aha - all is revealed now!

those are some startling results - even i was impressed (and i was a tad aprehensive considering Frosty's deep involvement with his car and Meguiars). sometimes folks just expect too much - but man,. those were nice results . . . .

so, who did the most work - you or him ?

We did most of the work together. In order to save product, He did the claybar portion, and the washing with dawn and Z7 while I rinsed. The rest we did together. It took approximately 6 hours and change. But I am sold for life with this product as he must have told you.

Thank you Homer2 for all your help and support; it truly is an amazing product. I have used every type of wax out there and this is by far the best.

Get the ZFX accelerator. It is awesome. Don't be upset by the pitiful quantity you get either. It goes a long way. I got a bottle of Z2 and the Z5. According to the info, 1 ZFX kit should be enough for both of these bottles. You also can cheap out a bit on the ZFX when mixing. You just add a half hour to an hour of drying time. I think I have been using 3 drops per 1 ounce, 5 drops for 2 oz.

Newbie Q - What 's the best conditions weather wise for the Zaino products? I'm in So Cal, so mostly sunshine although I'm also close to the beach so AM fog is common. It it's hot and sunny should I wait until an overcast morning? I didn't see any info on Zaino's site or here. Any help is appreciated.

[QUOTE]Quote: from Homer2 on 11:20 am on April 2, 2002[br]yea - it can be applied in the sun - but with a little reservation.

e.g. - I'm sure you know not to wash in the sun, or wash a "hot" car - cold water hitting the car causes a "shock" and is bad for paint and clear.

humidity is something you want to avoid (if possible).

it slows down the drying time - and you may get impatient and wipe it off before its actually dry.

am fog - well, that measn cool temps too - right ?

if its foggy - i personally would wait it out

You can (and perhaps should, in wet climates or on moist mornings) apply Zaino in the sun.
