Thanks. I used ZAINO fine scratch/swirl polish. Stuff works great!!! Kinda hard to take off though.
I also use the ZAINO on the HOSS!!!

Truck looks clean. Next time try Adam's Polishes. Much easier to apply and remove.

Very nice! Did you use the FX additive? I didn't have any trouble taking mine off after 30 minutes.

No, I didn't use the FX additive. Have you used it before?? Just wondering if it makes a difference in shine?? Thanks for the kind words guys!!!!

Yes, I used it. I don't know if it does anything for the shine, but it is supposed to make it dry quicker and come off easier. When I did mine I put one coat of Z5, then Z6, then a coat of Z2, then Z6 again. Both polishes came off very easy. I wonder if yours might not have been fully dry and you were just moving it around. I think the claybar helped quite a bit too.

No, I had the polish on one side of the truck and by the time I had both sides done, It was more than 30 minutes. The polish was on the truck for more than 30 minutes, which is the minimum it should stay on.
I used the Z5 for fine scratches/swirl marks. Worked out VERY well!!!!
