I've been doing some reading on applying the product but I don't see where I have to remove my glaze before applying the sealant. I have some occasional surface marring and I wanted to run over the entire vehicle with Meguiars 205 before applying the sealant.
 
Re: WG paint sealant

You don’t need a glaze, go straight from M205 to the Wolfgang sealant. If you want to improve the bond, you can chemically strip the paint with a panel wipe like CarPro Eraser just because M205 is on the oily side. With M205 you shouldn’t need a glaze to hide defects.

Running the 205 over the entire vehicle will remove whatever product you have applied previously.

I would say to clay, 205, then you should be ready to rock the WG.

That's the plan, with the claying having been done this morning.

Then once you get done with the 205, you will have have effectively stripped your paint.

I have not used 205 personally, but as Bruno mentioned above, if it is an oily polish you might benefit from a panel wipe before applying the WG.

That's what I wanted to know - to wipe the panels before applying WG. I guess I will use my IPA.

Grab some 3D or Griot's polish in the future, and you won't have to wipe before applying the WG. ;)

•Nope. Not necessary. At. All.

-That’s what I call working backwards (<—MP).
Even more so when using IPA as the panel wipe!


•WDGPS has never required “squeaky-clean”
panels prior to its application.

Interesting how there is not a consensus.

You don't have to use a panel wipe. We just said that if you use an oily polish you may want to use a panel wipe to ensure the bonding is good. But either way the sealant is not just going to slide off the paint onto the floor. It may last a month less? Nobody knows. I think many people started doing panel wipes to ensure maximum adhesion and maximum durability of whatever the product is. I think the only product that actually tells you a panel wipe is a must is a ceramic coating and even those say it's optional if you use a primer before coating.

I have Meguairs Speed Glaze, this should be even less of an issue than the 205?
 
Yes but a glaze will not fix the scratches, it will hide them for a very short period of time. Using a polish is a smarter way of making the car look better.
 
Or get some Griot's Correcting Cream and ease your mind with the polish oils.

Better yet, WG Total Swirl Remover if you like to "Synergize". :)

That’s odd. ;)

•Meguiar’s Speed Glaze (M80) is not, in
‘Meguiar’s-speak’, a Glaze (Pure Polish).

-M80 contains Meguiar’s very own
diminishing abrasives. To clarify:
-On Meguiar’s “0-10” aggressiveness scale,
it is ranked at “4”—same as Meguire’s M205.

I have the Fast Correcting Cream, not the CC.

Nice. :)

FCC finishes down very nicely. Try a test spot with a white (or medium/light polishing pad) and see what you think.

Okay, its getting late, so that'so what I will use tomorrow. Will top after a couple of days with FK or Collinite.

I didn’t know that. So it must be the same bright mind that named Wolfgang’s finishing polish “Finishing Glaze” even though it’s not a glaze. Good to know.
