Zanio Problems?
The last couple of times I used Zanio I have noticed that it is very difficult to get off.( 2 and 6) It leaves smudges and smears all over the place. I’ve sworn by this stuff for the last two years and now I swear at it. Has anybody else noticed this? I am putting in on in very thin coats so that isn’t the problem.

How long are you leaving it on? Humidity is the main factor in Zaino's drying time. I know around here it is really humid outside and I have to let the polish sit for a bout an hor or so before I start removing it.

Zaino Problems?
I've only had that problem once and the reason was that I put it on too thick. Try mixing some ZFX, it greatly accelerates drying time,and if you go a little too thick, it still wipes off easily. :cheers:

In that case I would contact Sal by email or phone. Everything you say in your procedure is correct, so there must be another factor and if anyone knows what it might be, it is Sal.

Re: Zaino Problems? (Silver2002)
Your post reminds me of the reason I finally made a switch from Zaino after years of use. I will not go in to what I product I use now as my intention is not to start another polish/wax debate. But I have seen other people experiencing the same problem as you after following the directions to a T. It just seems that Zaino can be very tempermental depending on various factors such as application and humidity. I chose to go with a more forgiving product that gives me as good if not better results... :cheers:
