[QUOTE="SSS 18734, post: 6205213, member: 559710"] Don't worry, it will still buff out. It might just be a bit harder. You could always machine buff it. There really isn't much of a debate... A good sealant is a far superior product to wax protection-wise. If you take immaculate care of your car, you will still have to apply carnuba wax AT LEAST 8 times a year in order to constantly have a layer of protection over your paint. A good sealant will last up to a year, although I've found 5-6 months is a bit more realistic under normal conditions. You're lucky if your wax lasts a month. And synthetic waxes that last longer than that are typically more expensive than sealants... but still don't last half as long. For a daily driver, wax is totally outdated. As for application, it's not really any easier to apply, but it is a bit easier to buff out. All in all, it's about the same amount of work. Sealants also have their own "look." They look absolutely stunning on cars with metallic flakes - the sealant's high reflectivity really makes them stand out and gives the car a very aggressive look. They look excellent on glossy silvers and whites as well. Gloss blacks and reds though... not so much. A good wax looks slightly better on these due to its lower reflectivity, which gives it a "deep" and classy appearance. Do what I do and put down a layer of sealant, and wax over it! [/QUOTE]
