Waxes easiest to apply and remove. Sits on top of paint. Will only last about a month.

Depending on sealant it can last up to 6 months. Paint must be absolutely clean before application since sealant bonds to paint. You must wait for sealant to cure (up to 24 hours) before buffing layer.

Waxes can be used on top of sealants but sealants on top of wax can have problems bonding to paint.

Do not confuse QD with waxing. QD is only for touch ups between waxing/sealant.

Always apply thin coats. Layering thin coats provide best results. A shot of QD on applicator helps spread coat.

Debating shine of wax vs sealant is worse than the chevy vs ford pickup debate. FWIW, metallics and light colors look better with sealants, darks look better with wax.


I use Zaino sealant once a month alterating Z2 with Z5. I mix 1oz ZFX activation to get about 2 coats each time.

On rims, I use Poorboy's Wheel Sealant. Easiest to get dust off.
