    Well Fi if you have any nice boutique waxes that you dont want any more and you fancy selling then I could be interested.

    Sealant is a man made protectant and wax is a natural protectant.

    People say that sealants can last longer and they are probably right but I would say that the waxes generally look better.

    I prefer the type of sheeting and beading that my waxes give versus that from the sealants I have.

    Thanks Ian. "sealant" sounds like it would be a more difficult to remove or add another coat, but I'm only guessing. I'll stick to wax.......now where did i put these old candles I was keeping?

    Sealant in my view is extremely easy and quick to put on, you just wipe it on leave it to cure a bit then go over it with a clean MF cloth, but yeah a we bit of effort to take off but not to bad if you have a last tough product like Meg's Last touch! Mist any difficult part and it brings it up........
    I have the Sealant for winter and wax for summer. I just think in winter when I’m not going to wash it every week I put it on and happy for four or five months with the wax they usually say five to six weeks before it breaks down.

    In summer I do think wax looks better.

    Not that I’ll be waxing this week with the snow back with vengeance!

    With the blackfire sealant i have the residue is the easiest buff off from all the polish/wax/sealants ive used. All depend on the products nature and also how long you leave it to cure.
    Ive used waxs that are a total nightmare to buff off.
