Slightly dampen the applicator pad, it makes spreading the Zaino more evenly and thin much easier.

3M SMR uses oils and fillers. Dawn removes them. What's the point?

The 3M has oils, but it is also mildly abrasive. The oils aren't what you use it for. You use it for its mild abrasiveness. You just have to remove the excess oils after so your Zaino will adhere properly.

Here is what the final thing SHOULD look like, and I haven't even got around to putting Z2 on it since the 3M and Z5!..

That picture doesn't show a whole lot being that it's not in direct sunlight to show any imperfections.....

I've never found 39009 to be abrasive at all either by hand or PC. IMO Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover is much more versatile and contains no fillers.
