Default Zanio Question

I know it is never suppose to rain in Southern California.... but it is!

I just received my Zaino shipment and I want to do the full application on my black C6 including Clay, Z5, Z2 and Z6. Although I have a garage and I am sure I can get the washed in between rain drops, should I try to do the Z5 and Z2 applications in the high humidity (and low temps, it is expect to get to a high of 65 today) or should I wait?

I will be using ZFX in both the Z5 and Z2, if I do this today, should I use a little more??

It will just take longer for it to dry but it's no problem.

IMO-follow directions (re: ZFX) and apply this weekend. Do it in your garage, a little polishing music, a few brews or your drink of choice and wait for the great results. Take your time.

I did the same thing last Friday/Sat while it was raining. Following the formula on the bottle measuring tool my coats dried in about 45 minutes even in the humidity. Make sure you apply thin coats, almost invisible, if it is too thick you will be fighting it all day.

I got the sound clip from your Magnaflows at home from last weekend. I'll send it too you. I have not yet joined an online video site to post it.

I live north of you in Dana Point and Zaino'd my car between showers Superbowl weekend without any problems. You may want to visit the Zaino web site as there are detailed answers. I now have 5 coats on my Mag Red and I am totally amazed!!

Questions are questions, why bust Digbyanb nutz for asking a question?

This forum has plenty of frivolous useless questions asked by members that have been answered 100 times before. So what!

What color should I buy?
should I buy MN6 or A4?
Who paid the most?
Who paid the least?
How much should I pay?
Can I get a cheap lease?
What color is best?
Do you like my ugly mods?

I would rather read about specific's about Zainoing a Vette, than this
other useless crap.

Reading it in Car Care or GD doesn't really matter that much to you Does it?

How is my remark busting anybody? I'm just letting him know that when he starts looking for responses to his thread, the mods may have moved it.

Lighten up. I don't care where he puts it.

Your right I did not read the stickys, it won't happen again.... but never the less thanks all for the advice... FYI - I am in the process of Zaioning (is that a word??) my C6 now and it seems to be going well.

I fail to see the part where you inform the original poster about his post possibly being moved because it is off topic by posting "Someone didn't read the Stickys"?

I think that it is sad when a member posts a question in good faith to other members here and the responses he receives chastise him or try to teach "Forum Etiquette" in a passive aggressive way.

No wonder so many don't ask questions they are afraid of the responses they may get. If you don't want to answer then don't respond.

I'm sure that if the Mods want to move the post he will somehow find it, usually they are labeled as "Moved"
