    Caustic Chemicals???

    Do you guys think it is a good idea to drive a freashly waxed car?

    You are probably right but are you saying then that it is not truly possible to "layer" waxes and that what you are doing is really just building up total thickness? DAL

    Need Advice in refining my polishing approach

    As others have said, glaze, seal then wax, but make sure you are using a compatible glaze.(i.e. no carnuba). The Wolfgang glaze is fine under the Wolfgang DGS. DAL

    I would wait the full 24 hours or more. You see, it's about more than just the solvent evaporating. The wax even thouh 95% of the solvent is gone quickly, is still fairly soft. If you quickly re-apply another coat of wax, what happens is that the solvents in the second coat dissolve some or all...

    The gas phase will rise in proportion to the density difference between the vaporized solvent and the surrounding air. In an absolutely quiet environment, yes, the rate of vapor rise will be a very small factor. Whether allowing the material to haze or not, the wipe off removes the vast majority...

    Do you guys think it is a good idea to drive a freashly waxed car?

    It's not linear. Dalton's law of partial pressures is a little more complicated that the explanation below, but essentially, solvents evaporate in proportion to the concentation difference between the liquid phase (on the car) and the concentration in the air (which is normally zero, except in a...

    Bonding Issues

    XMT finishing glaze has carnuba. It won't work well under a sealant. (Ask me how I know) I would polish to the point of LSP ready, do the sealant, the wax and then the Spray Souveran. As far as I can verify (from first hand knowlede because I have the products and read the label), the Wolfgang...

    Bonding

    If the glaze contains carnuba, like XMT finishing glaze, then the sealant won't bond. Some other glazes like Wolfgang Finishing Glaze is designed to be the last step before the WGDG Sealant. DAL

    storing mf, pads, etc.

    Only problem is that it won't be big enough!!! I've got 10 of the 29 qt size drawers on shelves in my garage and looking for more room even now.

    Detailed Infinity G35 Coupe - **PICS**

    I polished them out as I did the car, and didin't really notice any particular yellowing, but then I usually do the HL when I do the cars anyway. Just part of my system.

    Detailed Infinity G35 Coupe - **PICS**

    Be very Careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The door handles are plastic, so I taped them off completely to void any potential damage. Once I took the tape off, I polished them by hand. Te A Pillars should be not problem with the PC.

    Thanks Thanks man... it should gt better. Another coat of WDGS and then a coat or two of Souveran should improve it a little! Don
