*Official* Ask A Detailer Thread

Any good wax or spray sealant like one from Gtechniq, or car pros reload.. Lots to choose from and all will help protect them..

 

Alright, maybe that

$22 collinite 845 insulator wax-easy to use carnauba+polymer wax sealant-high gloss shine+durable hydrophobic beading & long lasting paint protection for cars/boats/trucks/rvs & motorcycles (16 fl oz)

collinite 845 is it ? Or a paint sealer over my wheel clear coat?

 

A sealant on the wheels works better than a wax. The sealant will withstand the higher temps better.

 

Ok thanks! What is a less expensive, affordable common one? From Amazon or something. Or what is one you'd recommend?

Megs #21 maybe

 

Megs #21.

$21 Meguiar's Professional Synthetic Sealant 2.0 M2116 - Premium Synthetic Car Paint Sealant, Long-Lasting Protection, Additional Gloss and Hydrophobic Properties for High Water Beading, 16 Oz Liquid

Works well on the paint as well. When topped with a wax it can really make your Tacoma shine.

 

So wash truck, wax/quick wax, sealant, then wax again?

And how much should I buy? How far will it go?

 

Wash clay wash sealant wax then quick wax to maintain.

 

Alright, thanks! I might have a detailer do it lol, I'll see. I need a good polishing

 

After you do it yourself once and see the results you are responsible for you won't ever pay someone to do it for you... Or you will hate every second! Haha!

 

I mean I just replaced my suspension and I've done some long projects, it can't be that bad. I may just have the detailer polish it after I clay since I don't have a buffer machine, but maybe not. Its up in the air. Lol, I can't reach the roof though, I'll need a step ladder or open door. There's a tiny rust spot on my roof, I should clay it to see if it gets better then sand with high grit, then put some paint I guess

 

Anyone ever try any "Ammo NYC" products?
His videos are quite good and he knows his stuff.

 

There not bad from what I've read on the detail forums way over priced though , but there are lot cheaper products that work as good or better... Car pro brands, Gtechniq..

 

I waited too long and it's $50 now

 

Chopper - check again every day for some time. It might come down again; I've seen that happen with other stuff and and the better price had returned.

Thanks I will

 

Still wondering how much megs 21 paint sealant I should buy? Small 16 oz or larger 64oz

 

Not a professional here but it depends on your needs I think. Assuming the larger one is cheaper...

1. Just trying out the product and unsure if you will reuse? Buy the 16 oz
2. Know it is what you need and will buy again? Buy the 64 oz

Really either way works. 1 seems safer though.

Idk, I need a paint sealer, and that's the best one for the price so hmm, may just get the small one first to see or just go big or go home lol

 

Get the 16 oz. just in case if you don't like the product.
