The sealant can give a little of a plastic look as was said. If you really want to see your paint glow Use the s100 after doing the sealant. One thing that should be mentioned, don't apply the sealant on top of the s100. Because of the oils in a carnauba based wax it won't allow the sealant to bond to the paint the way it should. What I would do is wash the car using a little dawn dish soap. The alkali content will take all the waxes off so you can start with a clean slate. Once that's done (if you're not polishing) apply the sealant. I don't know what the cure time is or Megs #21 but figure maybe 8-12 hours. So the next day put a coat of the S100. The S100 will add the warmth and depth that can sometimes be lacking in some sealants. Your car will be screaming.

I've been using the Klasse AIO/Sealant w/layered coats of P21S. I've found this to work great for my Ivory Pearl. Since my color really doesn't give that super deep mirror look of black, I think it is probably as close to mirror as you can get.....

a couple of pics after a detail with the above combination....
PS if you plan on using synthetic/carnauba combo, let the synthetic coat cure for about 24 hrs. Then apply your top coat of wax. Wait another 12 hrs, and then relayer another coat of wax if you like.

Can I use a sealant on clearbra which I have on my car?

Just a squirt. A little goes a long way. If you have a bunch of sudz kicking, you're good. As for your clear bra question, everything I have read says treat it just like paint.

ok perfect! thanks for all the help! i can't believe how addicted i am to detailing now. I sh*T you not last night I had a dream that after i detailed my car, someone came to my house and drove my car out onto a dusty gravel road behind a big truck, which was spitting rocks up onto my car. I woke up in like a cold sweat!

Talk about obsessive! lol.
