question about sealant then waxing!
 
So ive noticed that after i lay down some Meguiars sealant 2.0 then wax, its leaving oily like streaks and spots. hard to really explain.

If i take my rag and really wipe it hard it comes out. whats causing this?

..... on the other side of the car i simply cut it then applied wax, no issue!!! :/

I want to make sure i got a proper sealant first though....

any help....would be great.

Not really sure. I would like to know because I'm buying these products too.

im assuming they just dont mix well.... I skipped the sealant on the other side and just used wax and no oily streaks at all....

Ive just used Adam's quick sealant and their Buttery Wax and they work perfectly together!

There were also about 8 other steps too but that's not what is in question here.

those two products you are using probably arent meant to go together.

I recommend using Adams if you get the chance. I have nothing but good things to say about their products

I haven't used Meguiars 2.0, but I have used Meguiars NXT 2.0 and Ultimate. I've layered Meguiars Yellow carnauba over the top of both with good results. Are you sure the sealant is completely dry? I usually apply the sealant on one day and the wax on the following day.

im letting the sealant dry for like 10-15 min. its probably a chemical thing.

think im going to skip this 2.0 sealant and use my opti-seal then wax.

My guess is that the sealant is not cured enough before you are applying the wax. See this thread on auto-geek

how long to add sealant then wax? - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum

how long does the label say to let the sealant sit before applying a second coat or wax?

RyanWest 05-14-2012 12:36 PM

it says 10-15 min :/

RyanWest 05-14-2012 12:38 PM

well damn, that thread is saying wait hours before applying wax.... hmmmm

Zaggeron 05-14-2012 01:00 PM

It can also take longer to cure if it is humid ...
