im furious .. Zaino'd last nite, and today it rained
the car doesnt look quite as bad as it wouldve if it had rained before the zaino, most of the water just rolled off .. but its still dirty 
the worst part is, i got up at around 10 and looked outside and the rain hadnt quite stopped yet, for me to go scrape the water off with the blade .. and then i get up 2 hours later and it is almost 80 degrees outside and all thats left is water spots

you're right, it is shorter than the stock, however i've had it in there for a couple weeks, regular driving, (which is fairly aggressive) and the roads here in south bend are a nightmare .. it has been perfect, no problems yet.

I drove through a car wash on saturday mornin though, and let them use whatever they use .. but i didnt go through the dryer, instead i let it air dry on my way back home and then hand washed it bit by bit using the Zaino soap concentrate and the clay bar. gawd that works wonders, the car looked like a million dollars after that hand wash w/o anything else on it. then i applied the z1, and then the show car wax coat 1 ..
then it rained
then yesterday i just hosed it down .. no soap .. just a jet of water to remove the dust and then hand dried it

I zaino'd this weekend too and it rained like 30 mins after I finished! I just waited until it stopped and used the cleaning spray to get the dust off. It's smoother than when it was new!

Are you using the Z-6 after you do the Z-2? The only spots I ever have would be if the car was dusty and then it dried, but they would be dust spots and not water spots.

If it was me, I'd Z-2 and then Z-6. The more coats of Z-2/Z-6, the wetter the look, the shinier the car. In addition, nothing sticks to it and what little does stick, washes right off. On my 99 300M, I could Z-2 and wipe it off in about 45 minutes as long as the weather conditions were right. It's all up to you and how you want your car to look.
