THAT'S RIGHT, MY MCS IS Bi !!!!!

Bi-waxual!
Well I got bored on my day off and decided to use some nxt, and I did what no wax enthusiast has done before: Put a layer of NXT over a three week old layers of ZAINO! Yea It turned out...

AWESOME!!

I have officially done the worst deed imaginable to Zaino lovers. Now I have the best of both worlds, and I kinda like it! Pics from my photoshoot this afternoon/evening will be posted some time tommorow. I tried to put leaves on my car to keep with the "fall" feeling, they kept "falling" off my bonnet!

ALSO NEW DETAILING PRODUCT THAT IS DA BOMB:
Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner. It is rediculous. It cleans your wheels in nothing flat, has no acids and/or is not acidic, and leaves a protective layer of Teflon on my wheels. I cleaned them two days ago and only have a few specks of brake dust on them and I have JCW Brakes! You seriously need to get this stuff!

I just have to ask, would another coat of Zanio done the same thing.

I'm a NXT waxer, so no flaming, just want to know why it turned out so well.

If this does really work, I may get some Zanio for next spring.

Well I may anyway just to try it.

Well, I had around 12 coats of Zaino on my bonnet, and a good buffing with NXT "obliterated" it--such that I only use NXT. In essence, I had NXT over Zaino about 2 years ago!!

I've seen all kinds of pictures about how good Zaino looks, but I've got just as many pictures of NXT'd MINI's that look just as good, and with a lot less coats.

Looking forward to seeing your pix---but first, here are some of mine from various detailing clinics I've held.

Using ONLY NXT

I agree with you on that wondering whether zaino wouldh've done the same thing. I find that zaino made the color look deep as in this pic:


But I found that NXT makes it alot more glossy/reflective. I don't know maybe it's just me.
