Torch Red...wax or sealant?

[5.0_GT_kid]

I'm going to be helping my buddy detail his Torch Red GT, and this will be my first time doing a TR car. What do you think would work better, a carnuba wax or a sealant? I have several products in both categories that we could try.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Bump?

I would say a regular wax. I still prefer the wax look. Sealants only do it for me on a car with some metallic to it.

Your approach should be determined partly by paint condition and if you're going to be doing it by hand or not.

All things being equal, Mothers FX SynWax is great on red, and it's a tad easier to use than others on the market, as well as Carnauba Cleaner Wax (which is actually pretty easy to use).

Whatever you use, be sure you clay and detail the trim first.

I would use a glaze and carnauba wax on red. They will add a lot of wetness and depth to your paint. ClearKote Red Moose glaze and ClearKote Carnauba Wax are a great combo for your color car.

Do not use sealant if the car has fresh paint on it, other than from the factory. They are safe on old paint, or new factory paint.

I found Megs #2 fine cut cleaner, #82 swirl free polish, and # 7 show car glaze all three realy cheap you guys think that would be worth buying a good combo. then i would use #105. What pads for my dual action polisher would i use for those products?

Use the clay bar first, but before that get some polish from
