P21S applied over Z2 Pro...Yes/No/Maybe

[imported_cp1]

Do I gain anything doing this? or is it a waste of time.



Thanks all :think:

I've never topped Zaino...but I don't have tons of use of it under my belt...most heavy Z users don't top it, from what I've seen.

It will slightly mute the famous Z reflections, but that's really it...



The carnauba oils can shorten the lifespan of Z2Pro, and you'll have to start from scratch if/when you want to add more layers of Z...



That's why most people stay away from topping it

Tried it a few times, skip it, not worth the time

Best experience is personal ones. Find a hidden area and do your own test. If it meets your personal goal of appearance, ignore our opinions.

From my experience P21S adds nothing to Z2PRO/Z8 combo and tends to haze under hot Virginia sunlight.

I did this at the beginning of last winter over Z2(non-Pro) figuring it would give me an extra sacrifical layer of protection plus I just needed to see how it looked...



It did mute the Zaino reflectivity on an 02' Reflex Silver Volkswagen GTI. I was kind of unhappy with how it made the car look. I seemed to get through the Winter alright protection wise but I don't doubt that it may reduce the lifespan of the Zaino.



I have also used it over Klasse AIO and with the AIO/SG combo with much better results on the same car. It added some extra warmth and even a bit of depth without muting the color so much but IMO the Klasse is a bit warmer to begin with.

Here is where I topped Z2pro with NB. It did not mute the zaino at all and looks very close in the pics, but in person I think it was a little wetter.



Try it out, you can always Dawn a carnuba off to apply more zaino in the future.
