Sealant, wax or both?

Before even thinking sealant and wax I'd suggest inspecting the paint and if it could do with a machine correction I'd recommend doing it or paying to get it done. The shine is only surface and temporary regardless of what wax you use. pour some water on the paint and it will look great till it drains away.

Mine is due a cut as not sone it this year so have a few days next week to fully winter prep the car.

Last years 2 day effort...





snow foam / citrus wash / 2 bucket / clay / snow foam / rinse / dry / DA with Menz intensive / DA with Menz final finish / Collonite #845 / Chem guys XXX wax.

Look a that arch gap haha this was pre H&R

Sealant first then wax for sure. If your looking for s great wax but with longevity look at Collonite insulator wax. It's has a great wet look on lighter colours like silver and lasts a very long time, way way longer than most waxes

Except 845 is technically a sealant not wax :D
 
It's been tweaked since it's early days of electrical cable sealing and definitely a wax. One of the best I've used to date too

That does look good, I'm jealous.
 
Over a year later and it still looks great just with a coat of wax. It needs a clay again for sure and in that time it's picked up some very fine swirls, nothing major and can only really be seen in spot light. Prob only need a final finish to sort
