I recetly bought som Z3, Z fx addetive and some Z8 protect

polished the car up with the Zfx and Z3 and it came up mint.

However, when i used the Z8 i read the instructions about not letting it dry and all that but when i tryd it it just cept smearing! i could get it so i looked good when you looked at it straight but then from the side or an angle it would look smeared again?

Any suggestions?

Are you using microfibre cloth? Are you wiping it off in straight lines aswell?

very very fine mist

only do small area at a time

make sure you shake bottle well

only use a clean microfibre towel and keep turning cloth

only do say third of bonnet at a time

half a door etc

do not apply in sun or onto hot surface

it must be wiped straight away

if you do get smears then just reapply and rewipe

you only need the finest amount
