sealant again after many waxes ?

[searle]

OK, every spring and fall I do a full cycle of wash +clean +polish/glaze(#7) +synthetic sealer(Klasse or #21) +carnuba wax(#26). Then, weekly washes(#00) and every month or two I typically do a wax (Gold Class) or polish(7)+wax(26).

After several months, if I wanted to repeat the sealer (for its durability), can I do that without a full paint clean to remove polish+wax? Will sealer bond over the current polish +carnuba wax?

My car (96 Camaro SS) has over 250,000 KMs (winter driven and summer autocross+track events) and still looks good after 10 years of Meguires: http://www.swbs.com/mosp1024.gif

It is totally safe to go in and re-apply the sealant to your finish over what you have done in the past. This will help to keep the protection at its best. Really though, it is up to you whether you will need to re-apply the other products or not. Just take time before you start to evaluate the surface. If it is not up to you expectations then you may want to do your steps again.

The question you ask is a common one and there are a couple of threads that addresses this under Hot Topics, in the Information Station

A question on wax bonding and the potential for interference by a quick detailer?
