•HD Speed:
-How could a Cleaner-Sealant
also be a Jeweling Wax?
Bob
Except for one thing.... since the car was invented, followed by car paint, followed by car polishes and waxes - there's never been any "Wax Police" or better yet, "Word Police" to govern and dictate what means what... it's too late in the game to change now... this is why you see company's call their sealants polishes and their polishes glazes.
:laughing:
That's how I use them in the real-world and in the cyber-world and in anything I write or any video. I try to remove the confusion but there's always enough other opinions out there to continue the confusion. I think after it's in a published book though there's a tick of credibility for one or the other directions. Anyone that disagrees of course can and should write a book.
Yes. 3D HD Speed in my mind is more than a cleaner/wax due to the abrasive technology, it is a true jeweling wax.

Because I use the term "wax" as a generic term for anyting that can and is used to seal the paint.
I completely understand that a lot of people get all anal retentive about the words wax and sealant but I'm not going to do a TON of extra typing for the anal retentive.
I did cover this 8 years ago, in 2010 with the VERY EXHAUSTIVE article where I did my best to explain the difference between a wax or sealant that CLEANED and a wax or sealant that does NOT clean.

The Difference Between a Cleaner/Wax and a Finishing Wax
And here's just an excerpt where I did go full anal retentive for the anal retentive....

I love the word wax too. If I had it my way I’d always say wax without stopping to think about it... However I do find myself thinking about what to call things when explaining to certain customers what exactly I’m going to do to their vehicles. My reason for it is what if they get to talking to someone they know or even another detailer and describe to them that I applied a “wax” to protect their daily driver. That other detailer could begin snickering about how I should have done better than protecting his vehicle with a measly “wax”
There’s alot people can find out on their own these days ya know. Average Joes can become quite informed on just about any subject if they research it enough. Or maybe I’m overthinking it. Either ways, I like “wax”[emoji4]
Weren’t you the guy who called Imperial Hand Glaze your “favorite polish” the other day?[emoji57] How can a glaze be a polish? Lol.[emoji14]
Let's stop with this agitating others. Recently a number of your posts have been reported.
Remember the forum rules and actually a pretty good rule to live your life by...
Forum Rules
The second sentence in rule #4
If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all, this also includes talking to others in a demeaning manner.
:nomore:
Understood.
eh, I think it would say more about the other 'detailer' if they derided you for using a 'wax' on a customer's car. On this site alone, there are a number of 'waxes' selling for over $100 a piece, several of those at $200 or more. You certainly don't see 'high end' sealants commanding that kind of price tag (maybe with 'hybrid' waxes). Now, you may not offer those types of high end waxes to your customers but I think it would be easy to have a discussion/education around 'waxes' and how they aren't all created equal.
One of the criteria I use to determine what to seal a customer's car with is what do they want, not what does the world want.
Right now ceramic coatings are the rage, understandably. But for some people and for some cars, a wax and even a cleaner/wax is the right choice.
