I read on here that tech wax 2.0 has some cleaners in it - would I be wasting my time using DWG and then sealing with tech wax 2.0? TIA for any advice you can lend!

I would recommend it backwards. NXT first and then DWG. DWG has no cleaners
 
I concur...try DWG on top. IMO, one of the neat things about DWG is that if want to go from a carnauba to a sealant, just top the carnauba with DWG and then apply the sealant. And DWG so easy to apply/remove.
 
The usual order is: sealant (synthetic), glaze, lsp (carnauba). The glaze should not be the lsp.
 
I agree with Bunky. I wouldn't layer DWG on top of an LSP. It has VERY limited durability.

with traditional glazes this would be true, but dwg is not your normal glaze, it doesnt fill or polish, it can be topped or be the topper....in his case with 2.0 having a cleaner in it, i would use that first then top with dwg...and dwg does have some protective qualities to it...

Does the part about going from a wax to a sealant with a layer of DWG in between work well? Will the sealant cure as good or at least close to it as it would if you applied the sealant to fresh paint with only DWG on top?

i dont really use carnuba, but i would think you could only use carnuba as a final app....i dont think anything synthetic would bond to carnuba...even dwg....
 
I use DWG over carnauba and it works fine. Bob @ Danase says many people use it over carnauba and then if they like, go with a sealant. The durability of the sealant may be compromised some.

I also use WGSS over carnauba and then (after curing) use WG3.0...

i dont see how any carnuba would remain if you tried to topp it off with something like a synthetic...not to mention the bonding issues...but if it works for you thats cool....i just dont see the use for carnuba but i know some folks still swear by it....
 
I was skeptical too about applying DWG (an acrylic) on top of a carnauba and even topping a carnauba with some of the polymer based spray sealants (like WGSS, UPPS, and BF Spray), but IMO it works. UPPS contains carnauba and I use it a lot.

With that said, I am not a good judge of durability since I'm always adding a booster or some carnauba or something every 2-3 weeks.

As far as why even messing with carnauba, I'm old school and still enjoy applying it. Just not for everyone and particularly if durability is a big issue.

I'm not sure if there is a clear answer to this question. I know that some people top #7 with NXT and swear that the #7 gloss shines through. If this is true for an oil-based glaze, then I wouldn't be surprised if a synthetic glaze like DWG would survive NXT. NXT's cleaners are supposed to be pretty mild. I guess there is only one way to find out.
