Default Zaino & water marks

Ok I think I must be doing something wrong. I have gone through the clay bar, Z5 and Z2 process as per the instructions (with the gloss coat in between). However, I have found that once the car has stood overnight and the dew has settled then dried off in the sun, I have lots of small water marks on the car. I get he same effect if it rains on the car then dries off naturally. With the previous wash/wax combo I used I did not get this problem.

When using the Z5 & Z2, I have left it till it is completely dry before buffing off, can any give me some advice on what I may be doing wrong (yes I am using the ZFX additive in the polish)

All Zaino experts.

I have a little to add.

The first time I used Zaino (thanks Ianl SM2) I used Z1 with no ZFX (sold to CC). After I did the whole process, I never got water marks for some three months. I have just gone through the process again using ZFX, now I have water marks every time.

Could be Ian, I did think after having no rain for 4 weeks, and then now it has, it has been mixed with all the C**p in the air

I thought that the polish would prevent the c**p from sticking to the car (or it would wash off easily). It seems (to me) that the watermarks are much harder to remove than ordinary surface rubbish...The watermarks do not come off until I have polished the car again. one I have done that the car looks great...until the next morning or post rain
