Default please help new zaino user

on my 97 first time zaino
ok this is what i did
washed with dawn
hosed down
then claybar w/ z7 carwash
then hosed down and washed w/z7
dried car
applied z1
applied z5
waited 1 1/2 hours in 70 degree weather
then started to buff off with towel
it was really hard to get the stuff off the car was it b/c i used to much z5?
i had to rub hard to get everything off so does this mean i screwed it all up and i have to start over with the z1?

Sounds like you put too heavy a coat of Z5 on the car. If you got all of it off, just keep layering it. You don't have to start all over. If you have Z6, spray that on the applicator and then put Z5 on it. That thins out the Zaino and it will go on thinner and be easier to take off

Approximatly how much of the bottle did you use? A rule of thumb is you should use about 1/3 of an ounce per coat.

I think it is better to use 1/2 oz, but not more. :crazy:

As said it sould like you used too much polish and or too much polish Lok, you can remove any excess by washing the car. You need the smallest amount of product when you use synthetic products, the bottle of Z-1 should last you 8-12 applications and the Z-2/Z-5 you should get 15-30 applications from the polishes. It is hard at first to get yourself to apply it that thin, but after a few applications it get easier to do.
