No second cost needed. Take your time with first coat and you’ll be fine. I applied PNS to my daughters car in April 2020 and maintained it with Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer every 3 months or so. Water is still beading almost as good as it was when I first applied it. Great stuff, very...

Agreed. I strip and reapply every spring and fall. I wash with Wolfgang Sio2 coating wash and maintain with Wolfgang Sio2 silica spray. This regimen works great for me.&

Since you are using Wolfgang sealant, I would use Wolfgang paintwork polish enhancer. Don’t let the name fool you. It’s a paint cleaner. Work’s very well, have used by hand with excellent results. I would use a microfiber applicator instead of a foam applicator in order to aggressively lean the...

Glad I was able to help. That’s what this community is all about. What year GTO, 66 or 67?

Clay bar only removes contamination embedded in the paint. It won’t remove the film you spoke of. Let me know how you make out.

I would try a paint cleaner or light cutting polish to clean the paint. That should get rid of any film or contamination. If you don’t have a polisher, using by hand should give you the results you’re looking for. I have used Wolfgang paintwork polish enhancer( paint cleaner) and finishing...

Before polishing with PPE, I would use a clay bar in order to remove all contamination. If the surface feels at all rough, definitely clay. All other steps look on point, good luck.

Yep. A little pricey but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Wolfgang Uber SiO2 Silica Spray Longevity is 5-6 months

Since you have Wolfgang Sio2 paint sealant, I would use Wolfgang Sio2 silica spray on top of the sealant or as a stand alone product. I have used this combo on my red Hyundai Sonata and the paint absolutely glows. Great combo.

Agreed

I polished my daughters car with sonax 04-06 March 2020. Applied PNS, waited 24 hours and topped with BSD. 6 months later the car was beading water like I just applied it. Jump ahead to this past weekend, I washed car and applied another coat of BSD. Still beading water very well. Not the...

Can’t go wrong with Sonax polishes. I have used Cut and Finish, Ex 04/06, and NP 03-06 with excellent results.

Thanks for info. I’m not a racer but, have been a drag racing fan my whole life. Sportsman as much as the pros. Know what you mean about TD getting very quick last couple years. I’m in SE Pa. Go to the LODRS Div.1 race at Maple Grove every year. If you’re racing this year, good luck.

A little of topic, what class do you run in? Top Dragster, Super Comp, both? PBL surface coating is very user friendly.
