Anyone having trouble layering Z2pro?

I've been trying to layer Z2pro after PCing with very limited success. The first time around I used AIO to clean the surface then layering, a few months later I tried Z fusion followed by another attempt. I was able to put one very thin layer down, allow it to dry then buff out. In both cases I was unable to put another layer down, the Z2 only slid across the surface with none staying behind. The only way to get any on there was to apply excessive amounts then waiting a long time to let it cure. I've never had this trouble with the old Z2 formulation.



Has anyone else had trouble puting more than one layer down on a fresh surface?



BTW - This was applying by hand, I'm considering using the PC at this point.

I guess I do lose almost as much product to prime the pad as I put on the car, but its so fast and the only way I've been able to get that thin layer down.

I've never had any problems with any of the Zaino products. My Zaino experiences are all by hand, producing teriffic results everytime.

My exact question? :think:



What type of applicator pad are you using? Sponge, cotton or MF?



My only problem with layering Z2-PRO is applying an addition layer when after a wash alone (no Z6 or Z8 wipedown) the vehicles shows no sign of needing it. :dance



The perfect appearance requiring only a wash can be very boring for someone that likes to masturbate ;) his paint. :wall

Are you priming the pad? If so with what?



I never had luck using the PC, when I tried it I used 2-3x more than by hand.

If you are using ZFX, be sure to shake up well, then let sit for 15-20 minutes to react with the Z2.



I use foward and back overlapping motions. It goes on thin and at some spots looks like I missed, but as it hazes, what looked like was missed, actually had a very thin coat.



But I would call Sal...I agree all my Zaino flows around inside the bottle, Ive never had "glops". Maybe you do have a contaminated bottle...
