Title: Jetseal
Post by: rskardon on 24 April 2009, 11:31

Got my Jetseal through today, i just wnted to check its definitely fine on the paintwork? I know a lot of people use it on the wheels but not so sure on the body, looking forward to trying it.

jetseal is great stuff, very easy to use. I would polish the car first, then two coats of jet seal, wait twenty mins between coats and then you can wax on top of it. Dont wax then seal mind  :wink:

I use it on the chrome front, the wheels, lights, windows and exhaust and any painted surface (including under the bonnet)

I was thinking Meguiars NXT Wax, then a coat of Jetseal, is that not good practice?

Cheers for the feedback from everyone so far,

That would be bad practice  :angry:   .. it should be done like Rob said  :nerd:

Jetseal first,  and at least two coats !!  :rolleyes:

For best results polish the car first with a polish with a bit of "cut", like Autoglym Super Resin Polish (i.e not a wax)

Sorry to bring this back up, but is Jetseal OK to use just as a quick protective layer or will it be essential to apply a layer of wax too? I am giving the car a wash tonight before heading for a 500 mile round trip tomorrow so was hoping to put a layer down to protect.

By the way i took a good look at the detailing section, great advice in there will post in there in the future with such questions,

Cheers,

R

you dont have to wax over it but you can. If you just give the car two coats of sealer that will be enough to get a good finish but you should polish first to get the best result's.  :smiley:
