I am going to put the first 3 layers on using ZFX.



What I was wandering is the ZFX needed for every layer after the first 3 even if your only going to use 1 layer a day after the first day or is it like the Z1 and only need be applied every 10 layers?
 
~One man’s opinion / observations ~



I’m not a Zanio (or any other product guru) but I know you shouldn’t apply more than three coats in a 24-hour period. This would lead me to think to apply further ‘layers’ you would need the ZFX cure accelerator.



~Hope this helps~

After you've done the ZFX mixed with either Z2 or Z5, you can apply up to three layers in a single day- just what you said. Then after that, you can apply either Z5 or Z2 1 layer at a time per day without the need for ZFX. I personally wouldn't do more than 3 layers, I think you are just wasting product after that point.
 
Whether you are using Z2 or Z5 I think the way it works is the initial layer you need either Z1 or ZFX in order for it to bond properly to the paint. After that you don't need it but, you can then only do one layer every 24 hours??? The only way to get 3 layers in 24 hours is with Z1 or ZFX. Then sal recommends Z1 or ZFX every 10 layers. This is the way I understood it. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong :D



EDIT: I guess Greg can type faster than I can but, seems like we are saying the same thing so I guess I am on the right page even though I am not a guru.
 
ZFX only needed if one plans to apply multiple layers (w/i 12 hrs (lifespan of ZFX mixture)

Z1 or ZFX must be used for initial layer even if only 1 layer is being applied.

Z2 and Z5 can be used alone, after initial Z1 or ZFX layer, but one is limited to 1 layer within 24hrs.



Z1 should be used every 5-8 coats. I would use the same criteria for ZXF-only users.

Hope this helps. :wavey
 
Note:



Some of us have found that the longer you let a layer cure (not setup), the better the gloss.



i.e. if I apply 3 layers in 12 hours allowing each layer to setup for ~ 1/2hr and then applying the next layer 1-2 hours later, the results are not as good as if you apply 3 layers - 1 per day.



It appears as though allowing the layers to cure for a longer period of time, the better the results. I personally now only apply 2 layers per day. Depending on time and weather conditions, 4 layers in 2 days.



The same thing is seen with S100. The day after, it seems to be even more reflective and has a very since pop to it once the wax has hardened.
