People tend to use a sealant on light kind of colours such as white and wax on darker colours like red. Wax's give a more deep warmth look and sealants give a more glass like gloss look to the car

no they don't :fighting2: :fighting2: :signLOL:
you can use a sealant first and then a wax if you want. but most people pick one or the other. i use one or the other when doing cars.
the ease of application very much depends on what product it is, you can't reaaaallly say that "waxes" are easier to apply than "sealants". this day and age so many so called waxes are actually not "waxes" by definition at all so it can be very confusing. just try whatever product it is that you happen to use and go from there really that's the best advice i can give you.
i find some products easy to use while others find them hard.
likewise there are some products others find very easy to use and i just can't get on with them at all.
so it very much depends on yourself and your own particular environment

Could you expand on that? I've read that a few times on DW that the sealants give a more glossy look and wax a warmer look kinda thing. I'm not saying your wrong at all you'll know far more than me on all things detailing :happy2:

Black hole by Poorbouys paste wax would be one I would recommend.

SRP is better than blackhole. it's also cheaper.
believe it or not black hole doesn't work any better than any other glazey-filler type product on a black car! :fighting:

Can't really expand anymore than what I said already
DW is full of morons to be honest - No offense to you or anything but half the people on there are the kind of people to spend 5x the money on a whole range of different waxes because one gives a "warm rich glow" I guarantee if you just polished a car to perfection you could not tell if it was waxed or not.

I apply 1 layer FK1000P sealant then 2-3 layers of FK2685 Pink. So easy to apply.
