Can I put Colinite(sp?) over another carnuba and still get lasting protection

[PHI447]

Hi all. Long time lurker few posts, I just like to read.



I have a 2005 BMW 3 series silver in color. I have 4 coats of Z2P on it then got bored and thought I would try a nuba over it. So there are a few different nubas on it, #16 and NB. I want to put a heavy wax on it for winter like Colinite without having to start over by removing anything. If I put the Colinite on the Nattys Blue will it still bond and last long?

Gee thanks for all the help.

3 layers of zaino plus a high durability wax (#16) plus a beauty wax (Natty's blue)... i think that it has enough durability to last you thru winter anyways. But if your insistent on going the IW route, I'd just do a coat of AIO to clean off everything and do a coat or two of IW. It should take you and hour and a half max to do AIO/IWx2 and that should last you all winter. I haven't used IW myself yet, but i would think that alot of its durability characteristics comes from it bonding with a clean surface, not one that has a few layers of product on top of it.

It's always been my experience that a wax will only last as long as the least durable wax underneath it. Of course others may have different experiences. I would personally do what Neothin suggests and clean it all off then add a couple coats of the IW. That will take you through the winter easily.

I'd try washing with dawn to remove the NB and then top with Collinite myself

Gee thanks for all the help...

Well, I would much rather have been online answering Qs like this than cleaning up leaves



Yeah, you can just put the Collinite over your existing wax. or at least it worked fine for me.



Last winter I had #16 on my wife's A8. I put 476S over top of it with just a wash and spot-clay. Held up just fine. I plan to do the same thing this winter.



But I dunno how well it'd work over something like Souveran ;
