Which process do YOU use most often?

We all pretty much agree that a sealant topped with a pure wax is the best combo, in terms of looks and durability. However, not all of us have the time, or whatever other reason it may be, to apply additional coats. Personally, I find myself using Wolfgang sealant more than anything these days, since I don't have much time to apply additional coats of anything (unlike the days of the Camaro where I would wax every week....I wish I could do that to the Z06).

With that being said, whether it's on your own cars, or customers' cars, which process do you use most often?

Nothing like a nice carnauba on top of Wolfgang Sealant! Still have Fuzion on my car from Detail Fest, thinking I might put another coat on this weekend! Though its been three months, and it still looks nice.

I've been using NXT followed two to three days later by HiTemp Bahama Mama. Looks good (white car so who knows if it could be better) and lasts for quite some time in the heat out here in the desert.

Sealant top off with wax, for ultimate protection in the northeast.

Re: Which process do YOU use most often?

I"ve been using the old Wolfgang sealent (2 coats) followed by Pinnicle Souveran and have been happy with the results. I plan on picking up the new Wolfgang sealent 3.0, and if time becomes an important consideration in the future, I would feel fine using the sealent alone. I was that impressed with the finish without the Souveran being applied. But, to each his own.

Re: Which process do YOU use most often?

sealant only in summer ... to hot and kids have two many outings and other items planned. Sealant/Wax combo in winter for delicious wet look.

Four Star UPP w/ Polycharger still my choice.
