Do I need to wash after polish B4 applying sealant?

IM2C · 07-14-2012, 07:04 PM

Here's what I'm in a middle of:

1. CG citrus gun soak - Done

2. 2 bucket wash/shipskin mit -Done

3. Clay - Done

4. Mag D300/MF cutting pad - Done

5.Meg 205/white pad

6. Menz PO85RD/black pad

7. Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant/blue pad

So my question is: Do I need to wash or use IPA to cleanup between polish and applying sealant?

Thanks in advance.

Wash or alcohol 50/50 wipe down seems to be the most common answers.

Yep, wash it to degrease the polish oils sir... your sealant will stick better.

OK, I'll do foam gun CD citrus wash after polish and before seal. Thanks.

CG Citrus Wash does the job just fine, you can see the oils run down the car
