Paint Sealant

[Stylesa]

Anyone use them? Collies 476 or similar?

What would be the best thing to use for sealing the paintwork on a new car?

I use Jeffs/Werkstat Acrylic Jett - I can honestly say its brilliant and is easy to apply.

NXT Tech Wax 2.0 will do the job :xcheers:

I use the 476 but the NXT is a good all in one. The 476 is only for finishing off (lsp).

sealent and wax is the same thing.

NXT is perfect for the job. paint sealer is not som ultra special coating

I have the S2000 booked in on Friday for the rear bumper to get resprayed (as other people can't park!).

Once I get the car back what should I do to protect the paint??

I know basically nothing about "detailing" and only use Autoglym products (as that's what people buy me)

Please feel free to treat me as a noob on this subject...even a basic step by step would be great

Cheers guys. So whats the difference between carnuaba wax and NXT for sealing?

 

[C&S Evo7]

carnuba wax is a natural product, NXT is synthetic.


natural products have limits of use, wheras synthetic products are developed from natural to do a particular job.

personal choice really but for me fullysynthetic should outlast and outperform most carnuba waxes., its easy to apply and works well so with spare time at a premium is my choice

I use Chemical Guys - Mirror Gloss / Wet look finish as my paint sealant.

It's easy to apply and easy to buff off and use before Dodo Juice wax as a final coat

Obviously, It's all personal however.....

I last detailed the car back mid August and I think it's fair to say that we had a harsh winter.

Since then, I haven't touched the car at all and it's now 1st May, that's almost 81/2 months (the grime just simply built up) BUT after a quick wash and light clay, the paintwork is immaculate.
Just goes to show that good products, used properly, do a fantastic job - I've fallen in love again :wink:

Cheers

After polishing, 2 coats of Chemical Guys Jet seal (especially on white cars) followed by 2 coats of R222 wax!

PM me address and i can send you out a copy of our Detailing Guide which is step by step guide on how to get the best out of products.

I would put any wax on your rear buumper for 60-90 days as it needs to fully cure (it will be hard to touch) but some solvents are still escaping....wax will seal the surface and trap them in.
