Urgent!!! What did I do wrong??

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.

Good, stop crying now

Do what I wrote above.

Don't forget , thin coats

Cant help :bawling: , my baby is only less than 2 weeks old.

So, please bear with this rookie, can i ask how much(just about, like how many pea size drops) is enough for say the hood?

Thanks for the advice, cant do anything until tonite

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.

bimmee said:

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..

Click to expand...

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

bimmee said:

Ok, I can understand that

So the same amount for Z1 as well?

Thanks sooooooooooo much Alex

Yep, thin coats for Z1 as well.

I know you can do it!

Where are my Zaino buddies ? :bigpimp:

Shine + Durability = Zaino , you Waxheads

For those who are wondering how Zaino looks, I recommend them to check my car's pics. :tsk:

Get off of my Zaino thread !

They already do, every time I dream about Zaino on my car it's a nightmare :yikes:

Hahaha! very funny Mister. Check Rip's travel thread. 4700 miles a few weeks drive and wax was pooof ! :lmao: :bigpimp:

bimmee said:

so haus, now i am curious, what makes zaino such a pita?? and what makes griots better????

Click to expand...

ZAINO is not PITA. Apply thin coats and it's the easiest thing to buff off.

3. watch the weather forecast a week before you plan to zaino

Click to expand...

you don't need to watch the weather forecast for Zaino. If you have a garage, apply it in the evening, buff it off the next morning. That's it.:thumb:

Super! Nothing too exotic mind you. I'll take mine in steel gray, Haus in bright red and Rip and Alex will settle for all black!

Dont have a private garage

I did it in our parking garage. Wouldnt humidity affect the way it works??

Click to expand...

no, as long as it's a covered place, don't worry. I park my car also in a garage with 25 other cars.

I'll be thinking of you when I'm in Huntington Beach :bigpimp:

IndyMike said:

It escapes me too, Haus. Alex would rather build a barn with
Phil-adelphia in PA and trade Alpina model cars with Vin-man in CA, than go to true paradise. :dunno:

Don't worry, I'll be in paradise the moment when I'm sitting behind the Alpina Wheel

Re: Zaino is a PITA to buff

Intermezzo said:

Zaino is a PITA to buff, but I guess I should have used an applicator instead of pouring it straight out of the bottle unto my car and squirting some ZFX right on top of it.....hehe
