Default Zaino user about to try NXT......

If I apply the NXT over my coats of Zaino, will the NXT remove the Zaino?? :confused:

From what I have heard there is a small amount of cleaners in NXT that will remove some, if not all of your Zaino. I would always recommend removing whatever wax/polish is on a car before switching to a different product. The most important part is always proper preperation.

It looked like it was removing the Zaino when I tried it. I would tell you don't waste your time but I will let you find out for yourself. No comparison. I went back to Zaino and have no regrets.

I applied it directly over my 15+ coats of Z5/Z2. IMO, it gives my AE red a richer and deeper look. Try it on a section and decide for yourself. You can always go back to Zaino if you don't like the results.

Try it on the wifes car first. Z5 is better for your Black Vette.

I have NXT on our Miata and it looks good - but not the Vette (ZFX+Z5).

I tried NXT on the wife's car first...that why I started using it on my Vette...looks great...and you can put it on and TAKE it off in a fraction of the time you use to spend doing the Zaino.....I like Zaino...but NXT is just as good...goes on easy, comes off easy...plus its alot less $$ then Zaino.

Zaino is OK..its just not worth the hassel and price :nonod:

Hey Dr. Ron, I do have one quick question, why are you changing? As I have complimented before, you vehicle looks great.

Long time Zaino user here, and I made the switch. I applied two coats right over my 20+ coats of Zaino with no problems. I have found that waxes of this quality are usually compatable. I also clayed my 99 Durango and applied two coats on it. I love the results on both vehicles. Don't forget the spray booster after your done, it is key to making the shine really pop. If you are like a lot of us, it will be a permanent switch. Good luck!!! :seeya

Thanks, & so does yours! I'm trying it for now. I've seen several posts w/ people loving it & raving about it! They're saying it's especially great for Black cars. We all know us Black car owners need all the help we can get! The main thing is it goes on & off faster than Zaino. Price is secondary. I always look to keep up w/ the current products....We shall see what happens when I get a chance to apply it. Maybe this Sat or Sun. I'll post results if I get to do it!
