DIY Car Wash??

[vainbt]

Nanolex Premium Paint Kit will last up to 12 months on your car, if not longer. Combine that with the Nanolex Reactivating Shampoo as a top up you could realistically extend the life substantially more than 12 months.

If you chose to layer your wax on top of this product you are able to do so. However they're are not extra benefits except adding a lot more depth as a Synthetic tends to offer you a Glassy, Wet/Glossy Look.

A natural carnauba wax will give you a lot more depth and intensity with your paint, however very short lived.

You also got to take into mind, lighter coloured cars and even some solid tend to look a lot nicer with a wet sharp glassy look vs a in depth look from a wax. (Well i think so anyhow).

Thanks .. 12 months?

Hmm.. so should do everything again or my procedure was ok?

You should do it again it again following the advice that fuzion gave you. fuzion has "carcareproducts" level knowledge in detailing and therefore CCP's post was just complimenting fuzion's and responding to DDTW.

Corey R gets kick backs from us as you can tell.. (LOL!)

Thanks mate.

As mentioned by fuzion, basically spot on.

If you are a still a little lost, just let us know

I am getting set to order some detailing products and thinking of going down the nanolex route.

Given that my Talledega's are painted black does that make the nanolex paint sealant I intend to use on my bodywork suitable for my rims? Or does the rim sealant work on both non-painted and painted and have some 'extra' brake dust defeating technology?

Advice appreciated.

Edit: From http://www.nanolex.de/en/application

Nanolex Sealants for painted (lacquered) surfaces are also perfect to be used on alloy rims. Depending on the material (chrome, lacquer, steel) the durability can vary.

ausbob,

more than fine for your wheels.

It will not give you 12 months on the wheels however due to the heat dispersal from your brakes to the wheels. Saying this though you will get at least 6 months from it though which is a much better option than a wax which lasts 1-2 months only!
