yep... them days is long gone!

reet... jetseal 109 is a great product

i'd clay the car if you haven't already... doesn't take long and is well worth it... but i think you do this anyway? then as you said first of... wash, polish, then 2 coats of sealant which you need to allow to bond with the paintwork for a bit before removal, follow this up with a decent high quality wax which can be applied immediately, preferably a couple of coats... although if you own a corsa VXR nuremburg then 53 coats is a bit excessive  :laugh:

what guy has said is pretty much bang on, clay your car or get it proffesionaly mopped, polish it, seal it, i personally leave it 15/30 mins between coats of sealant and the same with wax, jet 109 is the mutts nuts, invest in some collinite 845 insulator wax or 476 hard wax for a mega shine and amazing durability, dodo juice wax's are good but not as durable as the collinite wax's.

AG SRP won't offer any protection though... the 109 and a decent hard wax will protect really well for winter!

as Rob said.. them days is long gawn!  :smiley:

Yeah it was....in the 90's, times have changed and things have moved on...theirs even a better polish that auto glym do than SRP, so even they know its not what it was, id still suggest you use a sealent or wax over your SRP (which lasts at max a month on its own before it needs re applying)
