Chemical Guys - Wet Mirror Finish

[jaydubveedub]

Is it OK to use CG Wet Mirror Finish in between JetSeal 109 and Pete's 50/50 Wax?

Not sure if I will see a benefit, or if it will remove the Jetseal as I apply it.

I can't really answer the question as I'm certainly not an expert on this  (sure someone will be along soon) but when I looked into the CG Wet Mirror the impression I got is it was a seal/glaze (so no need for JetSeal) - I've now got it but not had chance to apply but when I do this is what I'll be doing:

Wash
Clay
Wash
Dry
AG SRP (or similar)
CG Wet Mirror
Petes 53

I was under the impression that jetseal is predominantly a sealant i.e. protection whereas the Wet Mirror is just there to enhance the appearance.

Anyone?

As I said no expert but on the CG site:

A Gloss magnifier that reflects like a mirror. An ultra slick non-stick high-shine all-weather gloss magnifier formulated to allow paint to breathe. A one-step surface preparatory product guaranteed to enhance the shine of any surface. Mirror Wet truly delivers a mirror wet finish that not only shines but also protects at a nano-tech scale by bonding molecularly to your paint, delivering a smooth durable  finish that reflects light like a mirror  while offering superior surface protection

Listed with Jetseal too - suspect you will get more protection (maybe longer lasting but thats down to the next layers) with JetSeal as that seems to be it's number 1 purpose but looks

Use the Glaze before any sealant or wax. The sealant and wax will then protect all the work you have done with the glaze.

i use megs no.7 show glaze which is a very similar product from what i have read... use it post polish pre-sealant and/or wax

Thanks for the advice.

Did a big detail on my wife's car this weekend, process as follows:

Wash (AG Bodywork Shampoo with a dash of Megs Shampoo Plus)
Clay (Sonus green with Dodo juice born slippy)
Wash (as above)
AG SRP
CG Wet Mirror Finish
CG Jetseal 109 x 2 coats
50/50 wax
Megs endurance tyre gel for the tyres - this is excellent!
Megs Final Touch spray detailer to finish

Looked awesome when done.

@jaydubveedub, where did you purchase all those products?

[jaydubveedub]

@Guy - No pics unfortunately, was absolutely wasted after I had finished and couldn't be ar5ed!. Will be repeating the process on my Golf soon so I will post pics of that. Really impressed with the Wet mirror finish, it's pretty easy to apply/remove if it's not too sunny. The 50/50 wax is much easier to apply/remove than the AG HD Wax but the finish seems about the same. Would have done 2 coats but got rained on!. Will probably put a second coat on it next wash.

@imamosher - products purchased from cleanyourcar.co.uk apart from the AG stuff which came from either Halfrauds or ebay.
