Wax after polish OK?

[Hurley711]

I use Ardex products(local company very good stuff) and they make a real nice polish along with a Gold Supreme paste wax. I use strictly the wax in winter to protect against road salt and stuff but in the summer I use the polish. Is it OK to seal the polish with the wax after applying the polish first? TIA

You should always wax after the polish.

Ed---thanks man

[Ed Blown Vert]

Yep, like you said. Without the wax. No protection.

If you first wax then polish you will be taking off all the wax. Polishing gives a good glossy appearance and wax keeps this look longer.

chaman---wax seals it all in right? TIA

[chaman]

Yes. Thats why in a recently painted car you should never put on wax for at least a month since the paint needs to breathe during the curing process. Wax will seal a still curing paint causing bubbling or discoloration in it.

I agree, if you have time to do both a polish first wax after will give the best shine. I love the meguires 3 stage products but they take FOREVER to apply/remove!
