0 LFairbanks Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Doesn't replace the paint sealant. And doesn't last as long as the paint sealant. But does provide quick and easy protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jack5hd Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 you r correct....just did the baggie test and it needs clayed and polished and then sealed .dont have time right now and that is why i did the guard and gloss to at least get something on the paint.....suppose to last for a while........jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 LPS is about a 5-6 month sealant on its own. GG is a 2-3 month sealant but shares same base properties as LPS - It can be used on its own, just applied every month or two. Or you can apply LPS, and boost the protection every 2-3 months with GG and you probably can get almost a year of protection out of that regimen before you'd want to clay it and re-seal.

0 Rich Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Clay it, seal it, and then use the G&G on it every few washes after that to maintain protection. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sahls01gmc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 And don't use too much......much like the CAPS lock, a lil goes a long way! Texas Moe and pirahnah3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come warm weather strip wash the vehicle and then go to town with a bunch of product. You will only be improving things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Green Machine Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 From my experience guard and gloss works a bit longer than 2-3 months. So it is well worth it to get it instead of liquid paint sealant. Just my opinion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 From my experience guard and gloss works a bit longer than 2-3 months. So it is well worth it to get it instead of liquid paint sealant. Just my opinion here. I've had a little longer protection than 2-3 months with one application on one of my vehicles as well, but we like to say 2-3 months to cover the majority of environments that it will see - heat, cold, rain, snow, salt, garaged or parked outside, etc Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 flamefighter Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 HI guys is it wise to use a carnuba paste wax and then a paint sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 HI guys is it wise to use a carnuba paste wax and then a paint sealant. Nope. Use the sealant FIRST and top it with the wax. That is - if you are using Adam's stuff..... Other companies use the terms differently. Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 marquez93 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks but can you give me a brief explanation as to why. I am going to use adams products just like to know Sealants actually bond with the paint, so it's best to put them on paint that is as clean as possible. Waxes just sit on the surface, so put them on top and they won't interfere with the bonding of the sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
