    Brian in Spirit Detailing applied a ceramic sealant / coating on it about a month ago. I'm thinking aloud now if I should give it the occasional top-up with a good wax or would I be wasting my time/effort/cash? :pac:

    Maybe just give it a shot of something like Gtechniq C2V3 or OAC Perfection after each wash.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Curran


    Funny bunch, aint yiz!! Feck off! :D

    Joe, no, would leave it as is, anything applied on top, is going to take away from the coating he applied.

    Thanks Curran.

    Hmmm, I was thinking later on, say in a few months time if I have to do a big de-tar on it (kinda inevitable), would I not need to apply some kind of top on it then, whether it be a sealant or a wax? The rear end of the car is unreal for sucking up tar and iron deposits, so I find that I have to de-iron / de-tar the rear end a lot especially...

    My best advice would be to shoot Brian an email, on how best to maintain the coating - he might have some maintenance products that will boost the current coating.

    In a nutshell.

    Well I did just that, and Brian suggests leaving well enough alone :pac: Any wax / top-up that I'd apply would probably be a waste of time and effort and if anything it could reduce the effectiveness of his coating.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Curran


    As I said! :)

    Certain products do have maintenance products that can be used to help boost the coating, and certain shampoos that should also be used; as certain shampoos clog the microscopic links of the coating.

    CarPro Reload for example is designed as a stand alone product but also something that helps cleanse and boost the Cquartz UK nano coating they sell. So if the coating starts to lack a bit of pop or beading seems to be going away because the coating is clogged, it's alost like resetting it.

    On a similar subject, my car came with the Autoglym Lifeshine coating on it, so I did some reading up and it is one of the coatings that you can put a wax on top of and it should actually help it last somewhat longer also. So I washed the car this weekend and gave it a coating of Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax. Some morning dew (was late for work so couldn't spend the time to get more decent shots :( ).

    Car still managing to look like it;s covered in felt every morning when I go out, thanks to it not actually raining since it was last given some TLC.

    You can just about make out the steam rising from it in this picture as well, which looked really sweet in person, but the camera didn't quite capture it so well.
