Using a Wax on Top of a Sealant
I'm currently using Sonax Polymer Net Shield sealant on my Q5. I was wondering if its a good idea or if I should be applying a wax on top of the sealant? If so, any recommednations.
Thanks

Re: Using a Wax on Top of a Sealant
If you like the looks of the sealant I would not top it. Also the wax on top of a sealant would change the beading and other characteristics of your Sonax PNS. With that being said, I get bored and inevitably put wax on my sealant

I do this quite frequently and you going to get a lot of don't do it it's a waste of time and some the opposite. I am in the wax over sealant category. I enjoy it. Other times I will apply 2 coats of wax instead. But since you use the Sonax sealant I would suggest applying Sonax Carnauba wax on top of the sealant. That would be in the family product and less chance of any hiccups.
I would give it a try and you can see if applying a wax over a sealant is worth it or not. Only YOU can be the judge. I am in the wax over sealant from 1st hand experience.

Re: Using a Wax on Top of a Sealant
I would and do top sealants all the time. Even on AGs page for WG sealant thy say to top it. Longer longevity, and wax usually gives that deep shine sealants just don't give.
I say a sealant should always be topped with a wax.
Another popular combo is power lock and collinite.

Keep in mind, if you apply something over the top of something else, you lose the features, benefits and characteristics of the first product and gain the features, benefits and characteristics of the second product.
At least until the second product wears off.
I have this too...

@OP:
I figure: since you asked...
you are going to "top" the
Sonax PNS with a Wax.
•Consequently:
-Keeping to the theme that forum
member Kamakaz1961 mentions
in his earlier posting (seen below)...
-Here's another "in the family" Wax:
SONAX High Speed Wax, premium liquid wax, sonax speed wax, sonax spray wax

Re: Using a Wax on Top of a Sealant
I wanted to thank everyone on the quick responses. First time posting here and definitely impressed with the speed and quality of the feedback. Being an Audi owner I posted detailing questions on some Audi Forum sites and have not received much good feedback. Based on everyone's feedback I think I'll stay within the Sonax family and look for one of their waxes. Really appreciated the BLINK20/free shipping special yesterday, took advantages of the great deal, though I should have posted this question earlier to include the wax in my order.

I've learned my lesson, all detailing related questions will be posted here. Should have come here a long time ago, especially since I've been ordering items from Autogeek. Thanks
