Default If this happened....

I just had a thought.
since Carnuba wax has better shine
and a lot of people apply Carnuba Wax (such as GoldClass) on top of their zaino/blackfire......
is it possible that i apply Zaino or blackfire as a base and apply Goldclass, then apply zaino/blackfire on top ~~~.
then....does it last as long?? or ... the wax melt at high temperature and screw up the sealant on top of it??

if it's stupid..please don't laugh at me.

It's not stupid, it just won't do much for the looks of your car. At first, it might make it a bit shinier but over time the carnauba will yellow and you won't appreciate the color of your paint or your Zaino shine.

First off, Meguiars Gold Class is NOT a carnauba wax, it is a cleaner wax polymer. Second, since Gold Class is a cleaner wax it will strip off what ever you apply it on TOP of.

Zaino will not stick to ANYTHING except bare paint, so it would be throwing your money away to try to put it on top of something else.

The actual carnauba wax (about 5% actual content in most waxes) does nothing for the shine, carnauba wax is not shiny, what is shiny is the oils and silicones that are blended and added to the wax for it to be able to shine. It makes for an unstable mixture and when heated, yes it does melt on the surface.

Personally, I do not think carnauba waxes offer more gloss, just an oily look which is not clear enough for my tastes........

Many people do not even know what they are applying and are constantly going round and round in a cycle of applying one thing on top of another and all the while removing the coat they put down some time ago. MOST all carnauba waxes are cleaner waxes, the few exceptions would be Mothers makes a carnauba wax with not cleaners (a real pain in the rear to remove) and so does P21S......

wow ~
i didn't know that....
i am using GoldClass, but it's not really easy to removie..
takes me at least 20~30 min to remove usually~

hum ~
i just know that i can't get Blackfire anywhere in Canada
i have to do phone order and they will ship to Canada(i live in BC)
but it will charge 25% for tax...which is really expensive for me....
anyone know if i want blackfire...is there anyother way i can get it
without spending so much extra money??

if not, guess i should call Mike the Canadian Zaino distrubitor then
