Has anyone done sealant, glaze and then nuba'

[pingable]

I want the protection of sealant but want the wetness of a glaze.

The combo I'm thinking is whatever sealant in my stash .... OS or Z5Pro, followed by RMG and then Souveran.

I've used DG 105, DWG and Souveran or Clearkote Carnauba Wax.



Personally, the sealant and DWG work great without the nuba. All a matter of taste.

RMG is oily and it has cleaners - I'm not sure if it'll play nice over a sealant. I know for a fact that Meg's #7 makes a mess over sealants, as it can't get into the paint. DWG is more likely to work well with a sealant than RMG.

Used DWG topped w/ OS, then finished w/ Souveran - Outstanding look, but the Souveran is a dust magnet. Even FK 425 QD did not reduce the dust attraction of Souveran.



So now, DWG topped w/ OS as a LSP. Lower dust and the DWG provides wetness/depth and OS the shine. So I don't miss my old favorite Souveran as omitting it loses near nothing with this combo and is reduces the dust problem.



Plus, acrylic DWG can be layered/sandwiched between OS in alternating fashion. FK 425 or even Z8 also helps keep dust even lower.

Currently (like this weekend) I'm using sealant and just put some Zymol Titanium "glaze" over top. I plan on topping the Titanium with one last coat of sealant (Ultima) before the weekend is over...

I have used Glaze, Sealant, Then Carnauba.. for a excellent combo....





Seems like the glaze would diminsh the sealant somewhat, used the other way.

I've heard here that if the glaze is applied before the sealant, the sealant's durability will significantly lessen.



I did CarLack68 SG + Mothers Sealer and Glaze + P21s 100% Nuba wax and it worked well.

Just this weekend I did 2 coats of UPGP, followed by 2 of DWG, followed by 1 more coat of UPGP to seal in the glaze. I plan to top it tomorrow with P21s 100%.

So how does it look now? DO you think the DWG made any significant change to the look of the paint from just the UPGP?

I've heard this as well, that's why applying the sealant first is a must! Then applying anything afterwards shouldn't be a big deal.

I would say it increased the wetness by about 35-40%.

Ok, so below are the pics. Again, the process is 2 coats of UPGP, followed by 2 of DWG, followed by 1 more coat of UPGP and one coat of P21S100%. This left the car super wet and the flakes exploding out of the paint.
