Ok so after using ZFX ans the z1+z2 combination I have to say the car looks MUCH MUCH better with the z1 + z2 combo. Although the ZFX makes the car look nice it just doesn't make the car look as "wet". I noticed this after my time to detail my car has shrunk considerably and I don't have the time to go through 3 applications of zfx. I've had to make due with the z1+z2. Initially I thought it was just my eyes but i've gone through multiple applications and I can say the car looks better with z1+z2. Now i'm a freak when it comes to detailing and have mastered the art of the thin coat so i know the techniques i'm using are the same for both combination. I think i'm pretty much given up on the ZFX.


Anybody else notice this same thing?

 

Yea, ZFX blows.
I’ll take all that worthless crap off your hands at the next MEET if you want.

shawn,
sure thing i have a bottle left over. It's all yours just bring the cash Seems the ZFX and anthracite don't give the results i used to get in my SSM. y3kcls complained about similar issues.
btw, did i ever say ZFX blows?

 

yea... i notice a better shine when i dont use zfx.... i wonder why.., u just need to zfx once every 10 coats or the 1st coat...

 

despite the fact that it's not supposed to b applied via orbital, im still considering getting a professional one to apply Z from now on based on the way the car comes out post-professional detailing

 

scooter,
ok. but what does that have to do with the subject of this thread?

 

the sheer fact that the look of the paint is a ton better when it's applied via orbital vs. by hand, no matter if u use Z1 or ZFX...just trying to think a lil out of the box
