Carnauba wax over sealant

[garfy]

I've been using Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0 for years but wonder if there's any advantage in applying carnauba wax over it after the sealant has cured? Would the sealant last longer if the wax is applied over it? Thanks!

You probably won't get much more durability, but it should act as a sacrificial barrier and give you a deeper finish.

I did a test one time on my wife’s Equinox with Deep Gloss Paint Sealant on one side and Deep Close + Fuzion on the other. The Fuzion side looked a little brighter and both sides lasted about the same.

Mum's Qashqai has NV Lustre and Jet on it, applied about 6 months ago. It's garaged so it's holding up very well. After a wash yesterday I decided to put a layer of wax on top, for extra protection and enhancement. I went with Blue Velvet from Dodo Juice. It's considered a hard wax which contains carnauba wax but also a 2-4% dye tint to darken the paint. It says on a garaged car it can last up to a year, we'll see. It's definitely increased the gloss, and, if possible, it looks more blue, especially where the sun glints off it.

That looks amazing. I've always wanted to try some Dodo Juice products, but have never been fortunate enough to have the garage queen to use them on.

I have a classic car that is always garaged and covered when not being driven. Been in the habit of using Collinite 845 as the LSP. It definately lasts a year with that Carnuba treatment so it is possible.
