Flying Meatballs!

[Randy Rosenberg]

I've got at least a half dozen coats of Zaino Z2 on my SPF, and my meatballs stick - and stick well. I've done 140 on the front straight-away at T-Hill many times without a single edge of my static-cling meatballs even thinking about starting to peel off.

First I wipe down the side with Z6 to be sure it's clean of dust. Then I squirt liberally a mixture of 1/2 capful of Z7 car wash in a 16oz squirt bottle. I then peel the meatball off of the refrigerator (best place to store them) and apply it to side. If needed I squirt some more under the edges to ensure that the meatball is really slippery against the side of the car. This allows me to position it exactly where I want it. I then grab my roller squeegy and start rolling out the excess liquid and air bubbles, starting from the center and working towards the edge. I go all the way around twice to be sure. Then I wipe off the excess liquid with a dry polishing towel. Then do the other side. I let the car sit for at least 24 hours before driving it.

I have repeated this process for the past few years, and even applied my meatballs to my Mustang to go OT'ing at LSIR (noise limits prevent running my SPF there).

The key is using a good soap based solution, rolling out all of the bubbles and liquid, and letting it setup. Then storing them properly.

Hope this helps!
