I just Zaino'd the car last week, then today I gave it a quick wash then used the Z-6 which is supposed to be an in-between gloss enhancer/cleaner. Car looked great after that. Then I decided to give the Z-8 a try and it came out all streaky.

What went wrong? Followed the directions on both, spray on, wipe of til dry. Not enough "dry" time on the Z-6? Maybe I'll try the Z-6 again to get rid of the Z-8 tomorrow.

Z8 is super concentrated. One squirt should do the entire hood.

Really? I can never seem to stretch it that far. I just use 4 smaller squirts, although maybe that equates to 1 big one.

OK probably too much Z-8 then. What's the best way to clean off without messing up what's below?

Distilled water would be the best solution, or it will come off with the next wash.

I've split my Z8 into 2 new separate spray bottles (adjustable mist spray) and diluted it 50/50 with distilled water. It does not streak my Space Gray at all now. :shifty

4 small squirts is way too much.:eek:

Plus Z6 and Z8 are not meant to be used on top of each other. You should do one at a time only and not Z6 then Z8.

And don't forget to shake well before you use them.
