Zaino Residue

How do I remove the fine zaino residue? Do I need their final step spray? Or am I applying too much zaino?

99/100 times it would be way too much Zaino. I heard a damp towel or some Z6 works well.

Maybe someone else has a better idea?

You may have used too much .. I just did this over the weekend and didn't have any residue ... I think what Atorak said is the way to go .. a damp cloth or Z6 if you have it ..

When you apply also use little pressure(scrubbing wont make it any more effective), no more then the weight of your hand. When you take it off should be as easy as dragging a cotton towel across the surface.

I zaino'd my one this past Saturday and noticed residue the next day. I used Z6 but I guess I didn't get all the stuff off as it was sunny and didn't notice it. I sprayed some more Z6 on Sunday and used a cotton towel to get the rest off. I can't believe how awesome this stuff is!

You must be using too much Zaino if you have residue. You must use less than you think you need. I can hardly tell the wax is on the car when I apply Zaino. I put on three or four really thin coats. I think several thin coats make it shine way better than one thick coat.
Zaino is some work so you must really be into detailing your car if you are going to use it.
