Black T/A stays in the garage with a cover on it. VERY few miles each year, never in the rain. Used the Zaino process on it several years ago and have just used the Zaino gloss enhancer after washing since. Paint has no/few swirls and is in excellant shape. My Zaino supply has separated into liquid and solid and shaking it doesn't make it useful again so I'm thinking about just going to an over the counter product.

Do I need to strip off the Zaino before going over it with another product? Would Mequires NXT Tech 2.0 be a good one step wax for my situation?

That would be fine. No need to strip anything off.

I use NXT 2.0 over my zaino for my final step or for my wax process.. Works great

I usually do 2 coats of z2, 2 coats of z5 then nxt 2.0 last.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try.

If I was in your situation, I would probably use a good carnauba wax. If you have a Harley Davidson dealership nearby, spend $15 and pick up a jar of S100 wax. I think you'll be very pleased.

I always thought carnuba wax looked great, especially on black cars but basically washed right off after a few washings? Is there a carnuba that actually lasts?

ZaneO

Yes, carnauba is typically much shorter lived than a quality sealant, but I guess I assumed longevity wouldn't be overly important for you since your TA gets very few miles. Something like S100 is usually good for about 6 washings and normally takes about 20 minutes to apply and remove for a new coat.
