3. You would get better durability from the DWG (and any sealants you then put on top of the DWG) if you put it down on bare clear coat. Sealants (and DWG is a weak sealant) typically don't bond well to waxes or traditional glazes, like Red Moose. You mentioned that you did Vanilla Moose->RMG->Opti-Seal. The Opti-Seal isn't going to give you very good durability that way, as sealants won't bond well to traditional glazes like RMG. Try using the DWG instead of RMG. DWG is *meant* to be used prior to a sealant, so it won't hurt the durability/bonding of any sealant you put on after the DWG. RMG is great stuff, but if you're going to use it, you should top it with a carnauba based LSP. RMG plus a good carnauba will give you good defect hiding abilities if you need to cover stuff up. |
Thanks SuperBee, I really appreciate it. The correct pairing of different styles of glazes with either sealants or carnauba is the kind of information that is super valuable for me to know, but that can be somewhat confusing to figure out just by reading posts here. I was fairly happy with my old Vanilla Moose> Red Moose>Opti-Seal, but I like DWG a LOT and see the potential for a wetter look, which is what I am after.
Thanks to your additional info I have the confidence to try using use UPGP or OS after DWG, and know the pairing will be a good combo. I appreciate the help and look forward to triyng it out this weekend.
