Default Oily blotches with Z-6

Was using Z-6 for the first time yesterday and I kept on getting these oily-looking splotches, especially on the hood and truck (where I probably noticed it more because of the angle). "Oily-looking" is actually a rough description. Sorta hazy-looking splotches with that diffused rainbow effect that you get with oil. Anyone else encounter this? I know I'm probably doing something wrong, but can't figure out what it is.



Also, what does the consensus seem to be on how many coats of Z-5 you need to put on before the swirls on black paint begin to disappear?

You are not rubbing the Z6 out completely. You need to mist it on lightly and completely buff it out. Don't do it in the direct sun or the Z6 will dry out before you can get to it. Takes a few turns of the towel.

Like it says in the instructions, if it dries on ya and gets splotchy just reapply a little Z-6 and start over.
