patopig: Nice reflections! Thats good dept right there keep it up. BTW what pads did you use with the ROP?

What sealant did you use?

What carnuba wax did you use?

ILD: Thanks! :D

These were the items I used:

Glaze: 3M IHG
Sealant: Prestone High Protection Wax
Carnauba: Mothers Phase 3 Liquid
Pads: B&D Stock applicator pads. You are correct. They are too thin and they get saturated with the wax quickly. Oh well. Sana meron sa BigBerts nung LC pads. (and sana mura) Hehehe. The megs are expensive at 800 a pop..

Patopig: Nice Work and great reflections again... looks like you're already addicted to this hobby. hehehe

BTW, Prestone High Protection Wax is not a sealant. Although it may be synthetic, it's still a Wax... (I spotted some Fusso at Megamall but they look old)

Wak. My bad. Ehehehe. I get it now. Synthetic not necessarily equals sealant. Does it spell bad business for my layers?

I did find some fusso in Southmall. I saw ones in boxes and in cans (paste?). They looked fairly new (or newly cleaned) I'm not sure which one's better. I was planning on getting one as soon as my prestone ran out but I'm a little bit concerned about the liquid fusso's expiry limitation.

Nope. some people put two layers of the same product just to get even coverage. synthetic then carnauba. not the other way around.

you also have to consider that these are different products you are using so there may be bonding issues (one might affect the other adversely in terms of durability..)

also, one product might slightly change the look of the other product. so try to experiment with your combos and then settle with a look that you'd prefer for this color.

try and observe if there are any problems regarding durability with this combo.

IMO, 2-3 layers is sufficient. but that's just my preference.
