So i just clay barred her today. Would you guys recommend that i wax it as soon as possible, or would that be a bad idea? Any other suggestions/anything are welcome :tomato

um.. I think you should... right now there is NO protection on our paint.

 

[HMUSN]

yes.. wax it.

Thanks a lot for the help

Sorry for the double post, I get a message saying i can't edit after 15 minutes.

Got another question - would now be a good time to put my stickers on, before the wax, to ensure that they stay? I bought the 5.4L v8 and some bumper insert graphics.

ummmm unless you did a swap you have a 4.6L

 

[f8youthmidman]

yes, my bad. I wasn't thinking :dunno

if u drive it between claying & waxing u pretty much defeated the whole purpose of claying it & might as well start over

but polish it before u wax it. polishing will fill in the micro scratches in the clear coat & waxing will protect it

make sure the surface is very clean before you seal it with ether wax, or some kind of sealant. i recommend ZAINO Z2 as a sealant. also if you can, get her buffed and polished then seal it.

 

[f8youthmidman]

Should i use some kind of sealant before i wax, but after the clay bar? Or only a sealant, no wax?

 

[pilot37]

1. clay bar
2. polish
3. wax

the wax is the sealant per se
the wax is meant to protect the clear coat on the paint & the polish & should be applied about every 3 months (depending on how often you drive, wear you park, wear you drive & how often you wash it)
if you want a truer sealant, i would go with Rejex instead of a traditional wax. Rejex lasts close to 6 months
