Default after wax

first the prequel...I've spent the better part of my 4th of July weekend doing a major detailing on my berlina. So far it's been a thorough 2 bucket wash, zaino clay bar, 2 passes (thanks to my +1s cat) of Menzerna SIP with PC 7424 and uber green pad, 2 coats zaino Z5 and I'm about to get started with a nice finish of lusso oro.
So on to my question. Can I use the Z6 shine enhancer AFTER a coat of wax? Or is that best to be used after only using Z5/Z2?
Thanks in advance, you guys have already helped me tremendously and my car is already looking a thousand times better than it did before I pulled her in the garage.

Yes, it's just like a QD from my experience.

I would say yes you can use it after the wax. did you want to do it right after the wax is buffed out or would you wait 24 hours after it has fully cured?

I was curious about using it directly afterwards, as it has an anti-static property to it. There's a lot of dust from polishing floating around as well as my +1's cat hair.
Is it best to wait 24 hours for the wax to cure?

Awesome, thanks for the chief wacko approval! I'll be using it this week, since it's deciding to rain on my new detailing. Also please check out my post in the stickied thread where I posted my results. I'm dying to get badged!
