I have been using Zaino for a while, but I thought I'd give the new Liquid Souveran a try for that "wet" look. I washed the car with a weak solution of dawn and it didnt seem to phase the zaino at all (I only had a little dawn left) then I used my porter cable to buff out some scratches on the hood and it wouldn't even penetrate the zaino, it only hazed it a little. So yesterday I bought a big bottle of dawn and had to wash the car 4 times with about 1/3 a cup of dawn in 2 gallons of water and that seemed to get the Zaino off, but I'm thinking it might not all be gone...
Anyways to get to the point, after lots of dawn I dried the car off and polished the hood. Then I applied one coat of Liquid Souveran on the hood with my porter cable at speed 1. I let it dry to a haze like normal then tried buffing it off but it didn't want to come off! (part of the hood was in the sun where the sun was peeking into the garage, but even the area that was in the shade while drying wouldn't buff off). So I got fed up and left it overnight. This morning I washed the hood with dawn to get the Souveran off and dried it. Then I applied one coat of Liquid Souveran on half of the hood by hand. This time I only let it sit for about 30 seconds before I buffed it off. It was still creamy when I buffed it off. I thought that was weird for a wax, but I figured maybe Liquid Souveran is not supposed to dry before you buff it off. Lastly I applied a second coat to the same half of the hood and buffed it off the same way. Then I pulled the car out of the garage into the sunlight and I literally could tell NO difference between the unwaxed half of the hood and the half with Liquid Souveran. This is pretty disappointing considering its a $25 wax that I had to mail order.
Did I do something wrong in my application? I felt it went on alot better and smoother by hand than with the porter cable. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I didn't get all of the Zaino off - but shouldnt the Liquid Souveran give a more wet and deeper look than the Zaino?
Sorry if I rambled too much, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
