So we have just swapped out the second car Fiesta for a new one and I was a little loath to spend another 350 quid getting it a new car pro detail, as the old ball and chain does really care that much about cars.
So instead, I spent some time doing some research on sealants and some cash on products and took a day off to spend the whole day on her car. I do take care with washing cars, but I'm not an expert by any means. Anyway for anyone who is still reading, this was the process: Snow foam Wash Iron out Agitate then wash Paint cleanser (to strip the shit dealer wax) Meguaires synthetic sealent M21 (3 coats). It was not and is not now 100% swirl free, but to be honest it was pretty reasonable. Anyway, it rained overnight so we get to see some beading...

New car for the wife.
Good swap! Looks like a good coating there and beading, will be interesting to see how this holds up.

Interested myself. Sealant Was chosen as it was pretty easy to apply on YouTube with good reviews and is very easy to buff off. Pleased with it but let's see it in 7 months time.

Love some beading porn myself
On a side note, I love the colour of the new fiesta. Blue wave apparently. Quite similar to the 4 series snapper rocks.
