Is the wax to late?

[Mliner]

I just washed the car using the following products

1. Car wash soap
2. Clay Magic clay
3. Klasse All-In-One
4. Adams Scratch Remover & Revive Polish

I didnt have time to butterwax it, but i wanted to know if i can do it later on tonight, if it`s safe enough
I wanted to know if use the following:
Poorboy`s Spray & Waterless wash
and then put on the butterwax to complete the detail or will have to wait til next time to wax the car?

I`m not too sure how much of an effect S+W will have on the glaze, but Klasse has a fair bit of protection, so in that regard, you should be "protected." You may want to re-glaze after the S+W, but before the Butterwax. Try doing 1/2 of a panel to see if you notice a difference. If not, then just S+W and add the Butterwax.

By re-glaze do u mean the Klasse?

Whoops! Sorry. I had it in my mind you used the spray glaze too.
Just the S+W then apply the Butterwax should be fine.

Well, the Adams more then likely removed the AIO protection also....Your fine washing and waxing. Make sure your get all your polishing in before you apply any product with protectants in it (AIO). The AIO would probably have given you better durability then the Butterwax.

So should i Re-Apply Klasse?Then one coat of Butter wax?Or should i not even do butter wax and put on another coat of Klasse?

AIO then butterwax.

AIO then butterwax.

Precisely, the BW will provide a beneficial layer of protection for the AIO`s acrylic protection. (Albeit shortlived)

AIO then butterwax.

Yea but i just put Klass AIO then i put the other Adams products.Will another coat of Klasse harm the paint?And if i do Klasse Aio again do i repeat all the other products which i listed above?{Adams Revive,Scracth remover]?

The Adams polish removed your AIO, so you back to zero protection. You can either BW or AIO it again....Id go with the AIO for better protection. Consider this a lesson learned..... :dunno
If you desire, you can apply the BW AFTER the AIO. I dont know what visual benefit your going to get, other then 3 weeks max protection on top of the AIO.

So will it be better if i just use AIO and leave it with no Butter wax on top of it?If i do so,How long will my protection be?

If your really looking for serious protection, your going to have to find a polymer as opposed to a `carnub". However, theres nothing wrong with topping poly`s or acrylics with a carnauba. You can put BW on top of all in one, but it seams your going to quite a bit of work here. You may be better suited using all in one as your cleaner, then topping with a single purpose sealant, like UPP.
Once the BW is gone, (which will only be a few weeks, max), then your left with what AIO provides. Its my belief that Polymers provide every bit as much depth, and clarity as any carnauba. My $.02. Blackfire, EX-P or FS UPP would be my first choices.
