Default Zaino Z-2/Z-5 in Cold Weather

It will get up to about 38 degrees today, but my garage does not face the sun, so my un-heated garage is about 20 degrees. I am using a space heater but it does not help any.

So my ? is, can I use Z-5, Z-2 with ZFX in this cold weather?

How long should I leave the Z-5, Z-2 on the car?

Should I go ahead and apply the Z-5 with ZFX, then apply the Z-2 without ZFX and let it sit overnight?

Thanks for any help. I wish it would warm up a little.

Sure......

"How long should I leave the Z-5, Z-2 on the car? "

Not to me smart, but leave it on as long as it takes to dry. You can leave it on a hour, day, week, etc. It is not like a wax where if you leave it on too long it will be a bear to remove, Zaino will come off just as easy left on an hour or a week. I have been Zainoing since 1997 so my technique is by far perfected as I can apply a coat of Zaino with ZFX in cold weather and it can be dry and ready for removal in about 30 min even in cold weather.

"Should I go ahead and apply the Z-5 with ZFX, then apply the Z-2 without ZFX and let it sit overnight?"

As long as you buff off the dried Z-5 and ZFX before applying the Z-2 without ZFX. You do not have to use ZFX activation every time you put on a coat of Zaino.

Thanks.
I rented a kerosene torpedo heater and heated up the garage to 72 and got 5 coats on in 2 days during Thanksgiving Day weekend. The temp. outside was in the low 30s during the day.
