no its ok to do that, just make sure you strip the prevouis wax before you apply the new wax, or the two may not interact with each other

Yep, not a problem, but do strip the wax first by washing with Dawn liquid 2-3 times.

I dont know why you would want to use pinnacle after using zaino....but try it out. Pinnacle has a very nice shine...wet look, oily. It also has no durability.....if your car is not garaged you will be waxing once a month or even twice a month. You have to strip zaino down.....and dawn will not strip zaino.....you have to use isopropyl alcohal to strip zaino.......

I never have used zanio yet. I was just giving an example. But do you think zanio is better than pinnacle? I love pinnacle right now. And yes my car is garaged.

Bill is correct. You need to use alcohol to strip Zaino.

But to your real question, changing waxes does not affect anything one way or another. Different strokes for different folks regarding carnuba routes vs. Zaino. All are good but once you choose a course you have to use that protocol unless you switch totally. i.e. no carnuba on top of Zaino, not Zaino on top of carnuba, no Klasse in the middle of the Zaino series, etc.

I'm not going to comment on which is better. I have chosen the Klasse/Blitz Carnuba route and have invested my $100 on that. More often than not, "they" say that Zaino is a little too reflective (as opposed to "deep") on black cars. I like "rich and deep."

Have any of you guys tried BuffaloMilke? I just ordered it. I've been using Zymol, but I heard that this stuff is suppose to be the "new" shit out that works really well. Any experiences?

"TS Clear Coat" -- I don't know why the bloody thing is so hard to find in the search engines. They use it on F14 fighter jets. My wife's car is a '95 Burgundy color Altima. The paint has a clear coat.

The car sits outside in the sun a lot. I like the look of a good wax on it -- deeper than Zaino, but it is just too much trouble to keep waxing every 2-weeks to a month to keep it in good shape.

So, decision time.... What to use?

I asked my buddy about an Acrylic/Synthetic that would last, but would have that "thick" drippy look. I asked about the Klasse, but he said there was something that I should try.

We have had the "TS Clear Coat" on my wife's car for about 6-months, and it still looks perfect.

Here is the link:

TS Clear Coat Site comments:

Easy to apply, provides real protection for over six months!

"Unconditionally guaranteed and endorsed by the Consumer Research Bureau with proven test results to back up its claim of ultimate protection."

Everyone (here) just takes a pass on it, but if the Navy uses it to protect Multi-million dollar supersonic fighters that are subject to sea spray, Persian Gulf heat, and other abuse, how bad can it be?

Every check out the price tag on a jet paint job? Try driving our car (with rocket motors) at 600 miles an hour and see how long our paint lasts
