I am completly annoyed at this point.

I polished my G8 using Zaino last week the same way I have been doing it for years. But this time it left hologramming all over the car where you can see every movement where I put the Zaino on. I can not get this off for the life of me. Today I broke out the buffer w/ Menzerna and it is still there WTF. I am at wits end and just dont understand it.

The only thing I can think of is that every towel I own has some sort of resedue on it; but I dont know what it is. But what are the odds of that happening? P

What product are you referring too?
I can't imagine how this happened.

I put on Z-AIO as it was the first coat I was putting on. So I use it as a base, lol.

Looks like that bit me in the ***.

Sounds like you have a bad applicator. Did you do the CD test to make sure it is not scratching your finish? Was it a new app or was it washed?

Did you use fabric softener on your towels apps? This is a no no.

Use too much pressure?

Sounds like some type of user error but you say you didn't change anything which would kinda rule that out.

I would carefully review every step of your process. You may also want to call Sal, he is usually pretty good at diagnosing these types of problems. 732 833-8800

These were new applicators; and the towels had just been washed (never use fabric softener)

I guess I will try washing them again; maybe there was fabric softener residue in the machine??
