Wax question

If a car has been recently (let's say a week) waxed, is it ok to apply later sealant and wax again or I need to remove the wax coat first? If so what product?

Re: Wax question

The way I understand it the wax should be removed before you apply a sealant. You can put wax on top of cured sealant but not the other way around. Let the sealant cure for 24 hrs before applying the wax.

I would remove the wax with 50/50 alcohol or prep sol. Or wait a month before applying a sealant.

I would remove it as stated in my previous post. You dont want the fresh wax mixing with your polish which might gum up your pad.
