Default Menzerna Sealing Wax APO 60

In the past I've used local off the shelf products by Meguairs, 3M, or Mothers so I wanted to try something different hoping for longer protection. I plan to correct using the PO203S (Power Finish) and finish/protect with the APO 60. I've tried searching the forum for more info on this product, but it seems most people prefer FMJ. I don't have much time to dedicate to detailing the car, so I hope to do this on a quarterly basis. From the description this product sound like a cleaner wax like Meguairs NXT. Will this be safe to use on the finish frequently in between polishes? Can I expect longer protection than a carnuba?

from our sponsor on another site:

http://www.autopia.org/forum/detailer-s-do...ish-po203s.html

and from his website:

http://www.detailersdomain.com/index.asp?P...PROD&ProdID=127

my opinion is that they both contain light polishes- the po203s is a good light polish for light swirl removal... and the apo 60 is a polish with some cleaning ability. apo 60 would not be my choice, but it would probably work. i would prefer a more "pure" synethic or wax. fmj is a good choice and it can be topped by wax (p21s or lusso oro).

i will ask our sponsor, phil to comment on this thread and he just might disagree with me !! but at least he will give you good info and you can get a discount from him!

I would say wanabe is correct.

po203 is a great one step polish

apo60 is a one step polish/wax.

for protection go with Menzerna FMJ or Einszett Glanz.

what color is your car and will you be using a pc.

Car is silver and yes I will be applying the Power Finish w/ a green and white Pad using a PC. I already ordered it from you, Phil, and should have arrived by the time I get home from work. Sorry to beat this question over it's just a bit confusing how it's marketed. I understand it's a cleaner wax w/ light polishes, but you're both saying it's more of a finishing/fine polish than a wax and sealant for protection. Kind of like an All Season tire that is designed to a range of weather conditions, but does not excel in any one category. Can I do an exchange for the FMJ in that case?

yes you can exchange it but you will have to ship it back to us on your dime.

apo is a strange product it will give you about 30 days protection if the car is outside.
