    Combination of Sealeant and Wax Recomendation

    Hi Mike...

    Hope you and your family are OK. I am fairly new on detailing as i have always maintained my cars by hand.

    I bought a Griots Garage G6 and some pads and i am very happy with the results so i will like some recommendations on maintenance. I am using a 3D One 2/3 stage compound / polish or 3D AIO and i am toping it with Xtreme Solutions Polyseal Sealant and I wash my cars weekly with Meguires. I really like this combination but i am looking for more durability on the protection.


    My questions are the following as what i am looking is for durability as 2 of the cars sleep outside 24/7:

    1. Should I only use the Sealant to maintain it monthly or it is a waste of time and money as the sealant is suppose to be there for around 6 months?
    2. Is it a best practice to top the Sealant with a Wax in order to get more durability and protection?


    Any recommendations are appreciated.

    I would just stick with a sealant...the newer thing to do is use a ceramic coating....The only thing you have to clay the car or use a paint prep....wish you luck...

    No experience with the Xtreme Solutions sealant, but if you want durability, WG Deep Gloss is excellent.

    Or, you can try a hybrid wax/sealant such as Collinite 845 or 476.

    Either way, using it every month would be a waste of time, product, and effort. That is the beauty of using a quality LSP.

    No "ignorance" here on AGO. We all started from scratch.

    LSP: Last Stage Product. It is the last thing you apply to the paint.

    As far as differences in 845/476, the 845 is a liquid, and the 476 is a paste. You apply both VERY thinly.

    The 845 is a bit more user-friendly as in you can apply it to the the entire vehicle and then go back and wipe off.

    The 476 is a different animal. Apply one section at a time, then immediately wipe off within 1-2 minutes. If you do not, it is a bear to remove.

    845 is a liquid wax and much easier to work with, pretty solid durability, great shine and gloss. 476 is a paste wax, requires a little more finesse but is super durable (for a wax). 915 is another option, paste wax as well but awesome shine/gloss.

    LSP is last step product, consider it something you would apply as the last thing. Sometimes you'll also hear of products that you also apply last to really make sure you didn't miss any areas and amp up the finish. There are many quick detailer type products that fall in this range that can be used regularly after you've laid down a good base product.

    WGDGPS is an incredible product. Just keep in mind the 12 hour cure time in which it cannot be exposed to moisture.....

    Yeppppp, also saw that in the directions and it have a 45 minute cure prior removing.

    Will give it a try and also top it with the Wax to see the results as the car sleeps outside 24/7 but i can garage it while i finish the process.

    Once again, Thanks Buddy. Will keep you posted.
