Does it ring??? Maybe it just needs to be cleaned out? you can go to the docs and they basically squirt a saline mix in your ear holes

 

I think it could be a tone deafness, gonna go to a doc at check it out, i'll do it sooner rather than later. I'm king for leaving things until it's nearly too late

From what i've read from Brettl-0 Not particularly. Jet seal is what you use before wax. Wax gives you depth which isn't particularly nescessary on a white car.

 

He has actually recommened the V7 to me a while back in lieu of jet seal which he said would be a little bit of a waste on my particular colour.

 

 

Yea that's the problem with our colours. Ill give it a go once i get some cash. Need tyres more atm

Most of us are the same when it comes to docs

Ash, may as well amputate one leg and one arm too

 

I have a large chunk cut out from one of my arms so I may as well do the rest

Don't do it when you have a Melanoma! Changed me very quickly.

This, i haven't been in so long.

Does Jetseal replace waxing?

Yes kind of. Sealants are a synthetic designed to do what traditional waxes do, but with better durability.

So would the process be wash,clay,polish,jetseal and a wax ? or would the wax conflict with the sealant?

Hmmm youve gotten a bit confused there Adam. Jetseal is awesome on silver. My old stagea was silver and i layered up about 4 coats of Jetseal and it looked unreal.
I suggested V7 because of its stupidly quick and easy application. This was when you hated cleaning your car.
You COULD apply a wax over sealant to get the added depth that sealants usually dont provide. But you wont get that on white or silver/gold anyway, so its not neccesary. I only ever put wax over jetseal if the customer asked for it, or it was being entered in a car show or other events. Only a real keen eye can pick the difference in most cases.

Yep youve nailed the process. Waxing is optional.
Its not an either/or type situation. Just you wouldnt put a sealant over the top of a wax when layering.
Rob, with a white car id go
Wash
Clay
Polish
Sealant x2

Which looks like this

[Adam]

words correcting my incorrectness

 

NOTED.

 

At least when I ask you for advice its not falling on deaf ears Just mis interpreted!

[Brett]

And i do Appreciate that Adam. Its forking confusing to be honest. I spent the better part of 10 years researching and testing all these products and processes, which is how i got my head around it.


Bloke who owns that Pajero got it back today. He was forking stoked. Couldnt believe it was the same car. He paid $5k for it!!!

[Adam]

I might chuck a polish in my cart

 

Gonna grab Glossworks, A smell of some sort CANT DECIDE, microfibres, and a polish

 

There was something else but I forget

Also, I hope you don't mind the constant questions. You seem to love it

[Hypnotic]

Hmmmm might give this a go

[Brett]

Get Stripper scent, and if you want to hold off till the weekend, ive got their V series polishes to try plus their clay mitt thingy.

[Hypnotic]

What the fork, just saw a news report stating some service stations are starting to run out of fuel, however they neglected to state why, probably has something to do with the US.

[Brett]

I dont mind the questions mate. Answering through typing is the hardest part. Theres a lot of info to convey, its much easier in person.

Is that clay mit thingy on their website? I was looking last night but wasn't too sure if I was looking at the right things

Thanks, Sounds like a plan. If i can get mine to that level of shine ill be happy. it has some battle scars so I'm not expecting anything drastic in the paint department.

[Brett]

Also Adam, are you planning on polishing by hand or machine? Ive never used any of their polishes by hand. Ive always machine polished. But i could do a panel by hand on the Focus to test it. The front quarter plus the drivers door, im yet to touch with the buff, so it would be a good test.
