Did you wash the finish with Dawn AFTER your polishing or did you go straight to Zaino?

If you went straight to Zaino, it did not bond. As per verbal with Sal on questions on which polish works better for a prep with Zaino, his answer was any polish will work, however, you MUST wash the oils off the paint first! All polsihes contain some form of oils (petroleum distillates) which inhibit a proper bond with Zaino and paint.

Next time, wash the car after polishing to remove all oils. Then Zaino the finish.

In doubt, as Sal yourself.
