Looking better and better!

Four coats of Zaino Z2/Z6 and two of Z5/Z6.

Your car looks great.

Am curious, did you ever apply the Z6/Z5 in the sun?

I've been using the Z2 -- almost on 10 coats now (Silver car, great paint). Added in a touch of Z5 for some tiny scratches on my side window chrome, and it worked great.

I use the Z6/Z2/Z6 in warm weather -- it is great. Always wondered about the warning on the Z5 to use it when cold (look a the bottle, and you will see what I mean.)

Thanks. I usually always apply it in the sun. Maybe that's why I never have to wait hours for it to dry as so many people report. Then again, maybe since I've been using it since the summer of 98, I have the "technique" perfected and use very little.

Never noticed the warning about using Z5 "cold". Will check it out. The car just looks better and better with each coat. As a matter of fact, as I was washing it yesterday, I leaned a little too far with the wash mitt and slid on the already slippery surface and stepped on the hose nozzle and drenched myself! Not the first time this has happened.
