Polymer Sealant VS wax?

[sebastian2hot]

Can you explain abit about this ?

what is elbow grease .. where can I get it.

do I apply on top of scracth X ? or before applyign scratch x ?

whats the benefits ?

one other thing can I apply scract x using the orbital polisher by black & decker ?

or would it just add more harm ?

thanks

Albow grease?? is on ur hand bro, no need to purchase it. once you finish you elbow will feel pain and tired. it is just mean ur stamina or elbow power. That's all.

Before apply scratch must clean the car first, after apply scratch can top up with any types of preferred wax or sealent.

"New fomula" Scratch X (which is more liquid) can be use on machine.

hehehe.....yeah...sebastian explained about elbow grease....its a metaphor :)

just put a layer of ur prefered choice of wax after u've applied scratchx on the surface.

hey guys, i've tried scratchX last week. then immediately after that, i applied a lyer of soft99 wax. i din wait too long for scratchX to dry. coz it was very hard to remove if scratchx has gone completely dry.

i applied some on a spot, then rub for a few minutes. wait for it to dry a bit, then remove. then soft99 wax.

after a week. the fine scratches are still not very much visible.

was thinking abt buying meguair's 3 step system. step 2 & 3 cost $45 each. dunno worth it or not. but one things for sure, applying 3 layers on the same spot same day beats going to the gym

instead of trying deep crystal 3 steps system, you can also try color X which is combine of cleaner, polish and wax. It is an one step product.

Can save some times and elbow grease. hehe..

anyone actually tried kit wax? i tried it on another car b4 (silver) it was a paste wax for paint work that is 2+ years.

put it on, and i remember that the water beading lasts around 6 months. but i dunno how it performs on eliminating the scratches since the car i worked on was silver

 

[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?

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.

 

[mengz]

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.
