I like the idea of using a sealant with multiple coats of non-cleaner carnauba over it. Where can I get the seanant pictured above, and how many $$$.
one of the old-fashioned uses of the term!!

I'll check it out. I do know about he "old defininition" of Polish. For example, I've got some Autoglym Radiant Car polish from England that will shine ANY car up like a new dime. Will hide scratces and swirils too. Problem is, if something isn't applied on top of it, it will wash off. That's what I've got beneath the "pure" carnauba" on all my cars right now. Looking good afeter three months, but don't know after that. Will Finish First wash off when it is "bare?" I'd really kike to hear of something I could put on top of my Autoglym that would REALLY seal int in, then some coats of carnauba. Will Finish First do that?
With the NXT, I know what folks are trying to do. NXT contains some synthetic sealers, on top of which you can apply non-abrasive carnauba. But my experience too has been that NXT breaks down fairly quickly, and does not provide reliable sealant base. It is also a PIA to apply, in that it takes a jackhammer to get it buffed off!
So, basically, I would like to do what polishing is necessary with a ROB, apply Autoglym to "richen" the fininsh and hide minor imperfections, then SEAL IT DOWN before applying non-abrasive carnauba. Will First Finsh do that for me?
