    If you plan on layering, you'll have to choose a wax that is.. well, just a wax. Some waxes are packaged as cleaner waxes and those will eat the underlying sealant layer if you plan on using them after sealing.

    Curing time differs between product to product. In any case, you won't be paying attention to it unless you plan on layering another stuff on top of it. In any case, most sealants are mostly cured after an hour wherein 80% of the curing is actually done in <45 mins. I'm not an OC detailer, just 3 minutes after application of Menzerna's Power Lock to my car, I drove it in the rain for fetching-the-sister-duties. It's not like I'm worrying about "I should let this cure by waiting".

    Madaming car washes ang nagsesealant. Problem is, they're generally more expensive than cheap carnauba waxes.

    The more famous sealants are actually hard to find locally. Many say (in consumer forums such as Autopia) that the #1 and #2 respectively in this market is probably Blackfire Wet Diamond (BFWD) and Menzerna Power Lock (MPL). Some of the easier ones to source locally is Klasse's Sealant Glaze (KSG) which is very known for its durability.

    Personally, I wouldn't sweat it. Use whatever wax or sealant you like. There's a lot of durable waxes out there that can equal most sealant's durability after all.

    Carnauba is a type of natural wax found in trees. It's as hard as concrete so what manufacturers do is to simply take a small portion (ex. 10%) then mix it up with petroleum distillates and other stuff (ex. beeswax, etc.) and voila, you have yourself your typical car wax.

    Okay ba ang turtle wax? Well, if you plan on topping it on top of a sealant layer, I won't recommend it unless sure ka 100% wax lang siya. Most turtle wax products has cleaners on them kasi ;)

    Carnauba is a wax and most commonly found sa mga car waxes natin. However, there are other types of waxes such as beeswax and etc. Whether a certain product contains 100% pure carnauba wax is another matter altogether. A very good example of a pure carnauba wax is Dodo Juice Supernatural wax or Souveran's Pinnacle Wax.
