Waxes - make sure to dry them to a haze before removing

Might have been the glaze - if it was any oily glaze, it will have kept the sealant from bonding the the paint, and hence affected durability for the sealant and the wax on top of it.

I prepped the surface just as normally as I would. Wash-clay-swirlx-glaze-sealant-wax. Oh by the way I added glaze in my step comparing to my previous work. Could that possibly contribute to the durability of the wax?



It's relatively hot where I came from. But one thing to note is that it rained like 5 hours after I applied the wax. One thing to also note is that the successful application I had 4 months ago, it also rained just after I applied the wax.

My understanding is that some glaze does not play well with some LSP.

Glaze/Sealant/Wax. That is likely your problem. Some just dont bond to others. The glaze may not allow the sealant or the wax to bond. The sealant may not allow the wax to bond. Or none of them may be compatible and they all have come off.

I would prep the paint with IPA. Then try just the Collinte. See how it lasts. Then, next time try the sealant/wax combo and see if it makes a difference.

Honestly, you probably only need 1 or the other anyway. I think layering 1 product gives you better results than mixing 2 products.

Thank you very much for the input guys! Yeah will try to leave the glaze out. I was using Meguiar's Deep Crystal Polish. I think it makes sense because I remembered I left my roof without the glaze and the roof is beading water. Will try to redo my application this coming weekend. Thanks a lot guys!
