Just wash my car with normal car shampoo, Z6, and put a layer of Z2 on it (previously done Z5 with ZFX x 5 + 1 Z2), buff off with cotton towel. After that decided to put Z6 on it, and I found the Z6 will left a shadow on the surface no matter how hard I wipe it off, once it is dried it left shadow on it (can clearly see it since my car is black). Do you guys have this problem before? I suspect that since I am doing Z2 without ZFX, so that might be the bonding issue here between Z2 and Z6.

What is your opinion?

Too much Z6? "After it dried"? I mist it on and wipe it down, flip the towel and give it another wipe. How much did you use?

Did you use Z1 or ZFX with the Z2? Z2 and Z5 will streak/cloud if you don`t use the curing agents. You can`t apply Z2/5 to a finish like you can a normal car wax.



Also, what was the estimated temp outside and of the paint surface? Sometimes that has an effect on how a product reacts.

I applied Z2 directly without ZFX or Z1, because my car already have ZFX session before, and since I only applied 1 layer of Z2, I guess it is ok, not?

I use only very little of Z6, and I applied it straight after I buff of Z2, and the temp is around 30 degree celcius, typical tropical day.

Hmmmm, not sure what happened. I use Z2 after a wash quite regularly, hitting it with the Z6 before and after on all three cars, two dark colors. Never had a problem. Was the surface too hot maybe?????? In the sun? Don`t know what to say??????? Maybe something on the cloth?????

I think the weather and temp is ok as it was during tropical evening, I suspected it was caused by my cloth. I`ve tried 2 cloth, 1 is a cheap normal polishing cloth with very poor drying capability, I guess the Z6 dried on the surface leaving those shadow mark. I`ve ordered good towels from my Zaino supplier, hopefully it will solve my problem.

I`ve used Zaino for 5 years and never had that happen to me. If you Z6 again and it won`t come off, I would suggest washing with Z7.
