Default How Do I Switch??

After reading many positives about NXT, I'm ready to give it a try.
I've used Zaino for about a year and a half with good results on all three of my rides, but if I can save a few bucks, buy it locally and get results from NXT I'm in.

Question is- - - I've got several coats of Zaino now, what if any prep do I need to do to try the NXT?

NXT has some cleaners and abrasives in it, so if you haven't applied Zaino in quite a while, it may remove the rest.

*I* would probably use a light polish (Klasse AIO or Menzerna FP) or use something like 3M Wax and Adhesive Remover or 70/30 Alcohol/Water. AIO would most likely leave more protection than NXT, so you might not get a very valid durability test.

Before switching to NXT read the back label warning about getting it on plastic moldings etc. If it follows the usual pattern for these warnings then you might start to see white streaking on body moldings that get the wax on it.

Does Zaino warn about application to plastic moldings?
