| Seal or wax?
So tomorrow im going to be detailing my cousin's C6 z06, hes leaving on a road trip up state and dont have 2 days to seal and then wax, so my question is, should I wax or should I seal.
Sealant's I only have DP Sealant.
Wax I have Natty's Blue, XMT 180, and NXT Tech Wax.
Color is red. What do you guys think I should do?

I always seal then wax. The wax doesnt make it look any better but I just like having extra coats.
Wax also attracts dust a lot more than just leaving the seal on.

For a road-trip, I would seal. Offers more protection against environmental exposer.

If you're going to order something else then Id go with WG DGS.

NXT is a sealant, even though the label says wax. If you only have time to seal or wax, seal. NXT has a great deep shine. I do not have any experience with DP. The WG is very good if you plan on doing an order.

Red color huh......interesting? I have very good results mostly with carnauba wax on red colors. Carnauba makes the red color.... 'PoP' with a super deep glossy wetlook shine....
Maybe u can use the Xmt 180 that u got.  | |

I would seal, and use the DP PSS since you already have it. If you didn't I would recommend the WG sealant.
Klasse SG would be my last recommendation, it's very finicky and CAN be difficult to work with (if you apply to heavy or in too humid weather). Although the longevity of Klasse is tough to beat.
