Default ZAINO TIME LIMITATIONS

I'm running out of day light and weekend time to add to my 3 coats of Z5. Can I add a coat of Z5 at night in my garage and leave it to dry, then when I get home the next day take that coat off and Z6 it?Is 24 hours to much time to leave Zaino on with out buffing it off? This step will also save me from using my ZFX. I did use the ZFX in my first 3 coats. Appreciate your help.
Tony

You can leave the Z5 on overnight without a problem.

Just be sure your car doesn't get dusty before you wipe it off or it may leave swirls.

:iagree: As long as dust and debeis did not collect on the surface overnight, you should be OK. Mixing ZFX with the Z5 also drastically reduces curing time. Depending on humidity, you can usually begin removing the polish within a half hour to hour of application. Just and idea if you run short on time.

:iagree: I have left it on the wheels for over 3 days and it wiped right off.

There was a guy who stored his car during the winter and would leave a heavy coat of Z-5 on the car and remove it when he took it out of storage in the spring.
