Aquawax Question

**kev1027** · 12-07-2006, 08:54 PM

About 3 weeks ago I put two coats of Duragloss and one coat of DP Max Wax on my truck. Couple of days ago I got Aquawax, and want to know if this stuff can go over the DP Max Wax or is it too soon? Will it bond to DP Max? Thanks for your help.

Yes , it will work fine.

It will go over it, however as the carnauba breaks down, the aquawax will not have a founndation, and it will blur your car. Take off the maxwax first.

Sorry Ryan, but this is totally untrue. AW was designed to work best with sealants. I used it over Souveran for several weeks with no ill effects, well other than some light streaking from the Aquawax itself. I have also used the 921 over a traditional wax with no bluring or effects. This is wax that has cured and flashed off any solvents prior to its use.

Maybe mines due for another coat then. It was nice and sharp and has since started to unsharpen.

New coat of AW time!

AW is fine over a nuba, it's a funky sealant that happens to bond well over a nuba as well. Try that with basically any other sealant and watch what happens when you place it over your wax

AW over or under anything!

I have to agree. I put the AW over my Souveran and it is bright and shining. The paint is clear and I can see all of my metal flakes go snap, crackle pop.

I posted this quite sometime ago, but I still think some of the spray on products (some consider them boosters) can be exceptions to the rule of not applying a sealant based product over a cured carnauba layer. AW, OCW, Blitz, FX100 all seem to work fine over carnaubas and they all contain varying amounts of polymer/sealant.
