So tomorrow im going to be detailing my cousin's C6 z06, hes leaving on a road trip up state and dont have 2 days to seal and then wax, so my question is, should I wax or should I seal.

Sealant's I only have DP Sealant.

Wax I have Natty's Blue, XMT 180, and NXT Tech Wax.

Color is red. What do you guys think I should do?
 
I always seal then wax. The wax doesnt make it look any better but I just like having extra coats.

Wax also attracts dust a lot more than just leaving the seal on.
 
For a road-trip, I would seal. Offers more protection against environmental exposer.
 
Yeah but he cares more about a shine and reflection, still think i should seal?

Also, who thinks i should order Klasse Sealant? I dont want to spend more then $20 and since im in florida I can have it tomorrow.
 
If you're going to order something else then Id go with WG DGS.
 
NXT is a sealant, even though the label says wax. If you only have time to seal or wax, seal. NXT has a great deep shine. I do not have any experience with DP. The WG is very good if you plan on doing an order.

I 100% :iagree: best sealent I've used yet. Gives the vehicle a nice wet look and has the protection to go along with it.
 
Red color huh......interesting? I have very good results mostly with carnauba wax on red colors. Carnauba makes the red color.... 'PoP' with a super deep glossy wetlook shine....

Maybe u can use the Xmt 180 that u got. :D
 
I would seal, and use the DP PSS since you already have it. If you didn't I would recommend the WG sealant.

Klasse SG would be my last recommendation, it's very finicky and CAN be difficult to work with (if you apply to heavy or in too humid weather). Although the longevity of Klasse is tough to beat.
 
DP Sealant is great. Since you already have it I'd use that. Just make sure that you can go 12 hours after applying with no exposure to water. Here's a pic of a red car done with DP from the AG site.

Personally, I love the way a sealant looks on metallic paint and how wax looks on flat paint.

I agree with this 100%. The key for me in making a decision between sealant or wax is will the vehicle be able to go 12 hours with out exposure to moisture. If it can't then I wax.
