Default Problem with Zaino

I put three coats of Zaino on my car for the first time last weekend and today when I tried to wash it, I couldn't get the water to stay on the car. How do you keep it wet long enough to wash it?

Jack, are you serious - or yanking our chain? I've used Zaino for the past 3 months and it's perfect. And I can still wash my baby...

Ask Stano ... He uses a "rock skipping" method of some sort to get water on his car.

OH EG! LMAO!

But it also makes drying easy... Take it up to 80 or so and all the water just slides off.

You have to get the Zaino approved reciprocating spinkler to keep it wet.

Maybe you need more water. Try this:
For those days your water won't cooperate with your Zaino ...

Wash it outside on a day like today (18 degrees here) then when it freezes, the water, now ice, stays right there. I don't know how you guys down south do it.

You may need to use powdered water and soap for a few weeks until conventional H2O will stick to the paint again. I feel your pain..

17 coats of Zaino and I can't stop, I am addicted.
