Pinnacle souverin over Zaino Cs

Does anybody have experience with using a waxy over zaino cs. I want to use it for looks and not protection. I feel a few layers of z5 and cs should cover the protection. Just like the look of carnuba & the durability of sealants. Any suggestions for a top wax for jet black.

Should work really well. I've seen Souveran over Optiseal in person and it looked nice and did not streak. Optiseal is the optimum version of Zaino Clear Seal. Make sur eto let the Clear Seal sit for an hour or so before topping it with Souveran. Post pics when you're done.

not a good idea, ive done this before. Souveran does not have good clarity and distorts and mutes flakes. I will ruin the look of the Zaino. When topping a wax over sealants, make sure they are in the correct range of looks.

Use a wax with more clarity to pair with Zaino.

I've seen this combo in person with Opti-Seal and it looked really good. I suggest the OP give it a try before he dismisses it.

I agree, no matter what anyone says always test it out for urself. Even if the objective assessment is correct, you still have your own subjective assessment (most important)

Yeah, its very short lived, but eck, its soo easy to use, if you got an extra 10 minutes, skip the weekly quick detailer, and use Souveran.
