Now if you touch the car you leave something like a smear mark and finger prints galore! seems like the Zaino is not curing or getting hardened, I emailed Zaino last week but no one replied so if anyone out there knows what I am doing wrong please let me know
Thanks

First off. The Z1 is made to go UNDER the Z5.

Also, the when you mention accelrator I am imaginging you are talking about the ZFX, correct?

The ZFX is to be added (mixed into) your Z5 or Z2 and eliminate the use of Z1 altogether.

Here is how Z1 and Z5 are to be applied.
1) Dawn wash to start off clean
2) A layer of Z1
3) A layer of Z5 (or Z2) which ever you prefer.
4) Top that off with Z6 spray and wipe

Here is how ZFX and Zaino are applied.
1) Dawn wash to start off clean
2) Mix your one ounce of Z2 (or Z5) with 4 drops of ZFX
3) Apply that mixture to the car.
4) Top that off with Z6 spray and wipe
5) Repeat 3 & 4 as many times as you please

Wow!! If your not a rocket scientist, you may want to Dawn your car again, and use NXT!!!!

If you think you need to be a rocket scientist to follow the Zaino directions above that explains why you are still using NXT.

I got to many things going on in my life to worry about how many drops of Z something to mix with ZFX or whatever, and to remember to use Z2 or Z5 before or after Z1 or ZFX or whatever. And remember if you use to much, you will have a greasy finish.

You my friend need a life. You have way to much time to polish your car!!
