Thanks for the quick reply! You have a blue jazz? i have a red one! apir! PAK!hehe

1.For me I wait atleast 8 to 12 hours before layering waxes. For sealants it should be 24 hours and as long as there are no cleaners on the wax that you are applying the it should be ok.

ok, i'll wait for 12 hours before applying the second layer of wax

2. Yes, you need to strip old layers of wax before applying new layer so I will bond properly to the paint. For me what I do is use a lot of car shampoo when washing then clay the whole car. Polishing also removes protection or you can use mothers step 1 pre wax cleaner.

I'll just use a lot of car shampoo because step 1 contains abrasives right? i wouldn't wanna reduce my clearcoat

3. There's a lot of debate going on on different detailing forums about bonding issues with different products. You can always wash the car again or Spray Ispropyl Alcohol diluted with water 1:1 after claying just to be sure.

ok, thanks for the tip

4. Haven't tried sliq yet but i think i will lubricate the surface enough to prevent the clay from sticking. You can try ONR the 32oz bottle can make 16 gallons of clay lube and its much more economical.

wow! 16 gallons, perfect for me. What brand would you reco for an ONR?
