Based on my other threads and posts, i think ive decided to try topping a sealant with a wax. I have blackfire sealant right now, but the polymers don't allow many waxes to bond over it. So im looking for a durable sealant or aio that a good wax such as vic concours :gidiup: could be used over. I was considering jetseal, but i hear mixed reviews about durability and the product in general. I saw that someone used Klasse aio and topped it with vic concours and it looked stunning. Depending on the sealant/aio, would it have to cure for x hours before topping with the wax? Thoughts, suggestions on what you have found to work well etc. thanks
I have used Z2 Pro with P21S 100% wax layered over it. Brings a nice glossy look. Durability is great. Ive waiting to try some jetseal myself. - Durability has been the main Con of Jetseal but apparantly the looks that it produces is a jaw dropper when topped with a good Nuba.
i really like Js109 as a sealant.. that's what i use for Crystal ROck and all my swissvax.. and soon ezyme.. every time i use cleanerfluid.. i must say i have had js 109 and CR on my 335 for a 3+ months now and it is still beading and sheeting well.. i am amazed esp with one coat each.. SV cleaner fluid really is awesome.. much better that Zymol HD...imo. the JS makes the paint super slick.. with a wax topper i find i have no longevity issues with either one.. i bet i could get another couple months.. but the gloss need some work.. it's out with 85rd thx to a bird bomb anyways.. hope this weekend is a fun one!!
That is a good question. I don't know if sealants need a cure time. I don't think they have anything to out gas...:shrug:
I have had good success with putting wax over sealant numerous times now. Specifically, I frequently use Klasse AIO as my base coat and top that with another sealant such as Opti Seal or Wolfgand Deep Gloss and then either Vic Concours red or ClearKote carnuba moose. Sometimes I just put my wax over the Klasse. I don't wait more than an hour to put the wax over Klasse. I know it is taking hold because there is a further enhancement of the slickness of the feel between Klasse and those other waxes. I have also found the longevity to be very good too. Hope this is of some help. G
I've been using Klasse AIO followed with Klasse SG and topped with a nice carnauba. Been using this for years with great results -- especially with Canadian winters.
thanks for the suggestions, not much of a price difference between kaio and jetseal, so ill probably go with one of those, or perhaps the fk1000p i have comming? 2180>1000p>wax of choice?:gidiup:
right, also considering poli-seal or 501. Not sure if it would be better to go with one of those or a finishing polish and then pure sealant and wax. Probably saves a step
Most sealants require at least a 12 hour cure time and many suggest you wait at least 24 hours before you top it with anything. Thats because it needs the time for the polymers to bond to the paint. Jetseal on the other hand will cure in 15 minutes and can be topped after waiting another 20 minutes after buffing it off. That time saver alone makes Jetseal worth the price to me. I like Purplewidow get amazing results looks and longevity wise when topping Jetseal with a high end nuba.
I agree wth JL 100% on this one. I have been however playing around with WDGPS 3.0 and its good, but jetseal just has that special look to it though!!!
