mctwistuk Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Ok so I am running low on my autobrite project 32 sealant and wondered what everyone else uses to top up protection? Quote
ilogikal1 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Top up or lay down protection? A decent base largely negates the need to top up. That said if you do like to top up regularly it'll depend on what the base is as to what will work best. Also, preference on spray, paste or liquid sealant? Budget? What's yiur priority when it comes to LSP? What's your ultimate aim, looks or durability? I've git a thread on here with a lot of head to head comparisons between a number of sealants, many of which can be used as a top up product too, so check that out if you've got some spare time.

ilogikal1 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Oh, and I'll have you using some proper products in no time to replace all those AutoBrite travesties that you've been using Quote
mctwistuk Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Top up protection. I use quick detailers but also like something with a bit more protection. I will have a gander at your post and see what's what. Quote
davey_83 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I'm liking Soft99 waxes at the sec, there's a YouTube video if one being tested and it showing very good Quote

ilogikal1 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 In that case, diluted spray sealants like GTechniq C2v3, Gyeon Cure, CarPro Reload or even the sealant marketed ad a detailer in Sonax BSD will all be infinitely better than Project 32. GTechniq now even sell C2v3 pre-diluted as a QD (in case you like paying for water...). That said, personally I find it hard to look past Gyeon Wetcoat or CarPro HydrO2 for touchless top ups - why spend the time and effort applying then buffing a product when you can literally spray on, rinse off and go?! Or better still Gyeon Bathe+, which adds protection whilst you're washing. These both have the advantage that they're not fussy about what they bond too (unlike the aforementioned spray sealants), they'll last a damn sight longer than a QD and they both add noticeable gloss with absolute minimal effort and risk of marring. 1 Quote
mctwistuk Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 Can you point me in the direction of the post where you have compared products please? Quote
ilogikal1 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 All in here. Largely over multiple posts but it starts with Reload/C2v3/BSD but you can use the search function to search that thread for the other bits (and many, many more...). Quote
mctwistuk Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 What's your thoughts on sonax products? Quote
ilogikal1 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Good products but for the most part I don't really get along with the LSP's, purely for the usage though as I find they tend to be a bit too grabby for my liking when buffing. Quote
Brimstoneboy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I'm using gtechniq c2v3 and to make it more shiny madcow ultraviolet over after ilogikal1's recommendations really liking the results 👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Stutopia Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 BSD applied after final rinse, but before towelling dry, cuts down aforementioned grabbiness and is only a very minor adjustment to your wash. It's not even a seperate stage. As per ilogikal1 (as usual!) WetCoat is an absolute doddle (if you have a pressure washer). Quote
Richf Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I did my 370z with Carpro Reflect and then reload the latter is a pain in the A to use but once you get the hang of it it does leave a really good finish. Quote

I find it a lot more user friendly if you dilute it 1:1 with deionised water. It's still not my favourite thing to use but it does it make it easier to get a good finish (and makes it more economical too). It's worth mixing a bit up and trying it yourself to see how you get along with it. Quote

ilogikal1 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I'm probably closer to being Koothrappali, just without the exotic accent, rich parents or aptitude for science... so Stuart really. Quote
Stutopia Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Hey, I'm Stuart! Anyway, back on topic you two nerds. Quote
