    S&W + Z2=Streaks?

    I use S&W nonstop and have never had a single problem with streaks (hot, cold, slightly dirty, dusty, etc...). Today, I went back over a car that received Z2 last week. This was my first time using Zaino--I had finally gotten too curious to avoid it any longer. Problem is, S&W streaked something fierce! I followed up with Z6 and it cleaned up nicely, but what is the dilly with S&W plus Z2. Did I experience a fluke?

    Thanks.

    That surprises me? Are you sure the paint surface wasn`t extremely hot when you did the S & W, and then cooled down when you tried the Z6?

    How long was the Z on the car before you used the S&W. As Boss said to the temp of the car could also be the problem.

    Unfortunately not (I would have liked such a factor). The car had been garaged for the past two days.

    *edit* Beemer, you`re too quick. Z2 w/ Zfx was applied exactly a week prior.

    That`s a good question then I have only used Zaino a few time and was not impressed with it. I`m now wondering if the S&W was reactting to the chemical in the Z products. They seem to have a bit more silicon in them and thinking the S&W searmed the silicon around. But this is jsut all a guess

    Well, I have some Z2 and Z5, but I`ve never had the chance to try them with S & W. I suppose there could be some kind of adverse reaction between them? :dunno

    The only times I`ve seen S & W streak, are on extremely hot paint, or when the S & W is applied extremely heavy.

    I`ll try it again next time I`m over here (it was Pop`s car). If it doesn`t work on the second trial, I`ll have to experiment with some QEW dilutions in a spray bottle.
