Adams Liquid Paint Sealant question

[CamaroJim56]

So my car was detailed today, clayed, 1-step polish, and sealed with the Adams. (not by me)

If I wax lets say in a week, in 2 or 3 months, can I use sealant again without stripping the wax?

Whats is the best way to use/do both, wax and sealant?

Thanks all.

You don't ever put sealant on top of wax. Once you apply wax, you don't do sealant again until you strip and start over.

[CamaroJim56]

That answered it, so I have to strip the wax before resealing. That is what I figured.

Have you tried the Adams Liquid Sealant? If so, your thoughts. The guy was gonna use Klasse, but used the Adams for some reason.

I like the Adams sealant, but I think only because I haven't tried the blackfire yet. Adams is user friendly, but I probably need to reapply every 2-3 months. I'm fine with that, because I enjoy the process, but I know a lot of people prefer some more longevity

[CamaroDreams07]

I haven't.

I have. It is good stuff. Blackfire also makes good stuff.

to further question sealant use/methods....

So I can apply sealant over sealant, can I mix brands? What kind of detail spray can I use if I do not want to strip again before adding more sealant? Something like CG V7? It is the only one that comes to mind that is supposedly a sealant detailer that I assume is wax free.

Thanks for everyones help.

Yes sealants can be layered, waxes cannot. You can try to mix brands, although I haven't done it and certain brands may react different ways with one another.

Any detail spray will do. CG V7 is a dual purpose detail spray and spray sealant. Any other normal detail spray such as UWW+, ONR, Adam's, etc. will work also and won't strip any sealant.

Thanks JTruck, I am not worried about the detail spray stripping the sealant, I am concerned about using something that will prevent me from adding a "real" sealant to the coat that was just applied, in the near future. I assume that if I use a spray WAX detailer, that I would have to strip it all again, before doing a sealant, but hoping if I use something like the V7, that I can use a sealant OVER top of it and have it actually "stick".

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Jim

I understand now.

Detail sprays such as ONR and UWW+ do not contain wax, that I know of at least. Sprays like Adam's do. Although I wouldn't think too much of the small amount of wax compound in the detail spray affecting another layer of a sealant.
