Thanks ! And thanks for all the help you have been on the forum. As I always tell people, Even though I am a Zaino fan, Klasse, Zymol, Blitz Wax -- They are all good products.. Just make sure you keep up on the process when needed and wash your cars weekely to maintain them.

RE Buffing marks and Towel Gestures: I am having the same problem now with my klasse. I think it may have to do with the weather that I applied the product in. It wasn't warm enough. Depending on where you live, the same may be true for you.


As for ZFX. It's supposed to speed up the cure time of z2, so that you can apply layers back to back in the same day without having to wait 24hrs in between.

Hey, awiner, nice job! Looks great!
