Hey people
just on clean your car.co.uk browsing for some cleaning goodies to ensure car is at its best for PVS, and i understand the fact of firstly polish then later glaze to bring the paint really to a glossy finish and add reflectiveness
would just like to ask is sealent the same as wax just not natural substances ?
i.e if i use sealent no need for wax or the other way round ?

thanks

serious? i always waxed then sometimes used a sealant on top of the wax to give it a better finish.

i understand the wax acts as a protective coating on the paint anyway.

Wax is a natural LSP and the Sealant is synthetic they can give slightly different finishes so it is down to preference. Wax's generally promote a metalic finish where as a Sealant gives a slick wet finish. Depends what you want.

I'd probably look at a filler glaze such as Checmial guys EZ Creme and top with a Sealant such as Chemical Guys Black Light.

However if you want a durable wax go for Collenite 476 really hard to beat!

Last stage product/protection

That combo shold be good although for silver cars people rave on about the Werkstat Accrylic kit.

I'd roam about on Detailing word if you have any questions.
