Racoon code 4:5. It IS compulsory to add a form of protection on top of a polish such as AutoGlym Super Resin Polish.

Racoon code 4:6. A type of LSP to top the polish can be either a wax or a quick detailing spray, not a sealant.

Racoon code 4:7. A recommended type of quick detailing spray can be Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer.

Seems you have studied the rule book in some depth my friend.

Ah, so sealant before wax then mate?

Yep. Sealants perform better on clean, bare paintwork. Just pick one of the scenarios below, either:

Wash, dry, polish, wax

Wash, dry, sealant

Wash, dry, sealant, wax

I guess you can use it over waxes and polishes as this is from there site or am I reading this wrong?

"To Seal & Protect Synthetic Paint Sealant wil bond to most polishes, glazes and waxes. Very easy to apply and gives you stunning results."

From the Autobrite website:

To Seal & Protect is a intense synthetic liquid paint sealant that protects your paintwork and gives you a tough coat seal with a outstanding gloss and finish. It protects your paint from harmful elements while still providing a durable coating. Make sure the paint is free from containments by a IPA wipedown, apply To Seal & Protect to the panel via a applicator with overlapping stokes into a light haze, leave to cure for approx 5-10 minutes and with a good quality microfibre cloth wipe away the haze to leave a high gloss finish. To Seal & Protect Synthetic Paint Sealant will bond to most polishes, glazes and waxes. Very easy to appy and gives you stunning results.

Now i will admit, I am not a fan of Autobrite, not one bit. The text above reads (in my eyes) to contradict itself. "Make sure the paint is free from containments (think that should be contaminants) by a IPA wipedown." The Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) will ruthlessly removes all traces of polishing residues and oils and leave paint perfectly bare. So far so good. Exactly what I said before.
But then the second to last sentence reads that it will bond to most polishes, glazes and waxes??????????????????????

IMHO, forget about Autobrite and get some Sonax Hybrid NPT on your car. You won't regret it.
