Unhappy Zaino sucks now???

Well I got a new order of Zaiono at the begining of summer, I bought zfx z5 z2 and z6, I put on a couple of coats of z5 and it was harder than hell to get off, I then waited a couple of weeks and washed the car and I dried it with the leaf blower like normal and the water just wouldnt blow off like it usually does. And the car wasnt smooth to the touch either. So I fianally got a chance to zaino again last weekend, and it just wouldnt come off I tried taking off a small section and it left horrible streaks so I waited still streaky so I waited some more a total of like 6 hours and it still was streaky so I had to wash it to get them off, not even z6 would work, and again the car doesnt have that just waxed feel. So did I get a bad batch or should I try washing with dawn and start all over again? Another thing is during the spring I used 3m to get rid of the fine scratches, would that cause this problem? Ive read on hear that people were using them together though. Please help zaino experts out there, because I loved this product before and I love to wax my car.

Re: Zaino sucks now???

i would redo the entire process
dawn, clay bar will make it smooth again (if you didnt use that the first time), then your z5, z2, and z6 inbetween each coat of that
you might be applying too much if it's hard to come off
i left mine on for 2 hours at a time in the sun and it came off like nothing
i would also not reccommend doing that 3m stuff unless you do it, then use dawn, then do the zaino process
both of those would probably not mix well and might be leaving those streaks also

Dawn is for dishes. Leave it in the kitchen. It's bad for the rubber seals and weatherstripping.

Wash with Z7, clay, and try again. 3M SMR is LOADED with oils and fillers. Sal didn't tell me this until I found out the hard way. A wash with Z7 will remove the oils/fillers which Zaino will not bond to, as will clay. I would clay to remove whatever Zaino you put on there and start fresh.
