    Applying wax over a sealant

    Thanks for the info! I will read those articles as soon as I can. I figured that the wax, etc. would be worn off by spring but I just wanted some other opinions. Love this site!

    Applying wax over a sealant

    I have read a lot of posts on here that many enthusiasts use a paint sealant first and then top off with a wax. My question is do you need to clean or strip down the paint surface when it's time to reapply both products? My example is this....I purchased Wolfgang's Paint Sealant 3.0 over the...

    Paint Sealant and Carnuba Wax

    I have a general question regarding Sealant versus Wax. I read the write up on AG about wax versus sealants and found it very informative. I have always used carnuba wax and just recently started using sealant on my every day driver because of the durability qualities of sealants. I was...

    Paint Sealant 3.0 question

    I recently used the 3.0 sealant on my new vehicle and I love it. My problem/question is I didn't realize that i should have coated the whole car and let it sit/cure for 30-45 minutes. I don't think it said that on the back of the bottle, but I noticed the instructions on AG saying to do...

    What do you recommend for exterior hard plastics?

    Mark, I just looked at the CQuartz DLX and it looks like that might be a candidate....price I am not too worried about as long as it lasts. Yes, it will be my everyday driver so the plastic will take a beating for sure. It has already gotten "white" spots since I purchased it. I just use 303...

    What do you recommend for exterior hard plastics?

    Maybe this was addressed in a previous thread, so sorry if it's a repeat question. I just purchased a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee and it has a lot of gray plastic on the exterior. It's all lower on the body and around the wheel wells, front and rear fascia's, etc. What do you recommend to use on...

    Water spots

    Dave, yeah I wonder if that has anything to do with it. To be honest with you I don't seem to smell it much at my house. I must live upwind from it...or I am just that used to it. I am told that yes, the smell comes from the pulp process...hopefully it's not harmful! Thanks for the thought....

    Water spots

    Thx guys. Appreciate the help. Just hard to believe in the short amount of time this vehicle has seen the light of day that water could etch the paint already! I guess that's what has me bummed. Are today's paints & clearcoats that soft that this could happen so fast? I have a 70 Trans Am...

    Water spots

    Thx Mike for your input & help. What would you recommend as a paint cleaner? Since it is a brand new car, I was afraid to use anything too abrasive. I have Meguirs fine cut cleaner (not sure what #). If I do it over, I assume I would have to reapply the Wolfgang sealant? It just seems...

    Water spots

    I just purchased a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Picked it up last Friday. Washed it Saturday, late afternoon and detailed it on Sunday. Before I started to apply Paint sealant I noticed some, what I call water spots, on the paint. They are the kind that are pretty much invisible except...
