Which Nanolex product?

[Transporter]

I have 2 years old silver metallic Octavia to detail incl. wax/sealant (or both). The paint is in almost perfect condition.

Which Nanolex product would be the best to use? He is a good customer of mine so the longevity is important. His intention is to have it re-done in 12 months time and he washes his car weekly.

If you are looking for a full 12 months protection then you will need to apply this Nanolex Premium Sealant and maybe suggest to your customer to use this Reactivating Shampoo it is a great wash and will make sure the coating, protection and water beading remain throughout the year.

Thanks,

just finished the job. Car looks good. I've used NanoWax let it dry for 2 hours and used premium spray sealant on the top. He is happy with the result.

Great products, I'm converted to Nanolex now.

Thanks for the feedback and news.

Nanowax is a great All-In-One Product and with the Premium Sealant on top it should last nicely. If you can get your customer to use the Reactivating Shampoo the waterbeading and protection will carry on and on and on...

What premium wax if any would you recommend after a nanolex sealant treatment?
Would a wax add depth if applied after it?

Cheers

morgs,

To be honest with you i would just leave the Nanolex and not layer it for a Black car. You will get a really nice glassy, wet sharp look from the black this way which personally i think looks a lot better for black colours.

If you do have pearl/flake (metallic) paint such as BMP you can layer it for a bit more depth however you will still notice the flake in the paint with the nanolex.

Personal choice at the end of the day! But i think black when it looks 'wet' and 'glossy' is the best look for a black car!

I am geting a new GTI in Feb. I presume it wouldn't need Nanowax but just the sealant when the car arrives? Cheers. S

Corey:
Nanolex and Gtech are similar on some products like Nanolex Professional is similar in looks and performance to C1, both amazingly long lasting but the Gtech usually comes out more expensive for a lesser quantity. Both class leading in the world of sealants though.

Stu:
Yes absolutley correct you can just go straight on with the Sealant Kit to seal and protect - for both paint and rims even glass and leather!

Carcareproducts: when I ordered my GTI I had a followup call from the dealer offering dealer paint sealant and interior treatment (and rear tinting). I wonder if they simply use your products for this. However, they did say the treatment is guaranteed for 3 years! Any thoughts? S

Hi all,

Quick delivery on products! thanks CCP.
Spend most of today applying products, arms/back now stuffed...

This is what I did today. Car new, never washed, black metallic paint.

Washed with ph neutral shampoo. 2 buckets/mit.
Wiped dry with microfibre towel.
Clay bar with lube spray.
Hosed down and towel dry again.
Applied Nanolex paint cleaner
Applied Nanolex paint sealant
Applied Nanolox Glass cleaner
Apllied Nanolex Glass sealant.

Finish looks great.

After all this was applied I noticed very small flaws in the factory paint, perhaps due to the now mirror like finish. Not sure if they are swirl marks, but I can see very fine lines if I look hard and close in some parts of the body. (Strange car has never been washed until now.) Not sure what the dealer did before delivery though.

Also noticed huge amount of static. Its attracting dust and things floating in the air etc.
Also I am getting smudges, not sure if the sealant needs more time as the surface is not as slippery as I expected like some waxes I have used on other cars.
Will try a second coat of sealant again soon.

Anyone had static/smudge issues?

Cheers Morgan
