I just got my seal n shine turtle wax in. I have not waxed my car yet and it's a 2019 so it's due. I have never waxed nor polished. I'm wondering If I can slide without claying because I'm not planning on polishing. Would the product still work great?
 
Probably won’t last as long if your paint has decent amount of contaminants but I would not clay if you’re not going to polish. Especially if it would be your first time claying.
 
Is it worth even doing the wax now? Or should I wait ti'll I get a polisher?
 
You can apply seal and shine now, it’s always good to have some protection. Whenever you polish it in the future it will remove any protection still on there and you can start fresh.
 
Don't use 3D Speed if you are going to apply Seal N Shine. 3D Speed has wax in it that will negatively affect SNS ability to bond to the paint.

If you plan on polishing soon I'd do both polish and apply SNS afterward. If you don't think you'll get to polishing any time soon then go ahead and apply SNS. It won't last as long but some protection is better than no protection.

Which Turtle Wax polish were you looking to use? The Hybrid Solutions Polish & Wax?
 
Okay awesome I'm getting a list going and waiting for a sale on polishers and pads, and polishes. Do You think I should go for HD speed or one. I don't have deep scratches or anything like that. I'm also trying to figure out what clay to get. I'm also planning on getting 3 LC flat orange and 3 flat white. Thank you!
 
Should I use a certain amount of MF towels? Or should 1 be fine?
 
Im gonna get to it tomorrow. gonna wash, then apply ice seal n shine.

I would say a minimum of 3 towels, one to wipe in the seal & shine, one to buff off the S&S and the third for when the wipe off towel gets damp.
 
Gotta prep the surface real good first, chemical and mechanical decon for starters

just ordered some edgeless creature from rag company prime ftw
 
only problem is I don't want to mar the paint, I don't have a polisher yet. I'm waiting for a decent sale.

That's a great machine to start with, it replaced the one I have, the Griot's Garage 6" random orbital. Its very to use the machine, don't worry about hurting the paint...you will not! Depending on your needs you might wanna get the 5" backing plate conversion, more pads and better control. Looking forward to seeing how you come along here.

Btw, if you do just a chemical decon, then wash the car you might be alright to apply the Seal and Shine. A little decon is better than none but with enough lubricity I wouldn't worry about marring the paint, just make sure you've got alot of clay lube down or even very soapy carwash soap will work.
