I've got about 3 coats of zaino on the car and am not overly impressed. I was going to try something else, but should I just apply over the zaino or wash with something to get the zaino off? It will probably be either Meguiar's or Turtle Wax.

What look are you going for? are you will to give up some of that "wet look" for durability(sp?) (5+ months) or minimal protection (3 months) and still have that "wet look"?

mostly looks that will make it a deeper wet, I don't mind doing it more often because it doesn't take long to do.

Over the counter Megs #26

On-line Nattys Blue wax
View attachment 472578
Here's what I would do
1. wash
2. Claybar
3. rewash (<-optional)
4. Paint cleaner
5. Polish OTC Megs ScratchX net Klasse All-in-one
6. Megs #26 or Poorboys Nattys Blue
Remember steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 only have to be done about once every 6 months. Also what kills wax for the most part is people not mixing car soap (or using dishwashing liquid) in the proper ratios. If the dirrectios say 1 oz for 1 gallon of water then thats what you use. By making it stronger it eats away at the wax. Good luck and post your results.

I use Megs and recommend that.

Very good point about the car wash soap. Very true

I use Turtle Wax Platinum liquid wax. It shines great and is easy on, easy off.

Today I used Turtle Wax Ice and a coat of the spray detailer....wow. Never thought it would beat the Zaino. But, it probably is a different story on other colors. Not too shabby
