    Is this true?

    I recently read an article by Prentice St. Clair who is the author of several detailing magazine articles and is the author of the video training series Detailing for Profit.

    In the article (Back to School, America`s Car Care Business, August 2006) he stated:

    "Automotive wax is not like floor wax, which builds up with repeated application. Automotive wax begins evaporating off the paint as soon as it is applied. In fact, as additional layers are applied, the solvents in the wax will break down any previous layers of wax that are on the paint."

    "The same goes for the silly notion of applying a coat of wax after an application of paint sealant. The solvents in the wax will "melt" the sealant layer right off."


    Is this ture? Do the solvents in wax melt the sealant right off? Do the solvents break down any previous additional layers of wax?

    If it is not true, what specific basis can one use to justify their reasoning?

    Thanks in advance.

    I would give this as much as much deference as I do to outlandish statements in support of detailing products.

    I`d ask the author to give his supporting proof for such statements. How could he measure such things? How did he track the results etc...
