How many coat of zaino do you get from one ounce?

I also get 2 coats.. wish i could get more.. but, having used Klasse SG, i learned the hard way to apply thin.. and i mean VERY thin.. i use all tricks to see if i applied it evenly, and thin enough, and if i corvered every area. I have a pathfinder which is pretty big, so i think 2 coats is alot.
1 ounce Z2/Z5 and 4 drops ZFX

I did it with Klasse too, the first time I detailed a car! I got at least 5 coats per ounce the first time I waxed a car! I think you just have to have the right mindset -- you don't have to see the wax to know it is there!

Go by feel . . . I only put one thin 2" or so line of product on the pad and use that for an entire panel-2 panels. I'm not worried about going too thin because I always go by feel to make sure I covered all areas and I know the layer that bonds to your paint is often hundreds of times thicker than the one that you put on.

If you can easily see a layer of the stuff on the paint from all angles, IMO you are using more than necessary. Is this bad? No. Wasteful? Yes.

Different strokes for different folks! :-d

6 COATS here. Nowadays, if I use ZFX I always mix a little LESS than 1/2 oz and I get 3 coats and still have a little leftover, so I guess I can do more than 6 coats out of 1 FULL oz.

When I first started using Z, I was getting 3 coats out of 1OZ ( Click to see my very FIRST Autopia Post about this .) Then 2 coats out of 1/2oz. Then 3 coats out of < 1/2oz. I guess the more you play with it, the thinner you go.

This is the reason why I try not to use ZFX if I only intend to do 1 coat. I really don't know how to calculate exactly how many oz of Z and how many drops of ZFX to mix for just 1 coat... Always end up wasting and throwing the the unused portion away.

I really wouldn't worry too much if you are not getting as many coats out of an ounce. Once I described to Sal how I apply Z and how less and thin I was doing, and he told me I could apply a little more if I want.
