I was a CG zealot for most of the life of my 350Z. But CG CANNOT be applied in sunlight. Unfortunate circumstances mean I will not be able to wax/protect my car in the shade for a while.

Today I tried NXT wax. It applied and removed great in the sun. I am very happy with it. But I would prefer a higher end protectant like Zaino.

HELP!?!?!?!



P.S.
I still think that (1)Meguiar's Premium Paint Cleaner, (2)Swirl Remover, (3)Car Show Glaze, and (4)Gold Class Paste creates a more emotional deep shine than CG or Zaino.

 

I tried CGQ. (5+)

Then I tried Zaino.

No comparison. Zaino wins by a mile. Lasts longer with a better shine.

mgk

 

No problem at all applying Zaino in direct sunlight. If you use the ZFX (flash cure additive) though it'll dry pretty quickly. It may be just a little harder to take off if this happens and you can occasionally get streaks that take some rubbing to get out.

 

Dr. Bonz - so you reccomend using little to no ZFX. How long would it take to dry in direct sun without ZFX? I would like 2 Z-5 1 Z-2 and finish with Z-6 to prevent dust.

 

I generally try to do one or two layers with the ZFX and the last layer (the second if I do two or the third if I do three) without the ZFX. I leave it in my garage over night and take it off the next morning.

If you do not use ZFX and you leave the car in the sun, it may DRY on the car pretty quickly but it will take a good 6-8 hours to BOND with the paint. The ZFX doesn't necessarily make it DRY any faster, it simply speeds up the chemical bonding process.
