Where does SEPC fit in?

[imported_NHBFAN]

If you`re using the Klasse twins topped with S100, where does SEPC fit in? Won`t applying SEPC remove the Klasse?



I`ve been considering glazes before waxing, e.g. Meg`s #7, but same dilema ... it will remove Klasse also.

SEPC is a final light polish before wax or sealant. AIO pretty much does the same thing so its a wasted step with the "twins". But those of us using carnauba or a non-cleaning sealant benefit from SEPC.

Well, I planned to use the Klasse twins every 6 months and maintain it will S100, but SEPC will remove the Klasse, right? Same with glazes.

Right. IMO most of the Klasse will be gone in 6 months anyway so by then the paint could use some polishing.

Would SEPC + MEG`S #7 + S100 produce a better shine than SEPC + S100 alone?

Hard to say. Any answer is pretty subjective. Why not try it and see if you like it?

bretfraz,



You said, "But those of us using carnauba or a non-cleaning sealant benefit from SEPC."



What`s an example of a non-cleaning sealant? Won`t SEPC remove it too?

[imported_BretFraz]

Zaino and Klasse SG are examples of non-cleaning sealants.



Its hard to say if SEPC will remove mulitple layers of Zaino or SG, especially if they`re recently applied. But you previously created the context of using Klasse every 6 months and using that example, I`m guessing that SEPC will remove what`s left of Klasse.

NHBFAN, you would use SEPC before the sealant as the last superfine polish.



I use it even before AIO, just after 3M SMR as I feel it removes every little bit of haze that SMR might have left and it produces extremely nice shine that doesn`t seem to go away even with AIO removing left oils.

SEPC/GEPC is going to be the last step in paint preparation before I put Zaino, non-cleaning polymer.

Now I`m considering this combo:

1) SEPC

2) AIO

3) UPP or Blackfire (undecided)

4) S100



How does this sound?

I`m assuming your paint is in good condition enough for SEPC and AIO to be enough polishing?

No. 3 is an overkill IMO.

I hear what 4DSC is saying, better spend time polishing your paint, paint prep is what really makes a difference.
