I just finished appling my Zaino. This stuff is great!! My question is has anyone tried putting a coat of wax over the top of the Zaino as a protectant?
Zaino and wax not the normal question

Why would you want to do that? You couldn't apply more Zaino over the wax.
Zaino is a synthetic protectant that is much better than conventional waxes.
You can always apply more Zaino.

Thanks Jim,
But I have read that Zaino is not a protectant. This is why I ask the question.
One more question,
Has anyone used the excelarator? Any difference in the effect? Just looking for a way to not make this an all day event.

The ZFX added to my shine. I have about 4 coats of Z2 + ZFX over about 50 coats of straight Z5 & Z2. I think each coat adds a little but I believe I'm at the limit. Car looks fantastic.
You MUST use very sparingly. Thin is good. I can do my entire car with about 3/4 oz of the combo (Z2/ZFX)

50 coats your a nut
Thanks for the info guys, I think I need to buy the accelerator, the waiting just bugs me. Looks great though, I don't think the shine Zaino gives can be beat.

Tabasco,
50+ Coats!!! WOW!!!
Just curious...does this much wax add "dead" weight to the car? Is it possible that too many coats would increase 0-60 times?
Please let me know. Thanks!

The thickness of the Zaino layers, even 50 layers, should be very thin indeed - probably much, much less than a thousandth of a inch.
I can't imagine the thickness and resultant weight to be anything of any significance. You apply very little to begin with, and then you remove most of the dried haze afterwards.
I think this is similar to asking if going to the bathroom would decrease one's 0-60 times.
And in this case the weight difference would be much less, I'm betting less than an ounce.

I have used about 3 bottles of a variety of Z's. That's about a pound and a half. I eat more than that for lunch.
I truly believe each coat gives additional luster, but as I said earlier, I think I'm at the limit. Sal Zaino told me to drive the car and wash it occasionally to remove a slight amount. The wind friction from driving must remove some of the wax, I don't know.
But I will tell you this car looks like a wet pool of blue water. It's phenomenal.
