Polymer Sealant VS wax?

[mengz]

the deep crystal 3 step system is good. but since you have the scratchX i don't think u need the paint cleaner. but i use the paint cleaner though :P to remove beneath surface defects.

as for the DC step 2 pure polish......personally i prefer Meguiar's #7 show car glaze better. as for step 3 wax, i prefer #20 polymer sealant or NXT tech wax.

but none the less...the DC set is still good. maybe u can give it a try.

hehehe im glad you enjoyed using some elbow grease.....i find it a great work out :) kill 2 birds with one stone. maintain my car and get to work out my arms as well :P

tried pg polymer sealent finally...hahah lazy

some how the bonnet now bcomes rough, y is this, other area seems fine, paint defect from factory?

 

[Vagabond]

Has anybody tried Soft 99 BLACK wax? is it any good for black coloured cars?

hey the PG polymer sealant will go well after using the PG Clay..
the PG clay smoothen up the surface first before u apply the sealant.

I am not too sure whether i doing it correctly or not.
After washing the car, dry the car with those yellow cloth that hardens after left for a while.

Then a small bucket with clay do by section, start with bonet. Then with the area a little wet apply sealant, leave it for a while then wipe it dry. Quite satisfied with it.

If there is other bettew way please advice.

ur doing it correctly buddy. the reason why u notice that after claying ur surface is very smooth because the clay removes any above paint surface defects like road tar, dead bugs, etc.

Vagabond, as i've mentioned...if the wax is good it'll look good on any paint colour because ur actually waxing ur clear coat...not ur base coat. so don't be tricked by those marketting gimmicks saying it works best on a specific colour....unless....ur car paint does not have clear coat, which is usually the case for older cars, as they use hard enamel paint.

I'm looking for a wax with the 3 criteria's below:

1) To be applied only once a month.... or longer.
2) Very shiny, compliments black cars.
3) Can withstand multiple washes without having to rewax.

Any suggestions?

Sealants is better than wax, I have tried both and found sealants can last me longer, n more shiny then wax. Products that I tried r Turtle Wax Platinium and PG Sealants.

Only if u want to make a frying pan out of you car :p

For auto paint, they use the polarized system. Its the alternatif way to coat teflon on painted surface.

detomaso,

where did u buy ur 3M car wash from?? i'm using it as well...and i love it. no suds....and doesnt strip the wax off ur paint.

my current favourite wax right now is the Meguiar's M20 polymer sealant follow by the Meguiar's NXT Tech wax. and i always layer 3M perfect-it carnauba wax on top of the synthetic wax for tat extra gloss.

 

[detomaso_runna]

that one i buy it from my taiwanese dealer. kinda expensive tho. but since my fren who own a paint shop recommended me to use 3m so i try la. but that one only for customer who can affort expensive polishing service. for budget user i just use taiwan brand. HELLO!! rm80 for polish 3layer is quite cheap ok!! hehe
