All,

I am new to Zaino and have applied 3 coats of Z5 so far (of course after proper paint prep) and have been applying as recommended per Sal.

"Squirt a dime size dab of polish on your applicator and rub it into your paint using circular hand motions. Then, go over the same area using a straight back and forth motion on top panels and an up and down motion on side panels. Allow the polish to haze over (20 minutes is sufficient)."

On some of the panels, the Z5 w/ ZFX started to set between the initial circular application and the followup straight up/down or back/forth motion. This caused a bit of a problem because the surface friction was much higher and removal was much more difficult.

How do you apply the Z?

1) In a circular motion followed by up/down or back/forth, or

2) Just up/down or back/forth.

Should it be applied differently w/ ZFX vs. w/o ZFX?

I would appreciate inputs from the Zaino tribe.

Thanks!
