I am a little concerned. I just used Zaino for the first time about 6 months ago. I was in shoick at how many of the swirl marks came out. I followed the directions and ended up putting 2 coats of Z5 on. I haven't done anything other than wash it for the last 6 months and now the paint is almost rough, instead of smooth? The car sits in a garage collecting dust for the most part. The water still beads up, but the paint just feels rough except for the bottoms of the car. Any suggestions?

 

This is common for synthetic products, it does not mean your do not have protection, some Z-6 will restore that slick as ice feel, but if the dust is thick I would wash your car first.

 

What makes it rough? is it zaino deterorating? how rough is it?

 

I was thinking what could have happened, when I realized something. The car only has 50k miles and this just happened all of a sudden. I was painting the rear end with Black Spray paint in the garage. There is no paint on the car, but maybe the fumes somehow settled on the car? Only the top parts of the car are rough. Do I just need to Zaino the car again? Or is there something else I should do? I am not real familiar with car appearance techniques

 

Any time you paint in an enclosed space the over spray will settle on the top parts of the car. You will have to clay bar the surface to remove the paint (you can not always SEE over spray but you can FEEL it) and then re-Zaino...

 

I think as Kevin said the "roughness" that you feel is from a little overspray, in my post above I was talking about the different "feel" of oil waxes compared to synthetic waxes.

 

Thank you! I knew something had to have happened. I do have the claybar, so that will get rid of the overspray? That is great news.

Yes, clay bars where originally invented for over spray removal.

 

Oh ok, yeah that's overspray
