Clear Coat Paint Protection

[Wandering Tassie]

A wax when applied over a sealant will add depth to the finish.
It can also get confusing when people are talking about polishes, waxes etc. Just a brief description

Polish; is use to shine the paint surface but does not give any protection
Wax; most auto waxs have a carnauba wax base. Carnauba wax comes from a palm tree in Brazil. A good quality wax will last 3-4 months.
Sealant: is an artificial wax that will last 4-5 months.

In general terms a sealant gives a wet look and a wax adds depth so it depends on what look you are after.

I tend to go over the top and do 3 layers of sealant with 2 layers of wax over the top.

You can put a wax over a sealant but don't put a sealant over a wax.

GOLD!!!!! Hit the nail on the head. My car and camper both have 3 sets of paint protection on it. Always looks mint and easy to clean!

Is turtle wax swirl remover any good??

Only a Datsun driver would consider removing the swirl off a turtle

OK, we've talked about paint protection....but what about something that will remove pin stripes ?

Meguiars scratch X gets a negative.......so what do you use in it's place ??

It's called a buff and cutting compound, then do the polish, protection wax tricks as mentioned here.
