Default Zaino: When is it gone?

About a year and a half ago, I did the "Zaino shuffle" on my wife's Honda Pilot. It came out nice, but I'd like to start using NXT on it now. I've been told that you normally have to go over your car with either 3M Surface Prep or rubbing alcohol to remove the Zaino (I've also heard that NXT will, in effect, dissolve it. Not sure that I buy that). Since it's been so long, do you think that there is any Zaino still on the finish or am I safe in using NXT over it without a prep?

Thanks!

Zaino doesn't last long. A week at most. That's why everyone that uses it is constantly re-doing it.

I waxed my coupe last week using NXT after washing with mcguires car wash and it looks great. I previously had Zaino on it and then Mothers Reflections. NXT is great.

Zaino will stay on for a while, not just 1 week.

Wash the car with Dawn soap, that stuff takes everything off.
