Which sealant: 3m IHG or Klasse sealant glaze? Put wax on top?

[ChicagoRay]

which one?



I was going to put P21s wax on top, since I already have it... thoughts?

3M IHG is not a sealant, it`s just a hand glaze that some people use before waxing.



I would not use 3M IHG over Klasse, the high solvent content in the IHG can actually eat away at the Klasse over time.

I already own P21s Polish and Wax so I`m using them - I`m not using the Klasse all in one 1st....



I`m new so I`m not sure of the exact terminology - but by sealant I refer to stuff that I will put on after polish that gives that deep shiney wet look, then you put wax on top to protect that finish.... Right? :confused: :)

Sealants are considered polymers that seal the paint and provide more protection than a carnuba wax.



Zaino, Klasse, Blackfire, Liquid Glass, Finish First, Meguiars #20 are some popular Polymer sealants.

Would you use Klasse AIO or SG as the sealent on a newer car?

So if I`m already "Dawning" and Polishing, is it a "Glaze" that I`m looking for to put between polish and waxing? If so - which glaze is the question i`m asking... Silver car, want the super deep shine and gloss.

Or am I missing another step?

Depends on the paint if I would use AIO. Both are a sealant but AIO cleans and removes some oxidation etc.



Some prefer to use AIO (1-2 layers) + SG (1-4 layers).



I suggest reading about each product on the CMA website as they have good info about each. Also many threads on here discuss the pros & cons as well.



Also the paint color would also be a key in determining which brand sealant I would use.

[imported_Ranger]

The CMA website list two cons for both AIO and SG.



Con: Can highlight swirls and paint imperfections.

Con: Some enthusiasts feel the shine is "sterile" on dark color cars.



Doesn`t sound liek what I`d be looking for on a black car.

yeah i have a silver car...



I already have P21s Polish and Wax. Can the P21s Polish and a wash with P21s bodywash or dawn take the place of the Klasse AIO?

[Lemonxxs]

If your paint is clean, oxidation free, etc etc then I feel AIO is not required. Others will disagree but that is why we have this forum.



PS for Silver paint I would consider Zaino as it looks better to me on Silver than Klasse. But that is my opinion.
