I am following the tips/directions. A small dime size amount on my applicator pad and I kind of smear it around a bit. Then going in long sweeps apply the polish. However It doesn't look like much is actually getting on the car. When the polish hazes after 30 minutes or so very few places have white the rest has very little polish. Should I apply more? It is tough for me to gauge how much to use.

Also I bought the accelerator and the little blue bottle came half empty!?

Thanks.

 

if it looks like you do not have enough on, that is just about perfect!!

take your time with the app-
and do several apps... with more than one app you will hit any places that might not have enough product on.

i often use the pc to apply, but it does use a lot more product than the hand method does (doesnt bother me, but i know it bothers lots of others!)- i like the pc cause it applies very evenly and i feel like i can control the amount better. but even after i apply it does look like there is not enough product on the car-

you can tell if you actually did miss a spot after the buff- any missed areas will not have the same shine! (again, it is rare to miss an area- but i have done it!)- and again, to fix this, the second coat will handle it-

 

If you think you have too little polish on your pad, try rubbing it on the windshield, if you can still see a slight film your alright.

 

thx porsche951- you reminded me:

o.k. to do the glass and the plastic exteriors (lights, etc.) with the zaino!!
and dont forget the wheels- (seriously)

 

The glass trick is the one I use to see if there's still anything on the pad, and YES - coat everything - paint, glass and trim. About the only exterior parts of the car that don't get Zaino are the tires and rubber seals. Also, yes the ZFX comes about half full. Unless you use the ZFX every time you wash the car, you'll probably never use even that half bottle. Mine dried up after about a year, but I got a lot of coats out of it.....
