Wax after sealing

Am I safe to top the sealant with wax a few weeks after I’ve applied the sealant?

I’m going to wash, clay bar, and seal my car this weekend with chemical guys jet seal but didn’t spring for any wax.

Most of the videos I’ve seen wax has been added on top of the sealant almost immediately after, so thought I’d ask to be safe. I’m brand new to at home detailing.

I would wax, then seal.

Don't forget to use a good iron/tar remover after washing but before claying. Use Carpro Trix!

Aren't you supposed to strip the paint completely before doing those sealers? I would think waxing first would make the sealer not adhere to the paint.

It is fine. Just make sure to wash it well before applying.

He is referring to your first like that says "I would wax, then seal." You always apply the sealant first if your going to layer.

I am also not a fan of claying a vehicle unless you will be following up with a light polish. Clay is an abrasive and will cause marring to the finish. Even if the marring is very light it will still take away from the gloss and clarity of the finish.

Yes it does however, a machine polish easily removes the light marring.

Claying is essential to achieve the best possible clean and contaminant free finish prior to protecting.

Some "new" cars however may not need claying until later in their life.

Which is why I said I am not a fan of claying a vehicle unless it is being polished. And most new cars actually do require both chemical and mechanical decon for prep.

Im gonna try meguairs mirror glaze 7 then wax with mothers carnuba

Glaze after wax, though Glaze will not last long and IMHO isn't worth it unless you're trying to sell a car or win a show.

Glazes are useful if your not doing a thorough correction on the vehicle as they typically have fillers in them that are filling minor flaws for a better visual appearance. A glaze is basically make up for your cars finish.
