Default What to use on top of Werkstat Prime Acrylic

Hi,
I've ran out of Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger and Polished bliss are out of stock can i use Poorboys EX-P Sealant as an alternative?
I've also ran out of Werkstat Acrylic Glos if I choose Poorboys EX-P Sealant should I still use this or something else.

Please recommend me some alternatives to use on top of the Werkstat Prime Acrylic.

Cheers.

I use prime strong when the paint needs a good cleaning, blackfire wet diamond is great for the darker colours, never tested it on light ones.

Funny enough this is my car with prime strong, blackfire wd and topped off with collinite 915.

I've got full bottles of prime acrillic and prime strong how do you decide which one to use. Cars urban grey and 1 1/2 years old.
I then need some thing to go over top. I've read that blackfire wet diamond as you said is for dark colours so what is the best thing to use as an alternative to the jett trigger?
is it ok to use different manufactures as it says that the prime lays down the first layer of protection will different manus bond to it ok?
cheers

Prime acrilic and prime strong are basicly the same - strong has a bit more cleaning power as to what you can put over these I would of thought anything as its only classed as a polish which puts a small protective layer down but.

When i say dark colours i meant dark shades, yours if i think ive got the right shade should do quite well with the blackfire wd.

You use the prime first as it's more of a cleaner/polish, id say use the prime then the sealant of your choice, like scoobysoon says they're both the same only the strong is a bit stronger in cleaning.

I would personally give the wet diamond a go, for added protection use collinite 915 wax on top.

I was looking for something sealant based from the menzerna range but pb seems to have stopped stocking it so perhaps he can suggest something better.

The Werkstat products will all be back in stock in 1-2 days time, and I would suggest waiting for them, as on your colour they are very hard to beat. The Blackfire option would work just fine with no bonding issues, but Werkstat is still the better option in terms of aesthetics.

PS - the Menzerna sealant (FMJ) has been superceded by the Blackfire Wet Diamond product, hence why we are no longer stocking it.
