Hey Everyone!

So, my family and i are leaving for Key West this tuesday and we will be their for 7 days. Unfortunatly the car cover i ordered will not arrive until after i am gone...

So, i trying to figure out just what i need to do to insure that my car will be properly protected out in the elements for the next 7 days...

A week ago i put the DG Sealant on the car and i was going to top it with SSII...but i haven't yet...i could do another coat of the DG sealant but i believe thats a cleaner so it would be pointless b/c it would only be taking off the DG already present...

So what should i do? Top the DG with SSII or Liquid Souv? What combination will give me the greatest amount of protection...o and tuesday morning b4 we leave could i go over the car with Aqua Wax? i know this is all over kill but if my car is going to be outside for 7 days i want it to be as protected as possible!

Thanks!

O yea and my GF might come over when the car cover arrives and clean my car haha and cover it for me...that would be great!

Id put on a coat of SSII. WG DGS is a pure sealant, I dont believe it has any cleaners in it. So you could put on another coat if you wanted.
 
I would believe you're good with that DG sealant, even a beauty wax. 7 days is surely not long enough to make your sealant/wax disappear :). I'd just suggest bringing a quick detailer (one that is a cleaning QD, not one for after washing) and some microfibers for the bird bombs.

Actually, I think he has DG, Duragloss 105, not Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant.

Either way, I'd skip the wax and put another layer of sealant. You want durability and protection.
 
Ah, you're right. Its too late for me.
 
Key West --- Duval Street --- Fat Tuesday = forget about girlfriend, car, cover and likely where you decided to stay. The walk from FT to the Southernmost Hotel was painless (although quite far) after a day of lively spirits !!

What would you consider to be one of these types of QDers ??
 
i wont have the car with me...it will remain in the driveway in jersey...

and yes i have the Duragloss 105 Sealant...if it doesn't have any cleaners in it then i will simply clean the car and seal it with another coat of the DG...although i have to make sure that the rain will stay way for the evening...

thanks for the help!

o yea killrwheels...trust me (we are like 7/10th) of a mile from Duval St. - i will be stumbling home every single night...its not going to be easy haha! but i am so so looking forward to it!

I am sure there is a story there, but I am not so sure I want to hear it. :eek:
 
Seven days of car in Jorsey driveway ..... got a good theft policy ????
 
Key West huh? We stayed at the hotel at the end of Duval St where the Ocean Liners come in and it was great.

DG #105 for me has the slightest amount of cleaners and IMO can by layered for more protection.
 
haha...not worried about wear i live in jersey...far and away much more expensive cars to be stolen in my area...plus im just not worried in general!

...yea i haven't even started my car yet but its 11pm and the lights will be turned on and i will be getting to work soon...

good thing we are leaving at 5:30 am...o well! have to make sure the civic is safe while i am away!
