Mixing different brand of sealant.

[klnyc]

Hey guys,



I was wondering can I lay different brand of sealant each time I apply it? If I wait like 24hr to 48hr or a week later time.



Like this:



UPP

EX-p

DP Sealant

WG Sealant

etc

etc

I couldn`t see that it would make any difference, but don`t expect to see any better protection or durability, and expect it to look like whatever you put on last.

I mixed UPP and NXT and it looked good, durability..i dunno, but it was slick.

Im going try it out tonight. So far I have UPP on it. So, by tonight I`m going top with Detail Pride Premium Surface Shield(DPPSS). Then by Tues night, I top another sealant(WGS or SG).

Can I ask WHY? they are all going to be optically different, and you won`t get the true look of what the sealant would look like alone, plus it won`t add any better protection. So I`m just curious why you wouldn`t try one with a few layers, strip it after a month, and try another with a few layer?

assuming the different layers are allowed to cure- why not experiment :think: If layering does nothing then why do so many use AIO as a base? or layer 3-5 layers of Z? I`ve used sealants and then layered blended waxes on top.

It`s just a experiment, I`m not using on my car(if i work I may do it). I have trunk that I pick up from the local junk to test out various of wax/sealant/glaze,etc. Sofar UPP bond with DPPSS, I use a Sharpie marker to write down a number by each layer as I go. So far now I have total of 2 layers. Try put 3rd layer by tonight ;)

Now that makes sense. I would set of a design of experiments, and break trunk up into 3 regions. Use a control (mulitple layers of your favorite wax/sealant), and 2 regions of experimental layering. After you build up some layers, you can check for optical clarity. Sounds interesting.
