Buckley Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Hi all, long time admirer but slow poster looking at having a quick clean up this weekend, but got differing stuff in my head Should I go:- rinse wash dry polish wax sealant or sealant then wax? sorry it’s a rubbish post but it’s hard on phone with a 4year old swinging on arms!! thanks Quote
CountKyle Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Wax is a form of sealant - you don't need to apply any after waxing, infact it probably won't take very well. You can apply wax to the car after a chemical sealant, but not the other way around. Other than that, it sounds good to me! It might be wise to use a clay bar or contaminant remover such as Iron X to get rid of any stubborn contaminants or tar spots before you polish too, but that depends on how dirty the car is!

Buckley Posted June 22, 2018 Author Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks, that what I thought appreciate the reply so quick see how I get on tomorrow Quote
ilogikal1 Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 I can’t condone the use of IronX - see either of my threads on fallout removers - but the rest is good advice. Sealant after a was is entirely a waste of product, it simply won’t bond so the sealant will be removed very quickly. Wax after a sealant is equally as pointless though tbh. Any decent sealant won’t need a top up and the wax will be a sacrificial layer so either go with a better sealant or choose either wax or sealant rather than both. What products in particular are you thinking of? You would probably be better off doing a proper pre-wash and cleanse routine and going for a mediocre LSP (wax or sealant) than going for a mediocre cleanse and an expensive LSP. Also, pictures. We like like pictures! Quote
