Os & Z8

[Mobilejay]

Today I washed and waxed the 57 belaire( if you saw the post a few weeks ago I did a 57 and 65 cobra, aston etc.) When I did it before I applied BF gloss enhancing polish ( i think) and today I washed it and applied OS. Well it was my first time using it and I believe I put too much on a few panels like the trunk and hood. It took a while for me to get used to it and to tell you the truth I still don't think I'm used to it. Anyway, after I did that I washed and waxed the DB7 and came back(30-40 min) to inspect the 57 and noticed most of the OS cured and was fine but trunk and hood had some darker spots where I guess I put too much. I decided to wipe it off with Z8 and could not believe how slick it left the car. I wiped down a panel on the side that was cured and then wiped it down after the Z8 and noticed it was a lot slicker. I know it completly goes against what the OS is for but damn it was nice. I don't know how it will stand up (slickness wise) with OS by itself but we'll see. I'll be back next week, I will try to remember to wipe it down cause I wont be washing it and its under a cover so I'll just take an MF and see. I guess I can't really see if its still slicker than the OS alone since it was my first time. Anywho, just figured I would tell you my experience.

Z8 works well over OS. I am going to alternate them on the Mustang GT-CS I see every two weeks. I've got two coats of OS with an application of Z8 over each (two weeks apart). Looks really good.

The same thing happened to me not matter how much I applied.I had to go over with a QD even after a 8 hour period. Pretty decent stuff though, I still prefer the performance of CS.
