In reality, You don't need more than two coats to have a good durable finish. the only reason people put mor than two is that it supposedly improves the shine. Save yourself some time and effort. When you wax, put down a good base coat (1-2 coats) of zaino or Klasse and a third coat of p21s. The P21s will provide a much better shine than multiple coats of other waxes

also if you are using zaino the old way, you might z1, then 2 coats of z3. i agree that you dont really need more than 2...
that said, i love applying the stuff- so every other wash or so i usually add another z2. and sometimes top it off with p21s.

So I can use P21 whenever I want, then Zaino on top another day? The wax doesn't mess up the synthetic Zaino?
What are the steps you take when you wash and wax your car?
I'm addicted to a shiny car!
