Wax/sealant removal?

[Scubadaddy]

Spring is here! As soon as the temperature allows, I plan on adding some Wolfgang sealant to my vehicle. I applied it in late fall before all the snow.


Question #1: Since I do not plan on doing any correction, do I need to remove the sealant or just clay and apply over the coat on now? I understand that you should remove a wax/sealant if you are using a different wax/sealant, but do you need to do this if you will be using the same one?

I have some Wolfgang finishing glaze. Would this:

1. Remove the sealant?

2. Should I apply it even though I am happy with the paint's condition. Does not need correction. Would this increase the shine/gloss? Is it needed?

Thanks!

You are removing your last step product which ever route you go therefore I would just give the vehicle a good bath, then clay bar it to remove any contamination then apply wax/sealant of choice also a glaze will not remove anything its just like a lotion for your paint

Get a citrus wash or similar. The 'gloss washes' won't remove sealant etc. If you want to do it properly, get a citrus/degrease wash,then clay and IPA wipe down.

Despite the name, WG Finishing Glaze is a polish. It is an abrasive roughly equivalent to Menzerna SF4000 and it will correct light defects, and will remove anything on the vehicle currently.

If I just want to seal/do I need to remove the old sealant?

Yes you need to remove the old layer of sealant that way the new coat of sealant will bond to the paint, and not a old coat of sealant

This. Polish then seal after.
