Paint Sealant

[Cesaro]

Can someone explain to me the advanatages of paint sealant, and is it a liquid that you wipe on like polish or is it a spray? Ive heard that it replaces polish- I have already polished my car though after a recent full respray so can I not 'seal it' now?

Thanks guys, oh and Ive also heard you shouldnt use this stuff til 60-90days after the respray??

Cheers,

Chris

IIRC you should wait a certai amount of time for the paint to full harden

If you mean diamondbrite type stuff (there's other varieties too), I wouldn't bother.
You'll still end up polishing it every now and then anyway.
Used to apply it at work. It'd cost the customer £300 and you can get the same stuff on ebay for £25 (tops) and apply it yourself if you really want to.

Or you could buy it off me, I used to be a valeter so I've got a **** load

[Cesaro]

so its supplied as a cream/liquid like polish then? Would you really recommend using it??

Cheers

IMHO dont waste your time and money, a regular wax every month will do a better job than the paint sealers ever will. the interior kit doesnt work, and the exterior kit is just a wax with a strong bond on it. audi charge their customers £300ish for a kit that costs them £15 and even the salesmen admit its crap. oh and if you ever need paintwork doing on your car the bodyshop will hate you as it makes paint react.

Don't use anything which will prevent the paint "breathing" for 30-90 days after spraying to avoid risks of trapped solvent blistering. There are special car finishes for this, 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is a good one. Its applied just like a wax, but allows the paint to "breath". Once you're happy the paint is Ok to take a wax just use your favourite one nice and regular.
