After reading you lot waxing lyrical ( :groan:) about the Jetseal, I bought this:
http://www.chemguys.com.au/Mobile_Detailing_Kits_p/hol_101.htm (http://www.chemguys.com.au/Mobile_Detailing_Kits_p/hol_101.htm)
5050 Limited Series Concourse Paste Wax
Jetseal109™-Protection Beyond Need, Shine Beyond Reason.
2-Fluffer Towels-24" x16" (60cm x 40cm) Ultra Plush Super Soft Microfiber (new)
2-Duracfoam Applicators red- Premium Paste Wax Applicators
I did a test patch on the new car (wax on, wax of, jetseal x2) and can't see a difference but you can feel the difference and I expect it will shed dust and dirt better. I'll give the wheels some jetseal as well.
When I get a chance I'll do the Getz where I am expecting to see a big difference. I'll post some pics when I do.
-
You are a busy "boy" Keith :sweating:
-
No time to mess about. Although I previously said there was no visible difference, its actually pretty clear now there is.

Not an awesome picture but shows a pretty impressive reflection on the roof. All of the car done except the very front and if it cools down a bit later I'll see if I can get some better pictures outside.

Looks very nice :goodjob2: :goodjob:

You are in the same boat as me Keith.. A near new car isn't going to show the same marked improvement as an older one...(still a nice shine though) :D
-
You are in the same boat as me Keith.
:undecided: Rick's with Trish, you're in a boat with Keith... :confused:
What is going on here? :eek:

Gecko poo, gently resting atop the i30's freshly Jetsealed roof. Our geckos have no respect. :whistler:
You can also see the dust that's accumulated overnight as well.
-
:Shocked: Gee, you must have big geckos over there .. Sure it wasn't a Goanna? :rofl:
It's ok just joshing .. Nice macro photography :goodjob: (another of your hobbies?)
-
Afraid so. Although all my photos recently have been awful. Its the curse of the iPhone.
The gecko poo just blew right off the car. Go Jetseal. :happydance:
-
Like sh1T off a shiny shovel, to coin a good old Aussie phrase. :D
-
I think I need some Jetseal! 6 days and our car was covered in strange gold coloured mini poop blobs :fum:
-
I like Maguires products for my i30 and Zymol for my classic cars.

I have a bucket full of Maguires products and they do work well. I figured I'd give this a go instead. The microfibre towels are the business I'd have to say irrespective of the products used.
-
I agree, the microfibres are good.
I didn't start using them until relatively recently (I'm a bit slow with change) but I use them all the time now.
-
Maguires cleaner + chemguys 5050 + jetseal. I've only done the top down to the waist and bonnet. The undone bits are quite noticeably darker and less shiner in the flesh.

Number one son's interest is piqued. There may be another i30 getting the treatment over the weekend.
-
Very nice. :goodjob:

Coming up a treat :exclaim:

Looks Ace!

Here we go, the finished article, one shiny Getz courtesy of Maguire's cleaner, chemguys 5050 + jetseal. It needs another coat but it will have to wait for another day. Our neighborhood is now crawling with Hyundais, you can see the black i30 there in the background.

Nice job, Keith.
I'm feeling lazy.
-
Looks amazing :goodjob: I have to learn how to do this!
And yeah, we have another i30 in the street, an i20 and a getz and there's only about 10 houses in the whole street!
-
I'm feeling lazy.
Me too. Now I don't have to do it again for months. Hopefully.

We have another I30 in the driveway, the neighbour across the road has one, and the neighbour 2 doors up has an Ix35.
