Protecting New Paint

[Sword_Dude]

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend someone to do this sort of work on the Northside of Brisbane.
I have a Polo on order with delivery due in about July, I have managed to stall the dealer's for their overpriced stuff but I am time poor (or a bit lazy...you pick) so I am looking for someone reputable to put on some of the nano technology paint protection stuff, along with interior protection.
Also how much should this cost, roughly.
cheers

Mr carcareproducts above can offer good advice & sell you product (at a discount for Vwwc members). Otherwise, try Waxit.com.au or ChemGuys.

crap i've ordered like $360 worth of stuff over the last week and didn't know about carcareproducts discount code

Just chuck on a dodo juice hard wax - from that carcareproducts site - it will only take 40 mins MAX to and it should last you 3-6 months - heaps cheaper.

Hi guys, looking for some advice on protecting new black paint.

Reading a few 'how to' guides on the interweb and there is so much differing opinion it is quite confusing and scary for a detailing noob.

Some say never clay black paint as you will introduce light scratching no matter how careful you are. Some people say if you do it right with the right clay and lube you will have no problems. Others say if you clay a black car you will always have to polish afterwards.

Who is right!?

If my brand new car has been wrapped up in plastic, can I give it a good wash and apply nanolex without claying? Or would it be likely the paint will still have some degree of contaminants on its surface?

Any advice appreciated!

Claying will not induce scratches providing you do it correctly. You do it outside and of course the dust will come over the car and you will find small marks.

Its completely up to you. DO without the claying or with. Personally i would clay first then follow with the nanolex cleaner and nanolex sealant.

3-6 months it lasts?!$# Are you eating the product!

1x 250ml Dodo Wax should last a car if you were re-applying every 2/3 months as you should approx 2-3 years. Should cover a Golf/A3 at least 20-30 times over!!

Hi all,

Has anyone ever used the DIY Ceramic Polymer sealant kit available from Duco Scratch up here in Qld. Does it actually do what they promise?
I am looking for a product or kit that does what this kit says it does for around the same price (or better) under $300.
I am a newby to this detailing caper and you can tell from my faded 20 yo old civic where the clear coat has come off.
I just want to use a system that will protect my car and last for a long while between applications without all the hogwash, I don't care if it takes 4 hours to do it if I only have to do it every 2nd year, and just wash it regularly in the meantime.
Any advice appreciated

CCP,

Yes it will be for the Polo.
I want something that will protect the paint long term (2 + years) and look good, while making washinig etc easier.
What would you recommend?
