Polish v. wax question
I have numerous coats of Zaino and Rejex on my car, and I am very tempted to top it off with a coat of good carnuba wax. My question is: Can I apply a polymer polish over the wax at some later time, or will the wax have to be stripped off for the polish to bond properly?

It really depends on which carnauba wax you use. Some carnauba waxes are going to have a short life cycle, so provided you wait until its gone, you won't have any problems.

Polish -- Abrasive paste used to correct and polish paint. It helps to remove marring and swirls and prep for the sealant or wax of choice.
Cleaner -- A product using chemicals to clean paint and remove old waxes and sealants and prep for protection. Best used on paint in good shape.
Sealant -- A synthetic wax , these products can also have polishing and cleaning agents or just pure protection. Rejex is a pure sealant.
Waxes -- These products are often carnauba based and can also contain cleaning and polishing agents.

Fuzion is a hybrid wax with some traditional wax properties and the best European polymers. Its a tremendous wax and looks equally good, perhaps a bit wetter, than the sealant which made Wolfgang a recognized brand name.

No offense meant Scott but I love the marketing - "European polymers" or "German Engineered polymers". I could describe the polymers I formulate as European but made in USA
A polymer is a synthetic chemical, chemical Science has no political boundries
