Mutl3y Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi all, Just wanted your opinions on whether i've messed up here...i've put on some AG "Extra Gloss Protection" sealant after a layer of Megs "NXT Tech Wax 2.0" - have I done this the wrong way around?! My steps were 1) Wash the car with AG Shampoo and Conditioner 2) Megs Paint Cleaner 3) Megs Polish 4) Megs NXT wax 5) AG Extra Gloss Protection sealant Although the AG sealant is non-abrasive, and the finish on the car (Ebisu Black) looks good, but not sure if i've ultimately wasted my layer of wax underneath the sealant? Thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 i thought the wax went on last as it cures or breathes or some such, its the sacraficial layer or some such no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 To be honest, I'd always put sealant on after polishing but before wax. (If I was going to use a sealant in my detail) However the Autoglym Extra gloss protection was designed to be their Final stage application. At the time they only had Super Resin Polish on the market and no wax, not unlike now with their HD wax. So I'm not entirely sure of the EGP make up and it's ability to be a sealant under wax. I guess it would be a trial and see experiment. There's no harm in experimenting, it's how we learn and get shiny cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aust350z Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sealant goes on after the polish,then the wax. +1 Also always wait the proper curing time before adding another coat of sealant, wax or wax on top of sealant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Wayne's the man when it comes to detailing, so i stand corrected. who's wayne? can't pick up that name in any of the posts. I think i've gone blind....arrgghh I have always just washed and polished, looks good after a polish and when it rains the water beads and just runs straight off. Takes a few days of driving in the wet for the dirt to build up on it. Didn't know you need to seal then wax after a polish. Sounds like far too much effort as just hoovering, washing, cleaning windows followed by a polish takes me all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
