wax then sealer?

Wow that long? Just wondering I not going to do it but what happens if you do it early and not wait will it mess up the paint?



Sealants need time to cure, so topping with a wax too soon will not hurt the paint, but will diminish the durability and or the look of the sealant.

Another thing to keep in mind, is it might be advantageous to avoid moisture on the sealant until it is cured such as excessive humidity, rain, washing it, etc. That is what a few products say at least, so it might be something to think about?



Otherwise, yes. Sealant then wax.

Good to no .
 
As stated it is sealant and then wax. Honestly, I would just pick one or the other. I see no benefit other than a marginal difference in shine if you top a sealant with a paste wax or spray wax. Even if the sealant is cured, the petroleum solvents in wax may strip off some of the sealant. Something like Optimum Car Wax does not contain solvents, other than water, so you could use that.
