Quick Detailer after Sealant?

[shoeless89]

Just a quick question. Sometimes I'll apply sealant to a family members (or if I'm lucky a customers) car and I don't always have the benefit of doing it in the shade and its hard to see if I missed wiping off any. So if I wipe down the car with quick detailer afterward to help get off any I missed, will this mess up the sealant? Thank you!

Depends on the sealant. Some take 30 minutes to cure, some take 24 hours. Generally speaking, you should never let liquid touch a sealant until after it cures.

I myself wouldn't, I let my sealants rest/cure and use a qd after at least 12 hrs of dry curing

Might be just me though

Hi Shoeless89 and all

Do you guys apply spray wax before or after sealant? what is the timing interval?


Sealant > Spray Wax > QD

Or

Sealant > QD > Spray Wax

You'd want to do sealant (let it cure as directed) > wax > qd
