Is this applied before sealant and wax, or afterwards? Also, what is this exactly? I've seen some refer to it as a polish, others as a wax.

I would say the best description is its a glaze, i applied it before the wax. I used the black lite first, then the butterwax and last the sealent, my car came out great, and stsys cleaner longer.

It's really more of a glaze mixed with sealant. More glaze than sealant. Use this to cover minor paint imperfections. Use this product first and top with a sealant or wax.

I use this product as a top coat, or as a stand alone waxing from time to time. It provides a brilliant shine that lasts longer than normal waxes. I also love how easy it is to use, comes off with little effort. Any polishing is done before using this product

I would say after sealant, and it's a wax, it has a excellent shine to it. Not as thick as some wax's out there, but is a excellent product.

It's an all in one polish/wax. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this. I stick with either menzerna power lock sealer or mcguiers marine wax as the last step after polishing with menzerna FG400 or SF4500. I'm not crazy about chemical guys polishes and compounds.

I use it as a polish after my wax. I applied one coat of wax then I use this about 10 times then repeat. And I might add with absolutely outstanding results. A note: I used to use a damp cloth to remove the excess and to buff but went to a dry cloth and have had unbelievable results. I have nothing but great compliments about this product and it has restored my 95 Jeep with people just walking up and complimenting the finish. I know you have equal results.

This is best used as a GLAZE. So it should go on after paint has been clay barred and polished and before a good sealant. There are NO abrasive qualities so it is NOT a polish. Wax usually has carnuba in it in some quantity and this has none. It can be used as a sealant but there are better longer lasting products to go over it as a sealant.

Most definitely! Apply it with a slightly damp, small, pre-used sponge. Allow product/glass to dry to a haze, then easily buff to a shine with a soft, dry towel. Brand-new sponges tend to have a chemical that might cause the wax to be difficult to "buff off" once it has dried...that's why I specified "pre-used."

While many say you don't need to add wax, you can most definitely wax the car after Nu Finish has cured (which I would wait at least a day since the bottle doesn't mention curing time).Nu Finish isn't technically a polish - it is a sealant. Applying wax on top will add to the overall depth and shine.

This is not really a wax-- rather a wax fortifier or glaze. It's probably a wax formulation but highly diluted.I'd keep it off vinyl, leather and most non-glossy plastics.

As a polish, it is intended to come off. It is not a wax or protectant. A good coat of wax should follow the polishing step you use this product for.

I recommend by hand. This is very simple wax protection. Easy on and off IF your cars finish is in good condition (third and last step). This would be your last step after using Mother's polish and wax (second step).

Everything you need is in the box. You don't need to use anything else either before or after........this wax in the box (final step of 4) is a liquid and it will, if really buffed goodand I use an old, fluffy robe, make your car shine like a glass mirror!!! Just do all the steps as instructed............... I LOVE THIS PRODUCT for my black 2002 pt crusier................fills in any scratches, sm dings but WEAR GLOVES and only use old, soft, material things like old socks etc because it is soooooo good it will TURN YOUR HANDS, EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES BLACK!! Jan.Rochester NY..........good luck

It's not a base coat. Just use it as preparation for your base coat. I have oily nails, so I need to prep them before applying polish, otherwise I get the chips. Hope this helps.

This removes light to medium scratches but can also inflict swirling as a result of removing the scratches. That's why Polish is a good idea after. The Polish takes out the swirls left behind by this compound and further enhances the gloss. After Polish do a wax as well. The results will look for better when you follow that order. Compound, polish, then wax. Enjoy! Have a great day.

It's a polish. Not a wax. Not a substitute for soap. You have to remove dirt and grime before or you could cause minor scratches. It wouldn't be the Polish fault though.

Yes, M105 (compound) first, then M205 (polish), then apply a wax or sealant for protection.

It's neither a wax nor a sealant. It's a lubricating spray that loosens dust so you can wipe down your car between washes while reducing the chances of scratching the paint.

I agree with the others on this thread. I am pretty amazed at how long the finish holds up. I've detailed cars professionally off and on for about 20 years. This is hands down one of the best wax products I have ever used. Not just spray waxes, any wax.

Just that one time. You have to mix it with your fingers, quick, before it gets too hard. Mash it on, and it'll stay til you take it off. For the beginning braces pain I preferred this stuff. After six month silicone wax is best.

"a good amount of shine" is very subjective. This is a very good OTC wax, but, as with any wax, the prep work before you apply a wax is what makes most waxes really shine or just look ok. Swirls, scratches, RIDS, faded paint, clear coat failure all have more of an effect on the look of the wax than the wax itself.A very clean car, using a clay bar, polishing out swirls, holograms, small scratches all matter more than most people wold believe. So, I'd start with getting my paint in pristine condition before i started putting wax on the car and hoping it's going to shine like a sunset over a body of water.

You do not need to wax after it's applied. It will leave a very nice protective shine that will mirror images back at you. Great product! I will purchase again...

It's a good idea to clay bar your vehicle. Especially if it's a few years old. That's about it. A clean surface free of debris is all that's required. I went over the Jetseal with a good synthetic wax and it seems to last a long time. If you find that you have a few areas that are a little rough even after using a clay bar kit to can use some pre-wax polish prior to applying the sealant.
