Pete, is there anything saying you can't add a sealant ontop of a wax to give even more durabilty?

Seem to remember something about this, but wouldn't mind having it clarified please.

Pretty sure you can't add wax ontop of sealant though.

You could but it would be fairly pointless. The top layer is your protection and neither would bond to each other as well as they would bond to bare paint.

For ease of use Gtechniq C2V3 is hard to beat, you use so little of it too.

A big difference with sealants and waxes though is generally they need a little cure time to work best.

Already using C2v3 on the big Cat as a top up on the Crystal Serum and ExoV4. Excellent stuff!!

Would recommend Bilt Hamber Double Speed wax, bit grabby, but as long as you keep a fresh face on your MF cloth, I didn't find any issues.

Thread revival!!!

Got the family bus cleaned and polished courtesy of Harland & Wolff today!!

What's the best long lasting wax to treat it to? Hoping for 6 months of protection, if such a thing is possible?

Collinite 845 with Powerlock sealant is amazing,

Powerlock is so easy on and off and so slick/ glossy
