d4vid, you want to be sure that the products you are looking into do not have any cleaners in them as it will strip off the Zaino process you just applied. I usually steer people away from mainstream (Megs, Mothers, Turtle Wax, etc.) waxes on top of quality sealants. Sometimes you can take away from the finish if you use a lower quality product on top of a higher quality product. We carry a few carnauba waxes you may be interested in topping your Zaino with for additional depth, gloss, and protection. If you have any questions, let me know.

In general, natural carnauba waxes provide more depth and gloss than a sealant will. They also tend to bead water better and provide better protection for certain things, like bird droppings and water spotting. The downside is that they do not last nearly as long (2 - 8 weeks) which is why many people turn to a sealant for their underlying coat(s) of protection (3 - 6 months).

If you look at your local automotive store and see a $5 can of Turtle Wax Carnauba Wax or something like the sample of liquid carnauba wax that comes with the Mothers clay bar system, I do not feel these products would improve the finish of Zaino.

From the carnauba waxes we carry, Natty's Blue (darker colored vehicles) and P21S Carnauba Wax (lighter colored vehicles) are our best selling waxes. Natty's Red is a great option for either lighter or darker colored vehicles, but it is a limited edition run from Poorboy's. Pinnacle Souveran is our deepest and wettest looking wax but comes with a steeper price tag.

There are lots of quality waxes out there, but usually they are not found at local automotive stores unfortunately.

Are there any spray/wipe carnauba waxes?

I'm using the Optimium sealer w/ the Optiminum spray on / wipe off wax.

Griot's SprayOn wax is carnauba based. doesn't last long but
great as a LSP and wax as you dry product after a wash.

very slick finish. bugs/tar comes off easily.
