Zaino horror! HELP!
Okay, so today I washed the car. Then I z6'ed. Finally I z2'ed with zfx added to it. Used about 1 ounce on the entire car, but I did put it on a little heavier than usual. I also decided to let it dry a bit longer. Total I let it dry an hour in the hot sun and went out to buff it off. It buffed off for the most part but I was forced to apply pressure to alot of it. So, I get most of it off the car, but there is still streaks. Not many streaks and they do NOT look like swirls, just streaks with the reflection. I got kinda worried, then tonight I got headlights to hit the 350z and you could see what appeared to be streaks, I buffed it again and got all the spots I missed out. The streaks apear to be there still but not real streaks, just looks like the brush strokes I put the zaino on with. Any help is appreciated....

You can't let it dry in the sun with ZFX. Only if you do it without ZFX.
This happened to me once as well. I just put on another layer and buffed it out and the streaks were gone. They may be more noticable on your SB but the Brick is dark and showed them pretty well too. I really only had them on the hood though and they weren't too bad. You do have to work to buff them out so be careful and make sure your MF towel is completely clean.
Another option (although I have no experience with it) would be to use an orbital buffer.

I had some problems buffing off my hood when I applied too much the other day. I grabbed a nice clean Pakshak Microfiber and some Z6 and went to town. They came out with some elbow grease. It can be hard to put it on super thin with Super Black because it's hard to see and I want to make sure I'm actually putting it on!

Keep in mind, the mixing bottles are 2 ounce. With or without ZFX, 1/3 of a mixing bottle is sufficient. If you used 1/2 of the bottle, you wasted some Zaino. Sal, at Zaino say he can do 2-3 cars with 1 ounce.

Yep, you applied too much. You should not be able to see it going on. The problem should fade after a few wipedowns with Z-6. Last week I let a friend of mine use my garage to Zaino his green Lexus. I got home from work as he was starting to take off the 3rd coat of Z-5 w/ZFX. He put it on WAY too thick, and I was horrified by how difficult it was to remove. The streaks went away after he used Z-6 the next day.
