I have a 03 NFR and used Zaino for the first time. On my third coat of Z5 i noticed that the applicator pad had some red paint on it not that much but it looked as if i were scrubbing the car. checked the paint on the car and still looks fine, just worried that the Z5 is taking some paint of when i am applying it. Could it be I am am applying too little product? I also spray the applicator with Z6 prior to putting Z5 on it. The end result looks good but it still worries me. any imput is appreciated.....

 

I know the Z6 is pink colored, as well as Z2 (but you said you're using Z5). Are you sure it's not just the color of the Z6 in the pad?

 

I was thinking the same thing...I use the Z2 and the ZFX accelerator. The color is pink. Don't know about Z5.
Are you applying by hand? Zanio is not abrasive at all.

 

yeah, it's ok
i got that also, and mine's a Seibring
no worries

 

This has happened with NFR before, especially on the mirrors.

 

you really should not get color from our cars cause of the clear coat...
this problem has been reported several times by red car owners and no one knows why.
can you tell if its just one part of the car? or does it seem to be the entire car causing the colored pad?
and is it pink or red?

 

Thank you guys for the input. The pad is a little darker than the Z6 and it is definetly red paint. I noticed it when I was doing my hood, and only on my hood. I will pay closer attention next time. Any others with NFR have the same problem with Zaino?

 

I am extremely interested in answers to this. If there is anyone in the SF Bay Area that has this color, I would love to talk to you.

 

steve- it is absolutely not zaino causing this...
has been reported in several threads with many diff products and all on red cars.
you might try a search- if i get a chance i will try to find some threads, but gotta get on the road now, so no time

 

wanabe,
Thanks, I will do a search. I an just extremely curious about why this is happening.
