I know with Zaino the more coats you put on the better the shine gets. Is wax the same way? Or is putting on more than one coat just a waste of time?

 

I've never used the high end wax, but the normal stuff doesnt look any better layered. So pretty much a waste of effort. ALso, Zaino goes on so much easier and rubs off so much easier than wax, I'd rather suffer the first time Zaino aplication, and then have a quick 45 minute process to do once a month than waxing every few months.

 

When I used to have my wife's car detailed at a detail shop, they used to ALWAYS strip the old wax before the new detail. He said that it would look dull and hazy if you layered wax on top of itself. Of course, this allowed them to charge me for more time.......hmmmm.

My vote, waste of time.

Also, put coats 4 and 5 of Zaino Z2 (with coats of Z6 before and between) yesterday. 90 minutes start to finish, so the 45 minutes a coat looks pretty good as an estimate. And I took my time, spraying the Z6 on a panel, buffing the panel, polishing the panel with Z2, then moving to the next panel, etc.).

 

Yeah. it's about 30 to put on the Z2 and buff it of, and another 15 on the Z6 by misting and wiping. I was very happy with it and felt that once the first part is done, Zaino is way better than wax. It also lasts a good 4-6 months so once a month a layer to maintain it should look awesome.

 

Thanks for the responses guys.

I knew everyone would say how much better Zaino is. I know it is better, but I happened to have a lot of Mequires liquid gold left over and I'm not about to let that go to waste.

As soon as I use the rest of it up I have every intention of picking up the Zaino products.
