Quick question for all the wax gods out there....
I have FMJ, and some carnuba paste wax made by SurLustre........
IF I was interested in layering them, which would I want to put on first?
This is going on a silver (ok ok, Desert Platinum) G35....
Thanks

FMJ first (sealant) then the wax.
Sealants typically always need to be applied first, to ensure proper bonding with the paint. Sealants will not bond well (if at all) over other waxes, generally, and will hurt durability.
Also, don`t know too much about your wax product, but you should make sure its not a cleaner wax, or else it will remove all of the FMJ in the process.

First FMJ, then if you want the carnauba. I would wait a week before putting on the carnauba.

This stuff. It is very purely wax, thats it. This is that japanese company that people rave
about. I have only been able to find this particular wax in one place, and its actualy a local
car paint store. Works wonders, I use it on a dark-blue motorcycle... very slipery...
keeps the nasty girls off the back :D
