Over the weekend just did a simple wash, clay, polish and apply sealant for a friend's New Fiesta S.

Fiesta came like this (One week Old)

After wash can see no beading at all

No problem. Yup, my friend chose a nice color too, but deep color difficult to maintain, like after rain will be like first pic, and also easier to see swirls too, but when shinny looks fantastic....:love:

Sure can have chance another time, or you can bring your ride, we can DIT.....:biggrin:
 
I just washed, clayed and put sealant to my car last month. I wash every week so it should be able to withstand for 1-2 more months. Then maybe we can DIT :biggrin:

You don't use topper like some aquawax after wash?
My wife's Chery SUV, mostly in porch and basement parking have not been polished almost coming 2 years, still slick and shinny. Weekly wash and top with QD/sealant mixture....:biggrin:

Nope..I only wash and then only put sealant on headlamp and sometimes on car body as well but not the whole car haha. Hmm...mayb this weekend will have a thorough wash and then spray wipe on wipe off sealant. Thanks for the advice. :adore:

Applying sealant is time consuming. Got to apply, wait for haze, then buff off.
This normally done in 3 monthly, half yearly and so on, depends on the individual but if use topper like aquawax, then can prolong applying sealant. But of course if you have all the time in the world, apply sealant is better....

Yah the sealant I got is spray on, wait for haze, and then wipe of without much elbow grease. Gonna get a better one which is easier =) any recommendation ?

Sound more like a topper. Actually no replacement for actual application and buffing off type sealant which is more lasting and slick....
 
Nice... I also enjoy cleaning my fiesta. On Permanon Platinum and quite satisfied with the result.

Yeah, the blue color finish is nice when shiny, especially those nice shoulder lines. But once there's alot of dirt and dust it can looked quite horrible. :biggrin:

Just a cheap consumer product I bought from Tesco...silicon sealant by the brand Formalhero. RM20 per bottle of 500ml.

How is the finish? water beading etc...?
I tried before those wax as you dry products, suppose to cut down time, dry and waxing, so this product when car is wet can spray and wipe, but the finish like just wipe dry only.....:banghead:
