please NOTE: Zaino Show Car Polish works best at 60 degrees or higher. However, it can be applied down to temperatures of 45 degrees. It just will take much, much longer to dry. As much as two to three hours drying time is required if the temperature is 50 degrees or below. Also, If the humidity is high. Longer drying time is necessary. Humidity is a killer on the drying time of Z-2 PRO or Z-5. The moisture in the air hinders drying time up to four times longer than normal. Sorry, but I can't help this. When you try to remove Z-2 PRO or Z-5 when it is still wet. All you're accomplishing is moving it around. Kinda like reapplying it. Also you need to use a LARGE White 100% Bath size towel (please refer to my Tips & Tricks sheet on my web site for the proper towels to use) to remove Z-2 PRO or Z-5. Smaller towels will not work efficiently.

With ZFX. Without ZFX, the normal drying time for Z-2/Z-5 is like overnight.
