Wax over Zanio

I see it that it is recommended to use Souveran over AIO. What about using it over Zanio? Would it work and would it be worth doing? Anybody do this?

I've topped Zaino with Blitz and P21S. It looked great. I don't know what it will do to the long-term durability of the Zaino, though, because carnuba waxes contain solvents which may degrade the Zaino. I just don't know.



Of course, once you apply a carnuba topper, you'll have to wait until it wears off before applying more coats of Z. There is a theory that a subsequent Dawn wash will remove the wax but not the Zaino. Personally, I am skeptical about that theory. I think the Dawn will certainly degrade the Zaino, even if it doesn't remove it entirely. In the end, a good rule of thumb seems to be that once you apply a wax topper, you won't be able to apply more Z for another 3 months or so.
 
It's been my experience that a carnuba product will eventually wear the Z off the car faster than just time itself.



You will see a dulling effect (film) by using Dawn on a regular basis over Z as opposed to using a proper Z-7 wash. Unless applied incorerctly, the wear on Z should be no different than using any generic car wash (without wax).



Your results may vary.
