The Official Washed and Waxed Thread!

[ScottyB]

consider me another believer now in paint sealant. i guess i should say, i never doubted it, but i just didn't realize how much this stuff kicks ass.

i've used P21S 12700W Carnauba Wax forever as my last-step product but my stock ran out. gave this stuff a shot since its considered very easy to apply and pretty affordable as sealants go, especially on sale. unreal results with just hand application with a dimpled foam pad. did our black xterra, immediately took it to the mountains the next day and coated it in thick grey dust from gravel road driving and bugs from coming back at night, and after a quick hose and wash the finish felt like slick glass again. the water beading is way beyond what i could ever get with wax. this SUV is outside every day and gets used hard as an actual utility vehicle, so if this stuff lasts 6 months i'll be thrilled.







the paint on this thing is 13-year old garbage. it spent much of its early life outside 24/7 and is covered with fossilized sap, scratches, bug gut acid marks, and rock damage. but from 10 feet, man, it looks almost new, and that's all i could ask from an hour of my time and no orbital buffer.

its worth mentioning that i probably did the entire car with maybe a 2 tablespoons of liquid. this bottle will probably last me 5 years or more if i only do both cars twice a year at most.
