Welcome:The answer to your question is yes,but you wont have to wait that long 24 -36 hrs is par for a sealant to cure. you can put carnauba over a sealant as a rule of thumb, but it isn't sugested to put sealant over a carnauba.

what if when you let the car sit over night after applying sealant alot of dust forms on it. Should you re wash the car then apply the carnauba wax, or use something like a california duster to remove the dust ?

i just use the CD or perhaps some QEW or something like it. The CD is my choice though b/c I am always paranoid of new wash swirls.

After sitting overnight, a "waterless wash" (QD that excels at cleaning) like Poorboy's Spray and Wipe or Chemical Guys Pro Detailer should be perfect for removing light dust.

I use a selant every time i detail my car (try every week wheather permitting) i use the DC wet-look i also would like to know if i can use the colour boost wax on it (in the states its colourX), so your saying its ok to wax after using a sealant?

you can always use a "pure carnuba" over a sealant as a topper. You cannot however do it the otherway around as sealants do NOT like to adhere to oils. The product ColorX however is more like a cleaner wax (I believe it contains Kaolin like NXT) and thus would remove some or all of the sealant. You will need to move to P21S, Pinnacle Sig or Souveran, DP Max Wax, Poorboys Nattys, Megs 26, or even Mothers 100% carnuba paste.

"Pure carnuba"? and why high tech yellow wax?

"Pure carnuba"? and why high tech yellow wax?

I use the term loosely, as they really is no way to spread pure carnuba on a finish. That said, the waxes I offered above have no cleaning ability and thus will enhance the look of the car without removing the sealant.

So you would recomend using megs (we in aus dont get the other products people have mentioned in here) carnuba and/or high tech yellow wax? what about NXT wax, could i use that over the top of the DC wet-look sealant?
