I have seen lots of posts where people use a "wax" after they do several coats of ZAINO (or other sealant).

My question is how do you then apply additional coats of Zaino over time once you have added a layer(s) of wax? (I assume it would not bond to the wax?)

I believe the answer is to strip it with either a paintwork cleanser or abrasively with polish and then start over.

Wax only last a month or so, several of my buddies use Wolfgang Fuzion as an enhancer and Z6/8 all the time

If you do use a nuba topper you will need to strip any wax before applying additional coats of Zaino.

This is why I stick with CS/Z8 or straight Z8 as my topper and do not bother with a nuba topper, especially since I found no advantage to the nuba topper.

Zaino is a great sealant for paint and offers alot of gloss and reflection. If you decide to top with a pure wax topper (like Souveran, Fuzion etc.) I would suggest using a paint cleansing lotion to remove all products once you feel they dropped off in looks and feel.

Zaino is certainly quite durable, one of the best, and you will likely also be able to recoat with the wax several times prior to removing them all as desired. Often times you will be able to keep the wax up also with spray wax booster products like Pinnacles Souveran Spray Wax.

It comes down to personal preference, and as Frank offered, Z8 is very nice on all sealants especially the Z line.

Why would you put wax over a Zaino product anyways, you can always finish off with the Z2 pro as your final process and you can add as many coats as you want , I just think that doing a sealant process then having to strip off product to add another product just sounds like wasted time to me.

Zaino products are all designed to work together, if you prefer to use a Carnuba wax of some sort I would stay with that product and not use any Zaino product then.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree with the others on not trying to get fancy by adding a topper to Zaino. If you want to use a Carnuba you would need to strip and then stick with that.

For me there is little to be gained in shine if you finish a well prepared car (using Zaino products) with Clear Sealant and Z8 Grand Finale.

Never seen an advantage topping Zaino with wax, although I have tried many wax toppers on Zaino over 15 years, all I found was they caused more dust and dirt pickup, but try it for yourself.
