AW and waxes

[Bigpikle]

just thinking about getting some AW for topping waxes`s, especially in winter etc, but if I use it can I then top up the wax again with another layer, over whatever might be left of the AW?



Also, can I top ANY waxes and sealants with AW or are there any bonding issues?



many thanks

Yep, AW will suit you just fine. You`ll probably notice your paint looking even better the day after you apply it.

Hello!



You know whats better then AW? Pinnicle Souveran Spray wax, it looks great, gives 3 weeks of seriously intense beading. I recommend!



If you already have AW, its a good product and i have it and like it. It gives a good shine and protection. You are safe to use it over Nuba or Sealant.

cheers guys - havent got any yet but have been looking at it for ages.



Am also tempted by UQD, but as its more £ I thought AW might be a better solution. Hadnt considered Souveran spray wax though? Otherwise was thinking about OCW?

Hi



OCW is being replaced, in the UK its the same price i think as Souveran Spray. With Souveran spray, you just mist a panel and buff, no hazing.



Easy great results!

New formula for OCW out soon. I tried a sample and was VERY impressed. Same as you say with Souveran, just mist and wipe in NO STREAKS! Who needs a QD when wax is as easy as OCW and Souveran?

Just for the sake of discussion, I sometimes think that the added lubricity/encapsulation (presumably) offered by QDs could be good for post-wash wipe-downs. Some vehicles tend to retain some dirt in weird places and after I blow things dry with the compressor the water I need to dry off isn`t always perfectly clean.



I like the idea of switching to some spray wax when I use up my QDs, but for what I use `em for (that drying/wipe-down after the wash) I wonder if QDs aren`t safer :confused:

No problem. I think there`s an acronym list around here somewhere.

Don`t get me wrong, I keep some QD stregth ONR in the car at all times. And I will always use QD as I dry after a wash too. But I was just really impressed with the durability of the spray wax, I mean it`s a spray...how good could it be. You know! The bottom line is, if your paint doesn`t need correction-new OCW is awesome. ONR wash and OCW in like 30 min. It just doesn`t get much better unless you can train the wife to do it, haha!
