    Wettest, glossiest...

    Just looking for some ideas as to what wax over Zaino will give the wettest, deepest sheen? I really like Zaino, but sometimes (as others have commented) it has a slightly sterile look to it. I just want to put a wax topper on it to see for myself in person if it really kicks it up a notch.
    The car is a titanium gray color by the way.
    Thanks!

    Also, I realize the wax won`t last as long as the Zaino, but how many re-applications (not layers) of wax over time can I do before I need to strip it all and do the Zaino again.

    That`s a good question Space.

    I was wondering the same thing.

    If you put carnauba over Zaino, and re-apply it faithfully, won`t the wax protect the Zaino (or whatever) underneath it? If this is the case, frequent applications of a top coat should keep the car looking top notch.

    What do the experts think?

    Keep reapplying until you need to do some swirl removal. The carnauba takes the brunt of the attack and zaino will still be there. I don`t use zaino myself, but s100 and souverian work very well over sealants.

    Heck yes! Poorboy stuff is so versatile. Natty`s / S100 will work great. Layer first of course :-p

    So, you want WET?

    If you want to see a very wet red SC430 look at my pics in this link.

    Deanski`s Red SC430

    This was accomplished with WG sealant and EX-P on top of the WG, then QD with Megs new Last Touch.

    Not too shabby
