Yesterday, I put on some Z-1 and Z-5, and let it dry overnight, since the instructions say that's fine. However, when I went to remove it today it was unbelievably stubborn. I'm pretty sure I didn't put too much on, because the first time I used it, it came off without a problem (didn't leave it overnight, only left it for 30 min.). I literally had to spend 2 hours of serious buffing with a towel...guess I learned not to leave it on overnight! Has anyone else had this problem?

It depends on the outside temperature. Below 60F, it takes A LOT longer to dry than in warmer weather. Let it dry for 24 hours if it's relatively cold

I always leave on overnight and comes right off. The longer it stays on and dries the easier it should be to come off. Sounds as if it was not dry. Maybe the temperature was too low and/or humidity was too high.

I didn't know you can leave the Z5 on like you can the regular polish. Even though the abrasive is very fine it still must dry differently than the 1,2,3 products.. but they do say you can! I would guess you got it on heavier than you wanted.. I have never had trouble buffing Zaino even after leaving it overnight.

I think also that you're supposed to use Z1, Z2, and Z5 in that order rather than Z1 then Z5. You need to get that Z2 in there

Just a quick question for you all. Can you buy this stuff online, or do you have to send a check/money order the old fashioned way? (snail mail) I researched the Zaino product a while back, but never got around to ordering it.

I guess I must have screwed up and used too much. My only problem when applying it is that I'm not sure how heavily it should be applied. When I applied the Z-2 before, I could hardly see any haze after it dried, so I figured I should apply more with the Z-5.
