shouldn't it be wax first and then sealant ?

interesting read now i have waxed the car Doh!

so the sequence is wash the car
dry it
use something like ambersil show shine to seal it
and then a good quality wax ???

i have already detarred,t-cut etc before i put the original wax on

so the sequence is
rinse the dirt off
wash the car
dry it
use something like super resin to seal it
and then a good quality wax ???
and show shine on top

all agreed

Johnson's baby shampoo is good and relatively cheap

Thanks for the tip

For best protection and shine this is what i use and the car looks amazing..... autoglym super resin followed by blitz wax. autoglym is avaliable from halfords and blitz by mail order only from frost.co.uk

took your advice and bought blitz wax
