Anyone else done wax after Wolfgang sealer?

Anyone else switched from Wolfgang to something like Klasse? Thought about trying that next year.

I use Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant. Layering sealer coats is kinda a PITA, and never works out well. Sealant can't really bond to itself very well, so you usually end up with wasted effort.

I always top my sealant with wax. It adds the best of both worlds, protection and depth.

Apply the sealant, let it dry for a hour. Remove it and let it cure for 24 hours then you can go at it with wax.

Wolfgang is butter compared to Klasse. Klasse is a PITA to remove if you apply too much, which you probably already know of. Wolfgang comes off so easy. You can take your finger and wipe it off. Do it.

I use Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant, topped with Dodo Juice Hard Candy then Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub.

It's a hobby, it's money well spent. I bet you've done the same with similar items somewhere.

Another satisfied Zaino customer here. I've tried countless products, but I love the durability of Zaino. I don't show my cars, so the ultimate "depth", etc., is not important to me.

As far as professional detailers vs. home application, I've taken a hybrid approach. I used to do all my own detailing because I didn't have a detailer I trusted. Now I finally have found a trusted detailer. Since my time is limited, I have the detailer perform a full detail on my cars yearly (with products I specify) and then I throw a few coats of Zaino on every 3 months and condition the leather every 4 months. Works well for me.
