Mixing sealants and waxes appear to be the cause for swirls and fine scratches

I read this post the other day, and it made me think.I feel one big reason
why correction is such a big problem is because of using different products
together. Let me explain,in the thread the person is a newbe to detailing.
He states he applies Klasse AIO first which is an acrylic product similiar to
the one I use,and then applies Blackfire Wet Diamond which is a poly sealant.<br>

He washes the car twice a week and wonders why he has fine scratches and swirls.
He asks the forum if he should apply another coat of BFWD.My answer is No.Why,
because they are two different products.The Klasse AIO was a great choice for
the first coat, but that does not mean BFWD is going to bond to it,so when he
washes the car the BFWD will breakdown much like wax will.<br>

The moderators comes close to the answer by saying you may get some streaking because the previous coat has not cured but that does not makes very much sense.<br>

Very few people have any experience with acrylic sealants,and I can tell you that the only thing that will bond to an acrylic sealant is the same sealant.
If he applies another coat of BFWD as suggested the same thing will happen.
It would be my guess the next time it happens correction will be suggested.<br>


Here is question: Will BFWD bond to a coat of wax? No,so why would anyone think
that wax would bond to BFWD? Here is the thread:[truthindetailing.com];

I feel that applying different sealants and waxes together, and washing them
seems like strong evidence why swirls and fine scratches occur.It surprises
me why these detailing gurus can't see this.

What is required is a cationic bond which is the way amnio functional resins work when they are applied to a paint finish.

The "curing process" is created by an aerobic action, IE air is what makes the curing process take place.

Jim Schmitt of AutoMagic told me you can put a wax over a sealant but you can't put a sealant over a wax because the sealant needs to get down into and bond with the paint.
Combining products cannot and will not produce scratches and swirls.

Scratches and swirls are caused by abrasion.

Just some well-intentioned...NO ! Wait ! That's Bud's line.
