Zaino Z8 crystal formation?

[TroyGLI]

I have noticed that after i apply Z8 to my car, couple of squirts per panel, i will get what feels and looks like salt crystals that form on my paint all over the car, some time later. You can feel them on the surface, and see them if you look really close. So, what i did was went around the car with the plush side of my microfiber, and wiped the car down again, after the initial spray and wipe with the Z8, no crystal formation. Well, today i did a Z7 wash with the Z8 wipe down afterwards but just with the inital spray and wipe, and sure enough about an 1 1/2 hours later the crystals were manifesting. They wipe off with no problem with a damp microfiber or Z6 wipe down. I guess the moral of the story is make sure you really wipe down your car really well after a Z8 application.

That's really weird I must say... did you shake the Z8 well before using it?

 

[TroyGLI]

Ryan, i shake it before using. My FK425 and Aquawax never exhibit this on the same car.

never had crystals but no matter how much and often i shake, every once in a while i'll get small red blobs.

What i'm thinking is that what ever is in Z8 must really be rubbed well into the surface of the paint, i've noticed how people also state that Z8 really glows the next day after application. These crystals would appear to confirm that, another words after applying this stuff, it's setting up for some time. If not rubbed/buffed well into the surface the crystals/ gloss enhancers what ever they are, just sit on top of the paint.

I have never had a problem with z8, but I had problems in the past with polishes that did this. What causes this?

Sounds like something is wrong with that bottle. Has it been frozen?

First it sounds as if you are be using too much product-Z8 is very concentrated so you use very little. Second, look inside the bottle with a flashlight and see if you can see any clumps floating. Third, give Sal a call- he may suggest adding some distilled water. It also may be a temperature issue if it was overly cold. In most cases using a damp towell will resolve issues from overapplication of Z8.

I know that it it very important that yo unot let Z8 dry on your car, you must quickly spread it around, then flip to a dry section of your microfiber, and buff to a rediculously glossy, deep, wet shine.

I have these same red blobs form on the outside of the spray nozzle, but never had them on my paint that I have seen.
