First time sealing

homebrew · May 4, 2015

I love my black truck, but it's a pain in the **** to keep clean here in WA. I wash it weekly, it's been clay bared probably 10 times in the last 7 months due to paint issues. I've bought at least 5 different types of wax hoping for that wet look but it seemed unattainable. Kept reading about sealing the paint. Seemed like a lot of work but decide to give it a try. This is the result of claying/polishing/sealing/wax. Mostly performed by hand, I did use a meguires da attachment on my drill for the polish.

Looks like you got it figured out--looks really good. Putting a coat of wax over the sealant will give you longer protection and it will make the paint "pop" a little more and give it some more depth. The sealant will also increase the time that your paint is protected. Sealant=about 6 months, wax= about a month.

Looks good! So what products (brands) did you use?

Mothers clay bar/ meguires pre wax polish/ mothers glaze/ and meguires nxt wax. I'm going to try a carnauba wax on the other side see if it makes any difference.

That's a nice shine for sure. What brand fender flares are those? They match well with your paint.
