clg82 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If you don't mind me asking how did you layer yours? Did you do paint sealant fist and then brilliant glaze and then 2 coats of Americana? zapdon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapdon Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) If you don't mind me asking how did you layer yours? Did you do paint sealant fist and then brilliant glaze and then 2 coats of Americana? yes i did sealent, glaze, wax. after wiping sealent off waited 12 hours for sealent to adhere before applying anything else to paint.

clg82 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 yes i did sealent, glaze, wax. after wiping sealing off waited 12 hours for sealent to adhere before applying anything else to paint. what is the benefit if any to putting on 2 coats of the Americana....don't mean to derail your thread just curious as to what your justification was behind it....does it make it shine more? more protection?

That detail i only did one coat of wax. later in the thread i did 2 coats by itself on a different detail. The definitive answer to that is that it makes sure you did not miss any spots and get even coverage especially on a lighter color car. As for more shine and depth i am sure you will hear different answers from different people. This time around i am doing clay, polish sealent and patriot wax and will only do one coat.

pirahnah3 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 That is some nice shine and some really clean paint! cant wait to see her with a coat of patriot. Might I ask why you let the sealant sit on the paint for an hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
