sealant or equivalent

You could be really lazy and use CarPro Hydr02. Wash, rinse, leave car wet, apply dilutted hydro2 to panel, rinse off. Sealed and done... Did my wheels last weekend, too easy and will last at least 3 months.

I am getting ready to try Reload this weekend on my Opti coated car as well as on a G35 I am detailing next week, have heard from many people (some on here, 28ONE) that it is great stuff. BFWD is a good go to but I haven't used them in a long time, I think they changed their formula a few years back and heard mixed things so I never gave them another shot.

I would steer away from Jetseal109 but that's just my opinion, over priced and outdated. The durability was never there when I tried it and for that price, there are way better sealants available.

Damn no go on the jetseal....I was all ready to give that a go. Anyone have good reports on it or no?

You're better off with BFWD than Jetseal...

Watch this. This may help your decision.

Ok guys great. Any thoughts on quick detail spray. I use fk425 but it streaks real bad on a black car even with a 50/50 cut.

I use Auto Finesse Finale for QD right how.

I use Chemical Guys Blacklight gaze, then Jetseal, and V07 for a quick detailer. Works wonders on all the cars I have done

Thats just my .02. I personally just think it is over hyped (a lot of CG stuff is). If you still decide you might want to try JS, let me know. I have a slightly used bottle I could sell you.

Using BL then JS is kind of a waste isnt it? The JS will not actually be contacting the surface since you have BL down 1st. So, the JS would be layered on top of BL, cutting its durability down drastically.....maybe I am wrong though?
I have done the BL and V07, good little combo.

Just remember to use one MF to spread Reload then a different MF to buff off. One spray of Reload per 2x2 section

Thanks, plan on applying the reload tomorrow. What kind of durabilty are you personally getting out of it?

2 months so far - hard to tell because of UK

Nope your right. Applying BL under JS will kill the durability. It's like applying a wax under a sealant.

Hey guys...took the car down to paint and applied the BFWD as usual. Looks great. Out of curiosity is it a waste to put another coat of the sealant on top?

 

[HitandRunDriver]

I don't think it is. If you're using light coats, using one more to ensure even coverage is a good idea.

I agree, one good solid coat of BFWD does wonders! Remember to let ir cure for 8 hours before applying anything else...not sure if you have it but Blackfire WD Polymer Spray is a great addition to enhance protection...

 

[Mystickeith50]

Great thanks. I'm bored so I will apply another. Thanks again for the advice.

Reload. That is all.
