Well after making the plunge to purchase products, a free bonus gift included was xmt 360, I was wondering if this would be the proper order in which to apply my purchased items, also is XMT360 a good enough paintsealer that I can exclude the purchase of Wolf Gang paint sealant?? Would the XMT 360 strip off prior polishes?

UDM intro package
XMT#3
XMT360
Wolfgang Paint Sealant
S100 carnauba wax

I was reading and some people mentioned that the XMT 360 should not be used before the wolfgang paint sealant because the 360 in itself is a paint sealant and would be useless since the wolfgang would need a clean polished surface to bind to. Some people have even said just apply the XMT360 by itself only since it is an all in one type of compound. Does anyone else have any more input on this topic?? thanks

 

very good question... and i dont have your answer.

i know that you can use the s100 over either the wolfgang or xmt, but do not know whether the wolfgang would bind to the xmt or not.

if you already own them, go ahead and try- worst case would be the wolf will not bind and when you buff it off it will come off. my only other thought is to be sure to let the base cure extra long before trying to layer.

 

For background info I have a 2002 toyota celica with about 62-63k miles on the odo. The has been cared for and waxed/detailed religiously but it does have its fair share of swirl marks (daily driver and washed every other week)do you guys think I would benefit more with the Menzerna Intensive polish with the Menzerna Final polish? or should I swap the final polish for the micro polish? thanks again

 

Yes I believe your order is correct. s100 is basically p21s. I have not used WOlfgangs sealant so i can not say how it will look.
What pads do you have.

 

You can use wolfgang over 360. I've done it multiple times with great results.

 

thanks euclid...

i think you should post up some pics of your clean car on the w&w and pm me for the badge that it sure seems you should have- you sound like one of us!!



one of the things that i love about this board is no matter what combo we can come up with, someone has tried it!!

 

Thanks, wanabe. I'll have to post up some pics of my car, but here's an example of a 360 polish followed by wolfgang with polycharger in it. It's my dads 00' 323i.
