That was in some cases not all. As of right now the majority of what I have read about this is that it is accepted that rewaxing helps ensure you didn't miss any spots (which I think is hard to do in the first place).
In my mind when it comes down to science, I really break it down to elementary thinking. To me sealants are more rugged and form stronger bonds with one another which is why you can later them. Again, to me, waxes are weak in the sense of bonding especially when it comes from a paste form, layering is like stirring up a slurry of the stuff. That's what goes on in my mind. 
Hopefully Matt can elaborate better. |
Interesting. I will try and find that thread really quick.

On my car I've used a ton of stuff. Right now there is blackfire wet diamond and CG Pete's 53. I Rewax maybe once every two months. I'm not asking this question so that I can do this myself, I would just like to understand it better so I can make a educated conclusive decision.
