wax and sealant

[masterdetailer]

i was wondering if you can apply a spray wax then the ceramic boost after polishing? more to bring the gloss out more..

You could, but there's no benefit.

 

Let's clear something up about gloss and finishes.  Waxes (and even ceramic coatings) have a small effect on the glossiness of a vehicle.  Think of your last step as a protection piece of the puzzle.

 

Your gloss largely comes from the prep you put in.  Great polishing will result in great gloss.  Make the surface clean and free of defects.  Then protect the finish you created with a choice of last step protection products.  At that point it's your choice of waxes, sealants or ceramics.

 

Personally I don't see the need for the spray wax and a ceramic based product.  Different technologies that don't need to be together for any effect in this case.
