Can i use a polymer sealant?

[21.04]

This is a new product routine im looking at :



1) Clay

2) Megs DACP

3) No.9 swirl remover

4) No.81 Hand Polish

5) P21s



Thing is, can i use No.20 Polymer Sealant and if so at what stage?

The car is garaged and the main requirement is a deep wet look shine.



Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers Guys, Mark

4.5) No.20 Polymer Sealant

so adding the sealant AFTER the polish, won`t it remove the it?

Thats an aweful lot of abrasives.....are you sure you need all of that ? Not too mention Meg`s # 20 has a cleaner (abrasive) in it....You may consider leaving the swirl remover out.......DACP, followed by another light polish is generally considered adequate for most applications.....And you really cant layer # 20 due to the cleaners in it......at any rate, your sealant is your last step, before topping with a Carnauba....

There`s been some discussion on various forums on this topic, but basically Mike Phillips has suggested that #20 is compatible with #7 and #81, and it`s a combination.



I personally would skip #9. If you work DACP properly, you won`t need #9.



So then you`re left with:

1) Clay

2) DACP

3) #81

4) #20

5) P21S

A sealant , nor a wax can ever remove a polish,

`cause a polish isn`t something you put on.

A polish is something abrasive that removes a tiny layer of paint so that yo can get rid of swirls.

After polishing and buffing, nothing of the polish should remain(except some minor dust).

A polish is a paint -prep- step

a sealant or a wax is a protection-step

The point is megs hand polish leaves alot of oils on the suface to give that deep wet look, will the no 20`s cleaners remove them?

The word "polish" means different things to different manufacturers. For Meguiar`s, it means the same thing as "glaze" does to 3M.



Mike Phillips from Meguiar`s said that you can put #20 over #81, and it won`t remove the wet look; I tried it, and you CAN DEFINITELY put #20 over #81 (or, in my case #7), and keep the wet look. Then try #26 over that.
