i found this on a detail shops web site. i want to know what sealant they use if it last as long a they claim? waiting to hear back from them.



8. Paint Sealant
Detail
Make Appointment


2-3 Hours
Our long-term Paint Sealant protection service is for people who plan to keep their cars for a “long time” and want “long term” paint protection. Our Paint Sealant would be used in place of wax and actually bonds an invisible shield of polymer protection that will protect your car’s paint from the environmental elements and the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays through a process called molecular cross linking. Your car’s paint
will be protected for up to a year. Annual resealing applications are recommended for a superior lasting shine and superior protection.


$200 AND UP

9. Buff and Wax
Detail
Make Appointment

2-3 Hours
Our two-step Buff and Wax polishing service is intended to correct minor to medium paint imperfections like light scratches and oxidation. Your car is first professionally machine buffed through our exclusive swirl free
foam pad buffing process which uses special polishes, glazes with resins to restore the paint close to it’s original beauty. Our Premium Wax is machine applied to seal in the protection and leave a “wet look” brilliant shine. Up to six months protection. Additional cost for compounding.


$120 AND UP


10. Wash and Wax
Make Appointment


1.5-2
Hours
This one step exterior polishing service is for newer vehicles in which the paint is in very good condition and needs no paint correction. After vehicle is washed and prepped, a generous amount of Premium Wax is machine applied to leave a brilliant shine. Up to three months protection.

$70 AND UP
11. Elite Velvet Wash
Make Appointment


0.5-1.5
Hours
Vehicle’s wheels, wheel wells, tires, trim and front fascia are first pre-soaked, scrubbed and rinsed to loosen and remove dirt, grime, grease and bug splatter residue. Then mounds of bubbly car wash soap suds with a special polymer are used to wash the vehicle with a lambs wool mitt to leave a sparkling, dazzling shine. All exterior rubber and vinyl trim are treated to a like-new condition. Interior is vacuumed, dash and steering column are wet dusted and special attention given to clean mirrors, windows, and window tips. Interior fragrance available upon request.


$50 AND UP

12. Paint
Contamination
Removal
Make Appointment

3-6 Hours
Many vehicles today are subject to paint overspray as well as other types of contamination from freshly painted bridges, buildings, and roadways. Left untouched, the contamination can embed itself deep into today’s clear coated paints making it almost impossible to remove. Our claying procedure will easily remove most contaminants quickly and safely. We recommend one of our exterior protection services after this
procedure.

$150 AND UP

13. Soft Top Cleaning
Make Appointment

0.5 Hours
Many convertible tops are made of cloth or vinyl today (AKA “stay fast”material). These soft tops are prone to environmental fallout, staining and spotting. Vehicle’s soft top is first thoroughly cleaned with a special
cleaning agent formulated just for fabric or vinyl roofs. Once cleaned and dried, protection is applied to protect the surface from these elements.

$50 AND UP
 
Its probably the samething they use to sell at dealerships. It comes with a warranty. I have never seen the warranty work for any customer that had a problem.
 
yeah, the key words there are up to 1 year. 2 months is up to a year, ain't it??
 
i know the sealant you talking about. it might last 1 month if memory serves me right
 
The other problem was the new car department would try to pawn it off on the service dept. Wouldnt even try to help the customer after told them you need this and you will never have to wax your car.Man I hated those days.
 
i am glad i am out of the dealerships. dang sales people were A-holes. thought they ran the place. service department made more than sales did.
 
Yes, 90% of service depts carry the stores. I cant complain now being a service manager-income is very good and I can do my own main. and not get my garage dirty.

Geez, I hope not. He can teach them after I teach him a few things about being neat. :buffing: Thats exactly what he looks like using a polisher. #### all over the place. Then I gotta spend an hour cleaning up.

well if we could both speak english, plus its just new car prep, not my concern. Plus I do not push details at work just for that very reason. As for you Dan, all I can say is young guys always think they can do it better. I do remember a certain Audi that I had to rescue you own. I told you I was always bring that up if you keep complaining about a little buffer dust.
 
haha, I know Im not as good as you with a polisher. But just wait till I have to save your vettes interior. Poor baby doesn't like doing interiors.

Just wait until you guys see the next car we post. Youll see the best taping job in your life. See he makes me tape better, I make him be neater. We work well together.
