Should I wax?

Just power locked my tornado red golf.
Would I get any more benefit if I wax it?

stealthwolf:
Some people are happy with powerlock as the LSP. Others apply a wax over their sealant. Entirely up to you. Depends on the wax and how well it sits on the sealant too.

Try it on half the bonnet and then see whether you feel it adds anything. If not, strip back and reapply the sealant.

i have waxed mine today...first time i have used a wax.  polised it with autoglym super resin polish > poorboys white diamond glaze > autoglym extra gloss protection > collinite 476s.  i think putting the wax over a sealant will only benefit the car...i am going on things i have read, only time will tell.  i could see a difference, the paint work seemed deeper and generally shinier.  however, after 4 1/2 hours doing all that my Mrs comes out and says it looks no different to when i started!  :fighting:

anyway, here's a before and after...difficult to see in pics i guess but i am happy with it.  in a nutshell, i can see the wax will protect the paint and make it look better for longer and i shall definately do it again.
