water wont bead

Hey guys,
I have applied Zaino Z2 on my car Many times this year, but the car still dosnt bead water like how its suppose to. My friend's TL which i washed today, the water was beading so much, and made me relize i must be doing something wrong with my car. but on the other hand i had the car detailed by Kevin 2 months back.

I'm going to buy Nxt2.0 and see if that makes the difference. I am getting a Perfect shine with the zaino but the water doesnt bead.

any suggestions?

In terms of durabilities I'm sure it surpasses NXT 2.0 too. I can only compare it to NXT 1.0 though since that's the only one I used. I'm sort of confused about your post. To clarify, the last time Z2 was applied on was 2 months ago? Even then Zaino should last 3-4 months, but everybody experiences different weather conditions.

Zaino....failure?

Even if you left your car out in the elements in Canada all winter water should
still bead, did you? I waxed my wifes Vet two years ago with my Zymol
Concourse and it still beads. It is garage kept and she actually uses her
car cover when at work....I know amazing Good Luck with what
ever you try next!

I'm washing the car with Meguiar Deep Crystal Car Wash, than applying Z2 when the car is dry in the garage. I usually do 2 coats so i use ZFX, I apply with the microfiber tower. Onces the sealant is dry i take it off with the microfiber tower.

Mine has not had a coat of Zaino since last fall and it still beads up and shines. I'm waiting for the warm weather to give another application of Z2. I also love the Zaino car wash Z7
