Default Zaino topped with Souveran Paste

Has anyone done this ? Was there any bonding issues ? Did it look wet ?
Thanks,
Fred

it can be done and without issue. Some say it adds to the looks others say not a huge difference. It certainly is bringing two of the best products together and nobody can be faulted for such a delicious combo. Try it and allow all your thoughts.

I have tried it and saw no noticable difference. IMHO you should use one or the other, they both look beautiful especially on dark colors. Zaino is known for its great looks and durability. Pinnacle is known for its great looks and ease of application.

You will have bonding issues when you go to reapply Zaino if you do not remove the PS first.

I agree about using one or the other.
I believe Jim Z06 uses souveran, and you certainly can't fault his results.
He does have a custom paint job though.
It's Z for me.

I use them both, z first then souveran over top after some curing time. on black i will say its noticeable, never done a red car like that but other colors it isnt worth it.

Thats true,
I have Zaino on my corvette now and I have always used Zaino on my vettes and I am happy with it but I do use Souveran paste on my Mustang as a topper for Klasse a.i.o. / 4star upp with great results. I appriciate your input.

I have tried the Zaino topped with Souvern paste. I didn't think it was worth the effort. I would use one or the other.

I always top Zaino with Souveran paste. For a red or black car it is amazing. I do not do it on lighter color customer cars as I really cannot tell much of a difference.
