Yesterday took my car to car wash(hand wash) and then when I went home, I started the first polishing job on my baby.

With the zaino applicator, I applied z1 on the whole car and then when I finished, I started applying Z2.

When I am done with Z2, I started using a 100% made in usa towel to take off the wax BUT I COULDNT TAKE IT OFF?!?!?!!

Its like the wax is stuck on the paint and I had to scrub very hard to get it off. I spent like 2 hours but still the wax is stucked on the paint. What have I done to my baby??? :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Help this rookie plzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

You didn't apply it in the sun did you??

 

[bimmee]

No, I did it at nite

 

[Mr. The Edge]

How long after applying Z2 did you try to buff it off? It sounds like you applied too much and/or didn't wait long enough for it to dry.

 

[bimmee]

right after i finished with the whole car, oh no, i guess i didnt wait long enuf....

Any remedy???

 

[Dr. Phil]

Sounds like a question for Dr. Alee:dunno: Here is an older link to his pointers Z by Alee But it does not talk about how to fix your problem

You could switch to Blitz like your neighbor Vexed j/k

Hopefully some Zaino users will com to your help.

 

[Mr. The Edge]

Did you try buffing it off this morning? See the zainobros website, and it says what to do if you smear it.

First time with Zaino ? Probably you used 'too' much. The magic word is 'very thin coats'. I had the same problem at first.

If it still won't come off, use a damp towel, wipe it off and apply it again very thin coats ( I mean very thin)

Damp the cotton applicators with water or squirt a few drops Z6 and put Z2 or Z5 on it, spread it with your finger, and ready to go.

Humidity is an enemy of Zaino, it takes ages to cure if the weather is humid. If you have the chance to leave the car under the sun, first apply Zaino and leave it under the sun. According to Sal Zaino, it takes about 20-30 minutes to cure under the sun.

BTW, you can use Zaino under the sun.

 

[bimmee]

Yes, first time

And yes I just tried again to buff it off, a lot of it came off but everyone can tell I had a BAD WAX DAY!!!! A lot of swirl marks and residue

Also I noticed a lot of scratch marks, I probably scrub too hard

And its raining today :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

With one pad you should be able to do the hood easily. (even that maybe not thin enough) It takes a bit practice, but don't give up. As I said before, damp the applicator with Z6 and you'll be fine.

BTW, if you can find foam wax applicators , buy them. They are much more effective to use.

I tell ya, I was so angry at myself last nite I told myself I will just take it to the carwash. Those machines will do less damage then what I did.... scratch marks, swirl marks, residue marks.......

When you said one pad, ummmm, how much is that exactly? Dont want to do it wroong again..

Take the cotton applicator, squirt a little Z6 , and squirt a big 'X' in the middle. That should be enough.
