Polymer Sealant VS wax?

[unconsistent_fast]

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.

try before. Normal wax only. Doesn't really last long...

Latest product i tried now is Meguair M21 Synthetuc Sealant. Result is awesome !!

* Produces a noticeably deeper, darker, more reflective paint finish

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.

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

my black metalic colour aledi down....i juz sprayed the black metalic 1.5 year oni....now the colour starting down~!!!
wat should i use?
can recommend me anywhere to buy?

or i should spent more to let ppl polish it?

 

[sebastian2hot]

use clay, polish & wax.

can buy Meguiars quick clay, colorX, nxt wax at ACE Hardware in Midvalley/ikano, eneos 1 utama/metroprima, there is variety of choises. You can also go ioi mall for PG clay and sealant since you are in puchong. There is promotions at foodcourt there if i'm not mistaken.

If the color really very down(cannot remove by hand polish), you should go for professional detailer to restore it because it require machine to restore the gloss.

[sebastian2hot]

If car paint not smooth you should try clay, is very nice and you can feel the different. It can remove road tar, and dirt which stick on ur paint surface.

Start with car wash, leave it wet and clay the whole car.

After clay wash ur car again.

After second wash you dry your car and start with polish.

lastly you finish up with wax.
