Very nice. I like the trailer too. Lets get some pics of the inside!
 
Nice looking Corolla! The silver has a real nice look to it.

I too tried using Picasa as a photo host and it didn't work on public forums for some reason....

One question though- why did you put a sealant on after the wax????

Yes, I'm wonder the same thing. The only one I can think of is OS. Do we have another sealant that we can do that with?
 
sealant comes before wax , you likely removed your efforts with P21S. Even with OS as topper, you need to leave time for wax to cure properly. Please tell ....
 
Corolla looks great! Detailing trailer looks good with your logo on it!
 
Very nice Corolla, I did one of those and the silver turned out great. I like how silver looks when maintained.

I too like the trailer and I really like your logo, it's unique (as it should be).

Thanks for sharing oh and about the sealent include me in the pool as to why you used it after the wax.

thanks for sharing.

Ok well let me fill you guys in on something. I don't use any of the product line you guys do. All my stuff comes from a company called Rightlook.com

No that I have anything against what you use, but I like their stuff. I spent a week at their school in san deigo and they taught us that their sealant is that last thing to go on. To be honest with you, if you sealed something, why would you want to put something on top of it.

I let that P21s paste wax cure for about 30 mins (I usually only do 15, but I was at home and not in a rush). After that I wiped it off with a MF towel then applied the polymer sealant. I have done it on a couple of vehicles and have always had great results.

And for those of you who liked my trailer, I will spiffy it up here in a little bit and give ya'll a sneak peak of my stuff!!!
 
Polymer sealant huh...wouldn't that have bonding issues to the wax though? I have no experiance with P21S paste wax?

What you say makes sence...mm...interesting. The only sealent I own and used it the Wolfgang sealent and I use it the traditional way. Apply sealent, let it sit over night and then go over it with wax...mmm. Good info curious to see what killr and other experianced memeber will say about this though. I'm green when it comes to sealents.
 
i don't have any experience with their paste as well, this is my first time using it. I signed up for their testing. Every now and then when they have experimental product they send it and i try it out and judge it.

I don't claim to know it all... but the same could be said if you did it the reverse way, put the sealant down and then apply wax to the top of it?? would not the have bonding issues as well??

Thanks for sharing, just never heard of that before. That's what I like about this forum, you learn something new everyday. Will the product work on top of Megs #7?
 
Sparkie, I'm not sure. I'd be more than glad to get you enough to do one coat and let you try it out. The only thing you would have to do is later on down the line see how the beading is still working. I put this paint sealant on my mom's firebird for her birthday, and it rained that same night and I tell you what, her car beaded up beautifully, and as she was driving you could see the rain drops fly off her car!! was great
 
Well Dust2Glory, did the Rightlook.com people apply paste waxes and then sealants or did they just say sealants go on last? There's a big difference between the two. Since rightlook doesn't have a paste wax, I don't think they used one....

Polymer paint sealants need bond to the paint to ensure maximum durability. There shouldn't be any oils or wax on the paint when you use a sealant because it won't bond. The rightlook people are right saying that sealants go on last, but never before a wax...... Your P21S wax topped with the sealant won't last long... I'm not sure if there is sealant or wax left, but they both won't be there....

BTW- Just because this is an AG forum doesn't mean you can use or post about other companies products.. you just can't link to another detail store...
