Nice i like Meguiars and i want to use synthetic so its called sealant 2.0 then?

 

Correct but I believe you have to get this from a supplier so for an average wax I would use Meguiars Tech Wax it works good too synthetic wax gives it a shinier look and it will feel smoother also claying your car once a month or two is not a bad idea..

 

wash mine so much i dont even bother with wax

 

So auto zone wont sell it? And its just a wax right, i would use it as a wax right?

But dont water break down the wax and washes it away?

 

yes, there is. you should wait 2-3 months before waxing. 2-3 months after build date, not after you bought it.

 

no its not. sealant is not the same thing as a wax.

 

Autozone does not sell the sealant but they do sell other synthectic meguiars and no water does not wash wax away degreaser does or acid but washing your car multiple times will end up taking away the wax finish.

The stuff we use is a sealant but its a wax base it lasts alot longer than average wax would. To the OP sealant is basically like Auto armor Paint Protection minus the warranty

 

that makes no sense if you are a true "detailer."

 

I thought there was a period. But i know the car was at the dealer atleats 3 months before i got it!

 

it isnt a sealant and a wax. thats two different things. now, i will agree when you are using high quality stuff (poorboys, nattys, etc.) the general idea behind the finishing wax and sealant is the same. you are finishing off the prepped paint. wax for more shine and pop, sealant for protection

however, the typical person's wax (**** from o'reillys) is designed to hide imperfections as well, and will not last near as long as the previously mentioned products

 

<------------- Ok this guy is confused now!

 

then do that ****!

 

I am a true detailer see pic in my vb garage its always that clean. You cannot overwax a car no matter what anyone tells you. Unless you have 20+ years experience then you can fight with me but i dont feel like it. I wish my car was as clean as the vette behind me lol

Agreed also clay that **** because its got 3 months of lot dust on it.

 

So can we seal it then wax it or what should i do hahah i feel out of place

Clay baring i got that so after that should

a)sealeant
b)wax synthetic

 

ok do this for me then. next time you wash your car, go outside, look directly down at the hood in direct sunlight. take a pic. then we can talk. in the mean time, here ya go.



thats a 2005 with 70k on the clock.

 

No sealant is like a once a year type thing otherwise wax it with any type of wax youd prefer

 

you dont need a synthetic wax. seal it and use whatever wax you have read reviews and seen pics of that you think suits what you are looking for.

www.autopia.org is a great place to start

 

I like meguries and i want to use synthetic, now i used meguries carabuna wax on the truck today and it was glass after words

 

most sealants are 3-5 months, not a year

 

Yes and mine is an 07 with 10000 on it so it looks brand new Im good at detailing and enjoy doing it everytime I do my car I spend 3 hours on it and thats just on exterior and then I try cleaning with buddies and they take like 30 min and think that its good enough you have to have patience to do this job

Sealant is 1 year thank you sealants are different. I like how your trying to argue and Im not but you think you know everything. Dont get cocky theres always somebody with more experience.

Then use that wax on your car do you keep your car pretty clean?

 

I am checking that out. Now what do you use for sealant and wax and what kind of wash?

Yeah the car is brand new only has 800 miles on it hahah

 

All of the above are personal preference to each its own.

Oh damn then it shouldnt need much lol just make sure you do not use aggressive clay most aggressive clay will require a buff. If you want your car to look like Stu's and mine in a couple years keep it clean what color is your car? and stu I know your a great detailer theres only a couple of us that can handle doing detailing work. What type of dressing do you use on your tires?

 

So sealant is sealant? ok.

"Sealant" is not one year. it will vary by product, which is why i said MOST are 3-5 months. hell go and see what is recommended periods by the manufacturers. do you have access to one that claims a year, hell if i know. which is why i said MOST.

i would still like to see a direct sunlight hood shot. or if you actually do corrections you have access to high powered halogens, use one of those too.

 

SOrry dont have any of those pics the reason I ask about what kind of shine you use on tires is because the **** we use at my job is very slingy no matter how many times you wipe. Sorry OP we will not thread jack anymore if stu has any more problems please keep it to pms.

 

I didnt see your post about shine, sorry. I am actually using some free eagle one **** i got. it doesnt last that long, but i HATE really shiny tires. i prefer just the semigloss black.

pick up some turbowax gel. ive used it a couple times and im pretty sure i was happy with the results.
