Wax question

[marchese_alexander]

If a car has been recently (let's say a week) waxed, is it ok to apply later sealant and wax again or I need to remove the wax coat first? If so what product?

The way I understand it the wax should be removed before you apply a sealant. You can put wax on top of cured sealant but not the other way around. Let the sealant cure for 24 hrs before applying the wax.

Pat.

I would remove the wax with 50/50 alcohol or prep sol. Or wait a month before applying a sealant.

I would remove it as stated in my previous post. You dont want the fresh wax mixing with your polish which might gum up your pad.

Prep Sol or Walmart has a wax remover, I think its called Prep All.

Yes, its made to remove wax, used it many times and my cc is fine. Use it after polishing to remove any oils left by polishing before LSP.
