Are you guys putting Carnuba on top of Aj. I used to do it with Klasse.
I ordered my Prime Strong and Aj yesterday and I was planning to top it with 1Z WaxpolishSoft.
(Menzerna FPII+Prime Strong+Aj+1ZWPS)
TIA

On my own personal car I top with carnauba. My car is a light color and I can`t say that I really noticed a difference by topping, but the extra protection couldn`t hurt. If your car is light colored, most here will agree that there is no need to top AJ.

Are the non-toppers former Klasse toppers? My car is silver.

I topped with Klasse and now I top with AJ. Dark colors, imho, benefit with a wax topper. Light colors.......I think it`s more the sacrificial protection that wax offers that I like. The look alone isn`t really worth it, as AJ is just fine on its own.
If I am not mistaken WSP has cleaners/abrasives in it. I would check to be sure before topping it over AJ.

Unless someone specifically requests a topper, I leave AJ as is.

At one time I topped the Klasse Twins with carnauba but the last few years I have not. So far on my silver car I have only topped AJT with more AJT. I will probably try topping it with OCW when the weather warms up.

I "top" AJ with AJT too .... give it a refresher application every 6 weeks or so.
Super easy, and looks great on my grey metallic.

1Z has a new Glanz Wax with Carnuba that is non-abrasive.

Welcome to Autopia, First_Place.
I read that a new Glanz formula was coming on the 1z usa website.
Although it may not contain abrasives, it may be heavy in solvents and could still "compromise" AJ.
Guess we`ll see when it gets here.

Yes, welcome.
I guess I have the old GW since I have had it for several years.
I was gong to top with WPS to give the look some depth, which is what I thought the Klasse application needed.
Are you guys telling me that Aj not only protects with a great looking finish, but that the finish also gives the paint depth?

I was planning to use Sonus AG/AS to help the Aj last.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have become partial to the 1z products. Have you considered using the Metallic Wax? Topped with the new Glanz it should give a great result. These also will give you good protection that lasts. If you use a mild wax friendly shampoo you could possibly refinish with a detail spray and microfiber towel instead of doing a full detail the next time you are due. Hope this helps.
