can you put NXT on top of Zaino?

I Zaino'd my car 6 weeks ago and want to take advantage of the warm weekend approaching for one more 'waxing' (I know not a wax) before the long hard winter sets in. ...my Zaino is almost gone and there's enough for one full coat, maybe 2....but I have almost a full bottle left of the NXT, so I was thinking I would finish up the Z2 and then put on a top coat of NXT....any thoughts on this?

thanks

probaby okay, but might wash off even faster. NXT doesn't adhere
too well on anything imho. easy on but much more easy off (wear)...

how about getting a bottle of Epic and using that instead.

come on...it took me long enough to figure out Z 2 vs 5 vs 6 vs 7 vs 8 vs 10!!! .....I don't think I want to jump ship now. Zaino is so shiny slick and long lasting. I am still waiting to hear from someone's experience with both or see some side by side comparson of Epic vs Zaino...why Epic?

Yes you can. Of course if you apply it by PC, it will probably also remove all of what's left of Zaino since NXT has some cleaning power as well.

That's what I did when I jumped ship from Zaino to Meguiars (NXT Tech Wax).

I've done both. Recently did Zaino Z2 and I've been using Epic. Epic dries fast, and is super slick. The type of slick you put a bottle or towel down on the bonnet and it just slides off slick. It's too early to say whether Epic is more durable, but I love Epic.

wow....so Epic is even slicker than Zaino? If that is the case then I might just try it.

For me, slickness is what I just judge a 'wax'( I know, not a wax) by, and water beading...as far as richness of shine or depth, as long as it is shiny is fine by me, but slickness is what I look for...Zaino stays pretty slick (with weekly Z6'ing) and beads well for about 3 months..anyone have longterm experience with Epic? NXT was great, but only for about 3 weeks and then the qualities degraded

umberto- you can slicken it up with Prima Slick (it's a QD). i like using
Griots's SprayOn wax over Epic and NXT. extremely slick feel and
nice deep shine.
