Am I UNDERapplying Zaino?

Started the detail yesterday. I mixed 1 ounce Z5 w/ 5 drops of ZFX, and applied after Dawn'ing and claying. All the tips I read about applying Zaino said to go very light, so I did. I found I was able to get two coats of Z5, with enough left over for a third if I had had enough time. Obviously, this will vary some with the size of the car, but we should all be in the same boat here. Am I applying it too lightly??? I still plan on following up with at least two coats of Z2, plus Z-CS and Z8.

You are probably applying just the right amount. 1oz gets me 2 coats and I always think I go too heavy (and compensate by letting it dry longer).

Give the zCS ~24 hours before applying the z8, that's a tip Sal Zaino gave me.
