    Sealents on Single stage paints?

    Can I use a WG, UPP, Poorboy`s sealent on a single stage paint or should I contain my enthusiasm and stick with something like:
    #83
    AIO
    #82
    3M IHG
    Carbuna of choice.....
    S100, Pinnalce Cycle Paste, NXT.....

    Any thoughts?
    I know #7 was designed for single stage, however I do not like applying glazes by hand and it was not designed for any machine even PC..It tends to gunk up.

    I`ve used it on single stage with no problem. Not being a Megs fan I`m not usre of the numbers you`ve listed. Anywho what I did was

    Wash and Clay
    Polished with rotary (this cuts the layer of paint)
    Then PB P-w-C
    Sealant
    Wax

    On single stage paint you want to take the top layer of paint off to get the oxdation off.

    Thanks Beemerboy.
    ....I use a PC and the #83 is the DACP (Dual Action Cleaner Polish)....# 82 is the follow up Swirl Free Polish. I will head your advice and use the Poorboy`s....I must now coordinate an appointment date as the owner is constantly on the road.

    I have SS paint, sealants are fine. If any oxidation is still present, sealants and carnaubas will streak.

    Then use a cutting pad on high with the PC and the polish that should take the top layer off. In the old days on singe stage you used light cut compound to cut oxdation and that worked great
