The streaking could be caused by either too much Zaino, or it was not totally dry when you removed it. The heat build up from the lights on a black surface can also cause this problem. Go over the car again with Z6, when it's totally cool, and see if that fixes the





Showroom hit the nail on the head. It was exactly that.





Today I went to my heated garage and applied a very thin second coat to the doors. I waited about 45 minutes and attempted to wipe it off. Once in the light of the sun I could see that the Z2 had not dried yet. All I had done was essentially the same thing. So I went back in my garage, waited another 45 minutes and buffed it again with a cotton towel lubricated with Z6. Again I had some streaks left.

I puuled back in again and did a final wipe with th MFTECH towel and WALLAH! NO MORE STREAKS! So i continued with a Z6 Qd on the rest of the car. It helped but did not elliminate them. So next weekend when I have more time I will repeat the process that provided the desired results.



One more quwestion. By next weekend the Z2 will be 2 weeks old. The car has been and will be in the garage until then. Will the lapse of time affect my results?



Thanks to everyone who helped. It's good to see my baby shine again!

Glad things are starting to look up for you. Yeah, ShowroomLincoln has helped me out of many a tight spot in the past also!! :up



Just a few things to keep in mind.....



Under normal conditions, it's best to wait an hour before buffing Zaino (w/o ZFX). I know your garage is heated, but the first time I used Zaino, I waited about 4 hours to remove my first coat and the product buffed out with ease.



Be sure to shake the bottle of Z-2 thoroughly before using it (might seem obvious, but we actually had a similar situation once with a different product).



It will be fine to try the same procedure after two weeks. In fact, the rest of your smears might either simply wash off or be buffed out even without applying any more product.



The next time you apply a coat, try to gauge how much total product you are using. I applied two coats of Zaino to my bro-in-law's car over the weekend and I used about a quarter of an ounce for each coat. The product buffed out with ease.



Let us know how it goes!
