The cleaner wax will clean the sealant off. I'd say do sealant as your LSP instead of cleaner wax, but I am pretty new to detailing.(about a year)

I thought that sealants work as an LSP over wax? Read in a thread somewhere that because the sealant won't bond to wax, that all you basically would be doing is wiping off the sealant you just put on the wax.

Generally incorrect. It's the other way around (wax over sealant).

Generally correct.
 
I need to correct my statement above that I prefer paste waxes. This is true for my black S2000, but for my wife's silver blue CR-V, I prefer UPGP--I love the wipe-on/walk-away feature.
 
I love my paste waxes. I dont see a point in having liquid waxes at all though. For easy I application and speed I use sealants. And all my waxes are paste waxes.
 
Paste waxes here. Look at it this way: all the high-end waxes; Souveran; SuperNatural, Zymol, Swissvax, Lusso Oro, 50/50, Fuzion, P21S 100%, Blackfire Midnight Sun; all are paste waxes.



I assume most lovers of WOWA (Like Optimum's Opti-Seal) like the minimum effort with maximum results (like professional detailers who need to make a decent profit for their time spent).



Yes, I've used Megs NXT liquid. Does what it says at a very reasonable price.

But I like Collinite 885/476S better. Lasts longer on my daily driver.
 
Though I use a lot of sealants, I love paste waxes. Applying the product seems more involving, an interactive experience, if you will.
 
My job is warrantied to bead for six months or I DO IT AGAIN FREE. I spin 4 to five different chemicals into the paint of any vehicle I do. It does NOT need to be hand waxed with anything upon completion PERIOD! In fact if you hand wax it, you will soon see that you will put finger marks back into the surface, which will show in the sun. I finish with a finish pad. On that pad is a clear carnuba....just enough.

what four to five chemicals do you "spin" into the paint? Is there something that you use that leave a protective layer behind? Who puts their fingers on the paint when their taking the wax off?



You finish with a finishing pad like almost all of us when using a machine, and you use clear carnuba, so you use a liquid wax or do you apply paste wax to your finishing pad then apply?
 
On the bandwagon with Collinite 915/476...here to stay.



Off the wagon with Z-2. Haven't found a paste sealant that I like better than Z-2 which is liquid...of course
 
I prefer paste waxes, i have 6 boutique high-end waxes different one's to be exact. For my customers i use SCG Barrier Reef liquid wax, it's a really good liquid wax.
