Thanks mate!
Nanolex is a nano sealant (Similar to Wolf's Hard Body) 22PLE (silica/glass) and OptiCoat (resin) are coatings (not nano sealants) Particle structures are different, but all are polymer based sealants At the end of the day, the definition of sealant (in automotive reference) would be the same as paint protection or coating - it's basically anything that seals the paintwork from contaminants and liquids, hence "paint protection". What to choose? Horses for courses. Depends what you are after. Some have different finishes (eg. glassy look vs slick feel vs colour depth) and ultimate factor is hardness (which will impact on scratch resistance) and claimed durability (eg. wax vs synthetic sealant vs nano sealant vs other coating). Hope this helps |

Wow Raj that MG F30 looks awesome!!!
I'll bet the guy who owns it is totally stoked that his car looks better than new.... and that you got that nasty sap stain out of the bonnet! Thanks again for a job well done.

I have been offered from BMW today on my F31 328i touring M sport with Sydney racing carnival promotion for BMW seal and Protect program for $2690 incl. GST excl. LCT and Stamp Duty ($3600 all inclusive). ends tomorrow and will be back to $3690 exc LCT and Stamp Duty from Monday.
Including Exterior Paint Sealant Interior Leather Treatment Interior Carpet and Fabric Treatment BMW Approved Tinted Windows (all touring windows plus panorama sunroof). Since I didn't order the factory sun/heat glazing coz they don't do the two front windows, will it be worth or much cheaper to do it outside with similar BMW offer? My Accord Euro had the paint protection, fabric and all windows tinted for $1200 all inclusive. Need Advise from professional or fellow BMW users. |

Interior leather treatment. Any good quality leather protecting solution as mentioned above will work, as will carpet & fabric treatments. Easy DIY job for a fistful of $$$ BMW approved tinted windows???? Never heard of that scam before. For me, it was $500.00 gst inc for fully bodywork clean, decontamination & 2 coats of Hard Body. Alloys were done as well, as was interior. $400.00 gst inc for 35% Carbon XP tinting. Perfect job. $900.00 vs $2690. OK, add some extra for F31, call it $1500 vs 2690. So the panorama roof isn't factory tinted? Does not make sense. My sedan's sunroof has a 35% tint from the factory as standard. Surely the F31 has factory standard tint. Not a good deal there for you.

F31 320i/328i come with standard 'Heat/Sun Protection Glazing' without further info on the spec sheet, and in the option, you can get the Sun Protection Glazing for darker tinted glass for rear and rear side windows for extra $799.37 inc. GST and LCT.
They didn't specify the tinted level on the standard Heat/sun protection glazing. as always not darker tint for the front windows. Mackie777 had his tinted afterward and i definitely won't want to spend extra sales pitch and $900 for extra stamp duty and LCT, no thanks. rather spend these money on my mortgage. |
