I'm getting ready to order some new stuff and was wondering if you could combine these two? I've always used Zaino and I like it but I was looking at trying this or the Klasse. I've read that you can use the zaino over the Klasse but I wasn't sure about this one. My plan is to use the one step Menzerna followed by some Z5, Z2, and follow up with some Ps21 or other carnuba wax. thanks..
Zaino over Menzerna-1 step acrylic jacket?

Zaino will bond over Menzerna but one should perform a Z6 or Z8 wipedown prior to applying Z sealants.

Menzerna polishes are by far one of the top products out. I've yet to try the FMJ but I hear it's quite nice and very reflective as well.
Sure, you can Z5/Z2 then top with caranuba for added depth wet look. For light colors and light metalics I'd use the P21S. For darker colors, Poorboys Natty Blue. Or blow money on Souveran which when a side-by-side test I did in the past at a Poorboys detail meet, only one person could distiguish between Natty and Souveran.
Zaino being so highly reflective looks very nice on it's own. Or save some cash, use Poorboys EX-P and top that!
Then again, coats of Zaino sprayed with the new Z8 is just incredible! :drool:
So far, I have three coats Z5 and one coat Z2 Pro with Z8 between each coat on my new black Porsche (See Garage) and one last mist of Z8. Even the Porsche dealer is floored on how well and deep relective that black looks!
It all depends if your after longer periods between LSP's with depth or as a sacrificial layer of caranuba then do the sealant/wax. If you want very reflective look, stay pure sealant giving you the opportinity to add more rather than stripping wax first.
I'd test one area side-by-side to see which you prefer before doing the whole car. Once happy with the results, stick with it, maintain it and you'll be very happy not having to re-polish,seal,wax each and every time.
Good luck on the look you're attempting.

Both my cars are black, so maybe I'll try the Natty Blue instead of the PS21. What I like most about the Zaino on black is the way the water doesn't stick to it so it stays pretty clean even after the rain as well as the anti static part so I don't constantly have to dust it. If the FMJ is gonna do as good a job as the Zaino does or even better, maybe I'll try it. Anybody have an input on this?

Maybe it must be the rear Aerocup wing "Flying Taco" as it's called, but man, I get a crap load of dust back there. Other than that, the front gets very little. Sides, depending on how dusty it is seems OK. Now this is with Z5/Z2Pro and Z8 coats on top of the black.
I just got done misting more Z8 over it and put the indoor Porsche car cover on it as it's going to rain for days.
On a trip to Limerock with the Porsche, I had to enter the track area over dirt roads! :soscared: When I parked it, it went from black to basalt black! :furious: Once I got home, washed it and did another Z8 touch-up. Thank God the Zaino held up in preventing the dust to stick so washing it removed all the dust w/o marring the finish.
BTW, you'll be happy with the Nattys Blue! On dark cars is right up there with Souveran paste AND you're not spending big bucks for the same result! :grinno:
Good luck with your application! :xyxthumbs
