Guessing Game: Is this car wearing wax or sealant?

vote for wax

 

This paint is naked... no lsp



These pics were taken after multi step polishing and multiple IPA wipedowns and then a thorough wash to remove any trace of polishing oils.





I just wanted to demonstrate that when properly prepped (see pics below), lsp regardless of wax or sealant (especially in a picture over the net) is not discernable.



Thanks to all for playing along!!! For those that guessed right:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

i figured it was naked, however, the title is misleading and forces a wrong decision

:bitter:

 

Booyah.

 

I agree. Next person to meet up with Jason can give him a kick in the junk for me!

 

If properly prepped cars give you the similar finish as wax/sealant does. Wouldn't wax/sealant ing your car saves more time?

 

do you think that one could visually distinguish between a sealant and a wax if they were applied 50/50 on a single panel? it would be interesting to see the differences on a single panel

 

point taken, sir

 

Applying wax or sealant on an unprepared surface will not give you the same results. The point of this was to show you that applying a wax or sealant to a well prepared surface will not improve the looks that much. It may alter it ( add more depth or gloss ) but it won't improve it that much. Hope that makes sense.

Even two years ago, that would have been a relatively easy task but today with polymers being added to Nubas etc, its getting harder to tell.

 

Aww, come on..... "Forced" is such a strong word

:whistle:

Ken answered this one perfectly

Not in pictures.... In person, dependant on the particular wax/sealant being compared... Possibly

ok how about sets up for failure?

but in all seriousness the cars finish looks great i really expect nothing less from your posts...ok so to make us who guessed wrong happy what did you end up using as lsp and post pics
