Topcoat F11 or other paint sealer
Has anyone seen the commercials for this or a similar product? It seems to be too good to be true. I'm looking for a good wax to keep the car cleaner longer.

For that price I expect it to wash the car for me every time it gets dirty. Did you read the reviews? Not exactly glowing.
I use this:https://www.amazon.com/Jescar-Power-...e%2C179&sr=1-6 I apply it in the spring and fall. A quart will last you at least three years. |

Sonax polymer netshield topped with brilliant shine detailer will get you long lasting protection and keep your car/wheels cleaner longer

Your talking over my head here. I'm going to see if I can find a detailer in my area. I'm just too lazy to do this kind of work.

I have topcoat and love/hate it. On lighter cars it looks and works great, but on darker or metallic cars it is very streaky, and difficult to get the streaks away. However, it works great on plastics and wheels. I also use it on my motorcycles with plastics and it works great there.
I also have Mazerna Power lock, and to me it's more of a wax/sealant. The smooth finish doesn't last as long as I would like. I have on order some bead maker, and will report once I try it. |

So today I did both the brilliant shine and sonax polymer netshield. what a process. Glad I had brand new micro fiber towels from Chem guys. That stuff does not go on easy, but the car looks great for being 6 yrs old. thanks again for the tip! |

The process is a bit tricky, but you’ll be happy with the results. Your car looks amazing. Enjoy the beading

Do you already have DA and other tools for paint correction? Have a coating in mind? |

You'd be better off using a similar technique but with BMWs own touch up paint, and a product called Langka Blob Eliminator http://www.langka.com/ That way, you're more likely to get a good paint match and you can control how much excess paint you take off.

Should be no problem. I would not be surprised if even the mothers by itself gave good protection. It’ll serve as a good topper I’m sure until you run out and can experiment with others. |
