Hi Guys,



I wax my car once a month with p21s carnuaba wax.



In between waxes after I've washed the car, can I use Zaino Z8?
 
I guess you could, but why?



I'm going to say that Z-8 is more like a spray sealant than a qd. I think of Z-6 as Zaino's qd. You probably won't get the best longevity trying to get the Z-8 to stick to a pure wax. Since you're using the P21S, I'd stick with a booster that actually contains carnauba like OCW or maybe the new Jeff Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett.
 
Sonus Detailing Spritz works well over P21S also - it has the same carnauba, I guess. But ya, if you already have Z8 definitely us it, you won't have any problems and it will look great.
 
My buddy at work said try 4 Star Ultimate Gloss Enhancer.



Which product do you think will give a better just waxed look, Zaino Z8 or 4 Star?
 
Since I have a full bottle of Z8 (courtesy of a customer), I guess I will find out how well it does over carnaubas. Seems to work very well over Detailer Pride's new sealant, FWIW.
 
Crystal Mist & QuickShine would be my choice over carnaubas. For some strange reason, I've only used Z6& Z8 over Z5/Z2 Pro purely for the fact that Zaino bonds best to Zaino.

I tried Z8 over RMG and Souveran and lots of coats of Crystal Mist and it streak so bad you could finger paint in it. I don’t think Z8 likes all the oils and fillers in RMG and PS that said Z8 looks great over Z2Pro and will enhance the appearance of UUP and for sealants is a great product. Not bashing Z8 but I won't use it over a carnuaba.
 
I have used Z8 over both S100 (P21S), and #16.... it works great, and really does add some gloss to the finish. I also once tried Z8 on it's own on half of the hood of my truck (as in, I polished with ZPC and just sprayed the Z8 instead of putting any kind of protectant on).... it lasted ~2-3 weeks from what I could tell.
