Carnauba after Zaino

Is it a bad idea to put on a layer of Carnauba wax after Z'ing? If not, what carnauba wax would you guys recommend for Brilliant Silver?

Not needed.... Zaino creates a polymer bond that is far stronger than any carnuba.

All the times I hear of people topping Z with a caunuba, the results are always less tham desireable. From what ive been told, they more or less cancel each other out. The carunuba mutes that highly reflective surface, and the zaino prevents the carunuba from having that deep look of carunubas.
I personally love the look of Zaino, and find no need to tamper with it in any way! I find Z wet and deep anyways so....

I agree, no need to put carnuaba. Plus adding carnuaba will inhibit further Z layers to bond. Why not just add another layer of Zaino!

I have not heard any adverse effects of topping Klasse with carnauba though. Maybe you could do another vehicle with them.

Yea, that's what I used to do with my car. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my friends' cars. Sheesh, if they only knew what kind of bargain they're getting when I do their cars for free. Thanks for the replies guys.
