Paint sealants & waxes understanding

[Rahat083144]

So final verdict is that mirror glaze top up with ultimate wax

Out of these choices yeah. But its overkill. M21 is synthetic and Ultimate Paste Wax is synthetic blend, and both are more focused towards longevity rather than shine.

Ideally synthetic sealants are topped off with carnauba waxes as they are shinier, but as already explained, carnauba on white could cause yellowing.

Personally the only time I top off M21 is with Pinnacle SS II which is a carnauba wax, focused towards shine rather than longevity.

So i have less choices it mean i can select a better sealant and dont need waxes. Prices are concerned i see m21 arround 3.7k and wolfgang around 5.3k and klasse around 5k. I quoted right prices or there is any cheapist source

Compound and polish have abrasive material as the car is quite old know. The paint layer become thin with pasage of time with compunding. May be i am wrong other can better idea

[saad.ikram.5688]

Yeah i dont intend on compounding and polishing the car very often but want to have the paint in perfect condition before applying sealant or glass coat .
Every car has a base coat/ primer then a coat of paint and then 2-3 layers of clear coat whose thickness varies from manufacturer to manufacturer .
With each compound/polish you burn a little but of that clear coat so its recommended to only do that when you want to do paint correction as if you do it regularly you can cut down to the actual paint. What i want is to make the paint perfect then regularly glass coat it so that paint underneath is always perfect even after years and the glass coat is reapplied after regular intervals.

In my opinion no need for waxes. Yes these might seem expensive but once you buy, one bottle lasts years and it becomes hard to finish it. These are more or less the prices but do check different websites for M21. Klasse and Wolfgang are not easily available here so not much to compare.

Do check:

Daraz
Luxeautospa
Pakwheels
Autox
Autohub
Automarket

You can use collinite as a sealant. You don't need any other sealant before and after but rest you order is fine.
Wash
Sealant (collinite or other)
Wax
That's all.

[Khurramchauhdary]

You can skip one for other m21 and collinite. Both hove the same purpose but there is no harm if you intended to use both. That's okay.

[Khurramchauhdary]

As far as I remembered @arkhitekt had glass coat on his X. So he is saying with his personal experience if I am not wrong.

[Khurramchauhdary]

M21 or collinite whatever you like. and yes you can top up it with wax or quick detailer.

[tiger4]

the point is not they are expensive may be i conveyed wrong, i am concerned about competitiveness of prices.

[tiger4]

My car colour is white how can i go for carnauba based sealants . Suggest good combo along with duration of delay on application

[tiger4]

No he didnt he has klasse sealant as he told followed by collinite 476

[Khurramchauhdary]

Better not to go for carnuba based, I am using collinite 845 as sealant, topped it up with any one out of my stock which includes Maguire ultimate paste wax, mothers synthetic wax, Maguire ultimate spray wax and nanoskin spray wax as and when required. As for durations collinite 845 stay for 4 to 6 months if not more and wax for 2 weeks but it depends upon atmosphere of you surroundings, city where you drive and parking where you parked etc

[tiger4]

I think your car colour is dark that why you opt for collinite 845

[Khurramchauhdary]

I have white oriel and I use collinite 845 because its not pure carnuba based but a mixture of synthetic and carnuba and we only have to apply it once or twice a year so it is safe to use on white due to very minimal frequency of use., I spent 3 hours today on formal exterior detailing.
Washed with Karcher k2 and mjjc foam lance
Maguire ultimate wash and wax shampoo
Than applied collinite 845
Topped up with mother's synthetic wax
Finished with Nanoskin Vitality.

[tiger4]

bro your picture are not doing justice to detailing and effort. As I learned for white colours one should go for protection than glass

[tiger4]

Expert recommend using Collinite 845 double coat as sealant and no other wax is needed. In older time meguiars product are famous now i am hearing most of peoples talking about collinite and other. do they justice or just change of flavor like try another brand

[Khurramchauhdary]

Pictures are taken inside garage after magrib without any single light source. 🤣

[Khurramchauhdary]

Waxes are always needed if you want to extend the life of sealants

[tiger4]

I studied on different forums all are agree for double coat of any sealant for even coat application
