    Are these kind of the same??

    I already own a bottle of 3M's perfect it show car liquid wax, and from what i understand its a sealant polymer that gives a nice shine. I was looking at Menzerna's Power Lock Polymer Paint Sealant. Is menzerna more of a sealant; does it create a wet look finish like the 3m; does it make sense to use 3m on top of it??
    Thanks!

    Putting one sealant on top of another yields no gains.

    Andy,

    Sealants are great products and are synthetic waxes if you will. They've come a long way through the years and far outlast their wax counterpart however don't seem to share the depth for some reason.

    On my vehicles I apply a coat of sealant, I use Menzerna Power Lock, and the next day a coat of wax. This seems to add to the overall gloss and some additional protection.

    Thanks for the response Bobby! I was actually looking into the Menzerna power lock, but I already own some 3M perfect it liq wax, and wanted to know if somewhere along the lines they are similar? I also tried applying some P21s on a panel that was treated with 3m, and the P21 seemed to be "slipping " on the surface. The panel is a bit smoother, but no noticable difference in the shine!
