I washed with dawn, then clayed and washed with Z7. Then I applied the Z1 and the Z5. The car is drying in the sun as we speak. Do I have to wait 6 hours now before I apply Z2 or another coat of Z6? It is almost 90 degrees here today so wouldn't it set up faster? I thought I would be able to get a couple of coats on today. On a side note after claying and rewashing I used the Z6 before applying Z1. My car was the smoothest I have ever seen, and I didn't even have any wax on it yet. I'm really excited to see how it looks after a couple of coats of Z2 and Z5.

 

You can Z-6 anytime, but you need to wait to let the coat cure before adding another coat of Z-5 or Z-2 polish. At 90 degrees 2-3 hours should be OK.

The ZFX accelerator additive will reduce drying time and has ZERO curing time, allowing up to 3 coats back to back a day.

I always use the Z-6 before I polish too. It makes sure the surface is spot free, with no water spots or anything else.
