    Question about using Optimum Opti- seal with a carnuba wax.........

    I recently started using Opti-seal and really like it, but I also really like the glow of a carnuba wax like P21. Which is better, to put the carnuba on top of Opti-seal, or put the carnuba under the Opti-seal ?
    The info on Opti-Seal says to use it as a LSP, but I also read somewhere to use the wax on top. I know that a sealant usually goes on before wax.........Any suggestions, comments ?........Thanks in advance.

    I wax on top of Opti-Seal. I consider the wax to be a sacrificial layer.

    If I was going to layer those two types
    of LSPs, I’d go with layering the Wax on
    top of the Sealant: it’s been the accepted
    practice for quite some time now.

    So the wax becomes the sacrificial layer of the sacrificial layer of the sacrificial layer then?
