polishing and waxing

Hong Chau said:

just a question.

I've had my car treated with V.I.P crystal glaze paint protection. they say that you never need wax or polish the car. reason for my question is that the paint doesn't seem to feel "smooth" or "slippery" after a wash.

i heard that if you do wax a car with crystal glaze you risk damaging the paint protection.

just wondering if this is true and has anyone had this dilemma before?

any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

I think we answered this one for you in another forum?

You can wax over paint protection with a good quality Carnauba wax or use a non cleaner type sealant glaze like Poorboys EX-P. Just don't use a polish or anything with any cleaning or abrasive properties.

I hate to say this but the protectant you have on your finish is a joke. I used to work at a dealer and we would sell the paint protection as an option and in a nut shell, a policy is placed on your paint in the event they can't fix it, it will be resprayed.

With some elbow grease go and wash your car, use a cleaner wax, then clay bar it, and then put a coat or two of wax and you will think you have a new paint job. If you maintain your paint, it "should" last for a long time.

Totally agree.

Hong Chau,

You can buy Carnauba waxes at any auto store. Just make sure it states that it has no cleaning properties.

You can also buy good quality stuff at Waxit.com.au or Damian's site www.finalinspection.com.au
