Thanks Meg!

The amount of salt that they use on the roads up here in Upstate NY (Finger Lakes area) is obsurd! It doesn't help that the Highway department of my town is smack dab in between my house and work

. Every salt truck that pulls out of that place dumps an extra batch on the road that my shop is on... Man I hate salt!

Our city is too broke to buy salt! That's one good result of a bad economy.

So sealant over a glaze is a no no?

Sealants over an "oily" glaze won't work.

Sealants over an acrylic glaze (like pb black hole or white diamond) will work well.

Meguiars says you can use NXT 2.0 over M07, which I think qualifies as "oily".

Yea, no kidding......not only the salt, but the temperature hovering near freezing +/- all the time. Cold/warm.......always WET (+ SALT) = BAD on Finishes. Have to use something good for this area. (I've just ordered some Collonite, even though I have Opti-Seal.

BTW, where are you in the Finger Lakes?????

See ya

also throw danase wet glaze or ## wet mirror finish in. they will work with all sealents.

The Guys at poor boys actually recommend sealing.... then black hole... then caruba... just wondering how long to wait between each step

On average in my tests, sealants like Blackfire or Wolfgang, I've gotten 3 months. Thats a wash every 2 weeks, rain once a week and no QD'S. My tests indicate after 3 months they are ready for another coat. YMMV.
