The product in the bottle has absolutely no clue as to what color your car is. It is going to do what it does, regardless of if the car is black or white. If the product had some type of black coloring agent in the bottle, then it would stain if used on a white car. I can guarantee you that this WON'T happen. Also, the product in the bottle cannot mix with the paint in any way. The paint on most new cars today has a layer of clear coat protecting the paint. The only thing that the product can do is BOND to the clear coat or paint (as all sealant waxes do). It is not going to penetrate the paint and add color to it in any way. Products on the market like that cater to those who don't know any better and are usually watered down and full of fillers. Using nothing but logic, this should make perfectly good sense when you think about it. It isn't rocket science.

Kelly, if you are smart enough to use Zaino, an outstanding product by the way, why would you then mix it with over the counter junk like Turtle Wax? Zaino as a system contains all the products that you need to achieve an outstanding shine and is best when used with other products from Zaino. There is no need to use anything other than the Zaino line when using any of their paint products.

The mixing of different product lines when it comes to paint correcting and wax is a major no-no. Products like Zaino and Adam's have been engineered to be used within their own family. When you start with one polish, you should follow it with the recommended polish from that same family. The cut in the polishes have been engineered to work together within the family line and all of the guess work has been removed for you, the consumer. All you have to do is follow the manufacturer's directions. Never will you see any manufacturer, or any professional detailer who knows what they are doing, mixing polishes and waxes from multiple brands. You have no clue what compounds make up each brand and thus, have no clue as to how they will react when mixed. The chemist who make these products do know and thus, have put together a combination of products that will yield you the best possible result. Mixing those products is a sure fire way to create negligible results, whether or not you realize or see it.

To the OP, don't make it more complicated than it is. There are quite a few of professional products on the market to choose from and you won't find them at Wally World, Pep Boys or Auto Zone and the like. Choose a line and stay within that line until you know what you're doing. Whatever you do, don't mix lines of products together. That is not how this is done. It just so happens that I have put together a video tutorial for you that shows how simple the process is when using Adam's. That saves you the guess work on how to do it. Follow the bread crumbs. They will keep you on the right path to remarkable results.

I was just using the examples of different ways one can go with. I agree with you that you should choose one product line and stay with it. That is one reason I chose the zanio line because of the product selection. As far as the turtle wax that is something I used in the past before. I read alot of your posts and got smart in the wax department. I do bow to your knowledge about car finishes just trying to give some examples and not sound like a zaino salesman. BTW when/who did you serve. Me I am still in working on my staff billet down in Tampa with MARCENT. (military Police)
