Something is wrong M if your car doesn't bead. I don't use Zaino so can't tell you what. Are you following the directions carefully?

 

ya i'm following the directions, and not to mention Kevin applied the Z2 on my car 2 months ago. Could it be the Z2 i received might not be any good?

 

Although it sounds unlikely I suppose it is possible. It still should be beading from the original coat Kevin put on.

 

are you using zfx along with it to bind it better?

 

yea,i'm mixing it with zfx. i put about 4-5 drops of zfx.
Just one question, if i'm using zfx how long should i wait for the 2th coat?

thanks

 

6 hours. It says it on the website and also let the zaino sealant bond to the surface before you wipe it off.

 

Manbir, I never use the ZFX with the Zaino. But I do it when it is warmer out and if I want a second coat, I do it the next day. I also use the gloss enhancer between each coat.

 

that might be it, since i never waited 6 hours. i will for sure try that next time and see how it turns out.

thanks guys,

 

You don't need to wait between layers with ZFX. How long are you letting it dry?

To be honest I've never had a problem with Zaino applications. Layering or not, waiting long enough to dry or not, its time consuming but works. If your car is truly not beading maybe you have a bad batch?

Sorry to hear...good luck...

 

Did you shake the Z2 well before squirting it into the mixing tube and mixing it up with ZFX? Z2 settles and must be shaken before dispensing (says so right on the bottle).

 

run a hose of so so running water on your hood does it sheet right off?
