Diamondbrite

Anyone have any experience of this? Wife is getting a new car this weekend and I have this kit, got it free and want to use it on the new car but only if it will make life easier, not harder!

Wont do any harm, mass product sealant likes hyundai and other dealers have used. My cousin had it with his, I used it first time it did a job but was quite poor for longevity.

There better sealants out there, have a butchers at likes of detailshed or dandd detailing there both irish and have suitable/better products.

It great idea to get it sealed being new, but as with any car the better the preperation the better the results.

I may as well use it as I have it so, whenever I notice it degrading I'll strip it back and look at something else.

Forgot to add, it's a non-metallic paint if that makes any difference.

No harm in using it but you'd be better off giving the car a good prep first

Rinse
Snowfoam
Wash
De iron
Clay
Apply sealant (Diamondbrite or have a look as suggested on Detailing shed)

Yep, I plan on prepping it properly first. Have requested that the dealer doesn't touch it.

Best of luck with it anyway

As said, it will do a job, but how good a job will be questionable - better than nothing as they say.
The paintwork being metallic or non-metallic will no make a difference.

The effort you'd put into the prep work for it, if it were me, Id rather put on something that I know I will be getting the advantage from it....
- if it were a wax, I would know durability may not be too great, but I know I'll get the wet look and nice beading
- if it were a sealant, I know that durability will be greater than the wax, but at the expense of the ultimate appearance
- if it were a nano product, I know durability for up to a year, will be easy to wash and maintain, etc

Who knows what you will get from the Diamondbrite, but its certainly better than nothing.

Cheers Curran. I did her last car with Collinite 845 and it was fantastic. I'm tempted to get a professional protection detail done on this one now and chance the diamondbrite on my own car instead when I strip everything back in a few weeks for the summer.

If it were me I would prep the paint properly and give it two coats of 845.

Yeah that's what I did with her last one. Got full prep and two coats 845 and was so easy to clean after.

Looks like diamondbrite will be a handy gift for someone so!!
