A whole category of product usage? I have been using DP Spray Surface Shield in my wheel wells (thnks for the tip JEff!) and it works great, but coudln't I use a fater curing spray sealant liek Wolfie to cut time all around? Can't believe I never thought of this.
 
The Wolfgang spray sealant would be lots quicker cure and application time, thus you could get a nuba on top of it faster.
 
ah ok...

though i haven't tried the wolfgang spray sealant, i have tried UPP and UPPS.

there's a big difference between the two when applied as a standalone lsp.

the liquid version lastest alot longer than the spray. also, the slickness didn't fade off as quickly as the spray.

IMO the sprays are not true stand-alone products, but rather, they're booster products that maintain the look/integrity of your sealant layer(s).
 
I was thinking along the lines of...after polishing, use the quick spray sealer, then topping with nubas. In my understanding, this would drastically cut down the wait/app/cure time. The spray sealant woudl at least add somethign extra I assume.

For a quicky job?? id say yes! but not very long lasting IMHO....
 
Would you agree that using the spray would be better than not using any type of sealant?
 
well... i dont know.. Your going to apply a spray sealant which doesn't last all that long to begin with, and on top of that, your not allowing it to cure at all before top w/ a nuba, further decreasing the durability.

i dont see the point.
 
Why not just use like DP wheel glaze or PB wheel sealant or something?? Then you don't have to worry about cure times.

Would you be able to clarify "wheel well"? I have one car that has a carpeted wheel well - I use a foam-type dressing for this situation. The other car I have has a plastic wheel well which I use Armor All protectant. I just kind of confused as to where using a spray sealant and wax would fit in.
 
A wheel well is the part behind the tire. It is on the exterior part of your car, not inside.
 
In my area thats called the lower 1/4 panel......
 
I meant, it was suggested to use the Spray Selanat in the wheel well (area where the whell sets back into I guess) the place that usually gets washed and thats it. So I ahve been using the spray sealant for that only and I noticed it has been doing a great job! No big dirt buildup liek always before, easily washes that gunk out, no bigtime scrubbing needed. So, now I am thinking of using a spray sealant on the whole car, whats it designed for! I am wondering if it will save lots of time?

A wheel well is exactly that.......a well, The well of the wheel..... called the inner wheel well, There is no exterior wheel wells, or interior wheel well's , just an inner wheel well, inner from the outside of the car looking in behind the center of the wheel facing you, all 4 wheels have wheel wells, some are plastic, plastic lined, some are undercoated,some are carpeted for shows, its not only behind the wheel, but forward of the wheel also, when you detail wheel wells you do the whole well front, top, and rear, of each wheel what ever way you can reach them, Anybody part on the outside the vehicle would be a panel, FENDER, DOOR/DOORS, 1/4 PANEL, ROCKER PANEL,BODY PANELS etc. Wheel well Housings are what the front fenders attach to, housings, The metal panel that attached to the inner front fenders seen from above looking under the hood left/right side......The Wells attached to the rear 1/4 panels are attached to the body of the car. Inside the trunk on the side of the inner 1/4 panel where the spare tire fits is the spare wheel well, The well on the inside trunk on the flooring is called the Trunk flooring well which on some cars can be seen from the outside underneath the outside of the car in the rear, and in most cases its finished outside underneath with undercoating .......Being in the auto collision business prior to my current profession, this should set straight about wheel wells.........
