Big mistake. I've mixed the ZFX with the Z2 and I'm not ready to use it yet. It's raining now and I can't wash my car. The instruction said that after mixing with the Z2 or Z5 for 12 hours, it's pretty much useless at that point. Guess I only have 12 hours to use it once mixed. Wish the note was like before the mixing instruction so I know what's gonna happen.

wash your car in the rain... sounds strange, but it really is a great experience. and no problem taking your time- you dont have to worry about it drying too quickly!
wash in the rain and put it in the garage for the drying and zainoing steps.
i have done this before and it is a neat experience-

I had mixed some to do one car and found that after 2 applications I still had some left. Not wanting to waste it, I was going to put a coat on a different car. It was getting late and the other car had to be washed. I put the mixture in the refrig. and the next day it was fine.

I don't know if this is recommended, but figured that the cold might retard the curing process.

i was thinking about washing it in the rain but the wife insist we go shopping. damn... it was 9:30 at night after we got home. that pretty wasted everything.

interesting about putting it in the fridge. maybe i should try that.

Fridge is a seriously good idea. Most chemical crosslinking reactions are temperature sensitive. I smell a scientific test coming....

Refrigerator is a great idea!

I know from experience with 2-part paint mixtures where a catalyst is added for curing, refrigeration will double the workable life of the catalized paint, the problem that may occur is that the mixture will thicken. We need to go to the lab with this one. :

wonder why the zaino guy hasn't chime some light into this one.
