    Sequence/Time

    What is the sequence for applying Meguiars Glaze; Sealant and Carnuba?
    Also what amount of time (curing if any) is needed between application of coats?
    Kindest Regards

    Hi Paul, and welcome to MOL.

    We've moved your post from the Hot Topics section to Detailing 101 as you'll get more responses/views here.

    To your question, we're assuming you're talking about products like M07 Show Car Glaze, M21 Synthetic Sealant and M26 High Tech Yellow Wax (or Deep Crystal Polish, NXT Tech Wax and Deep Crystal Carnauba in the consumer line for those of you looking to cross over).

    In that case you would apply a thin coat of the pure polish first (M07, DCP) doing so in small areas at a time and wiping off before it dries. There is no need to wait any length of time before moving on to.......

    Next would come the sealant (M21, NXT) applied in a very thin and uniform coat to all the painted surfaces of the car and allowed to dry fully before wiping off. At this point you don't absolutely have to wait before applying the carnauba wax (M26, DCCW) or even apply the wax at all. Sealants are really just synthetic waxes and serve the same purpose, though they do tend to last longer and protect better than carnauba waxes do. Generally speaking.

    If, however, you really want to use a carnauba over the sealant (and plenty of people really do like this) then the very best way to do so is to give the polymers in the sealant at least 12 hours to cure fully. After that time, if the car has gathered some very light dust, use a mist & wipe product like Quik Detailer to safely remove that dust before applying the wax. Wax application will be identical to that of the sealant, though you may find the carnauba wax hazes over a bit faster than the sealant does.
