static electricity? polishing.
static electricity? polishing. ok, so after yesterdays 3 coats of z5, today I was to do my 3 coats of z2 
)
I washed the towels last night.. took them out this morning and went to start the z2. When it came to buffing off the first coat, I could feel the hair on my arms standing on end while buffing the hood.
This sort of continued the entire time I buffed the car for the remainder of the three coats. The only thing I notice is the car doesn;t feel as smooth when I rub my hand across the paint.. my hand just doesnt slick right across it nearly as well as it did on the buick when I tested zaino on it
The buick and jeep are the guinea pigs
Just wondering if the static somehow interfered with the zaino?
I did palmolive it, clay barred it, then used z7 car wash on the car.. then did the z5, z2 then z whatever the detail spray was.
Thanks..

Caring for Mitts and Towels
- Wash on the Hot/Cold setting
- Use Liquid Detergent only w/ no bleach and NO fabric softener
- Add distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle for added softness and soil release
- Rinse twice
- Dry towels on low heat w/ no fabric sheets (to prevent static build-up)

chuckles. Seems I overkilled on the static cling hehe.
haha now ill have to go buy new detergent.. liquid tide w/ no bleach tide 4 lyf!! )
Know how the static affects the polish ?
Should I pretty much redo the entire process? sigh to think) feels like I mayhave wasted 2-3 ounces of the stuff due to static cling I guess ILl just wait a coupe months and do it then.
The car looks really nice. I just noticed the slick feel of it wasnt as pronounced as the last time I did it.

Alright, sooo I have a sheeeetload of charged static towels that need to be rewashed
What do I do about a supercharged static paint/polish coat? The car is attractuing dust n stuff like mad. If I repolish ie add another coat or two will that take care of it? Or do I need to go and do the dawn, clay n z5 z2 z6 process again?
thanks.
