No, i didnt , when you say clearcoat, do you mean the same kind of clear coat that you would use on paint? Or is there any other specific kind that im not aware of?

Clear coat is a protection layer, but it still has to be waxed (think about it) so in effect you gotta wax either way....... why is the clear coat in the middle?

Sorry if im jacking this thread, but that doesnt really make sense to me. If you clearcoat the wax, the wax will wear off after about 6 months, so that means it would take the clearcoat with it.
