Default topper for zaino??

I have been thinking of topping Zaino with S100 or P21S. Is this a good topper, and could I still use the Zaino Quick Detailer. Just trying to start experimenting. Looking for deep shine and durability for my daily driven Formy.

I have tried it and it worked okay. Z6 will do fine with S100. Durability will be one to two months from S100.

I used S100. Don't expect miracles when topping Zaino. Some people have gotten great results, but I didn't notice anything too amazing.

ok, so if I wanted to see better results, or something different, strip the Zaino, and then re-apply with whatever I chose.......thanks for the help

Decide what wax you want. Try topping your Zaino with your wax first and see if you like it. If you don't, then you can strip the Zaino off and try something new.

I just topped my Zaino with S100 for the first time this weekend. I was not "blown away" with the difference. I took some pics, but they don't really show a lot - hard to see wax/polish results in most digital pics. Here's the link to the folder:
http://community.webshots.com/album/150907115cKThGu (ignore the first 8 pics)

The biggest difference I could see in the pics was by clicking on "Slide Show" and going back and forth (in the slide show) between the close up pics of the side:

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...56633006KvMcif
(what looks like smudges is really a reflection of my white t-shirt as I'm hunched to one side of the camera)

Not sure yet if I recommend this extra step to the Zaino process... :dunno:

Not really a good comparison picture on an area like that with the camera in a different position.

:shrug:
could be, I dunno.

Camera was *barely* in a different position. I kept it in the same spot, so any movement is from me moving it when trying to push the button...

Can you get the S100 at an auto parts house?

Yep, Harley stores carry it. Like I said though, don't expect any major changes when using Zaino and a topper. Other sealants act differently when topped. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combos and see what you like best.
