Waxing day after polishing

[Louis]

So I washed, clayed, polished my clio yesterday but ran out of light before I got chance to wax it. I then drove about 30 miles last night back home as i was washing the car at my mum's.

Can I now safely wax the car or do I need to wash it all again and then re-polish?

You need to wash the car again to remove the dirt it will have picked up from the drive home and overnight.

 

[Louis]

But there's no reason to re-polish?

I thought I'd have to wash but was hoping to get away with QD haha

 

[JamesBryan]

Just wash it, no need to polish.

 

[Louis]

Decent. Do I not risk stripping the polish off? I'm using autoglym blue shampoo

 

[imprezaworks]

Just wash it with that and wax it. The shampoo would need to be crap to remove the polish.

Stripping the polish?

You realise polish isn't a coating, there's nothing to strip off.

I ain't no detailer.

I'm using poorboys black hole so surely you can 'strip' off the fillers etc that it provides, or am I wrong? Washed it again and applied 2 coats of natty wax now anyways

Yeah you can strip a glaze quite easily.

 

[brisa4984]

you would have to reapply blackhole

 

[andybond]

Try Sonax. It’s quite cheap , it’s bloody good and it’s dead easy to apply to a near perfect car.

 

[BaileyWolves]

I would just get a pre wax cleaner or a detailing spray go over the car with a micro fibre cloth remove and dust dirt ect then apply your wax

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

It’s just a guess but I reckon he applied the wax sometime back in November 2018 ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Unless he's really patient in awaiting replies

 

[Craig]

Lol

 

[BaileyWolves]

Fingers crossed he cleans his car more than once a year ?

 

[Louis]

Can I apply wax without rewashing then? Was cleaned in November.

Yeah just give it a quick wipe over with some sandpaper. Be reet ??

 

[Louis]

40 grit is the fine one yeah?
