Recommend me a sealant...

[Ryanj]

So my mother in law has just picked up a brand new fiat 500L trekking and would like me to give it a going over and protect it, so I am looking for a new sealant.
i won't get chance for regular top ups, so my requirements are this;
- 6 months durability ideally
- decent protection
- doesn't require too much maintenance
- looks are a bonus
my original plan was CQUK, but I don't currently have a machine polisher and don't see the point in wasting it on anything less than perfect paint. (Some suggestions of a wheel sealant would be good too)
I've been looking at wolfs hard body but seem to get mixed reviews. So, what would you recommend?

3-4 months from hydro2

Hi there Ryan,

Have you considered our Paint Sealant, Tough Coat.

Tough Coat is an easy to apply spray on Paint Sealant. If layered from the outset (two to three layers) you will see up to six months durability. It helps reflectivity on lighter colour cars also so also looks great.

Heres a link to Tough Coat: http://shop.autofinesse.co.uk/tough-coat-250ml

Any other questions let me know.

Getchniq C1?

FK1000p? As its a high temp sealant it will work for both your wheels and paint
Gives an almost glassy look to silver cars but doesn't give much flake "pop", seems to last 6 months plus for me, although i don't do many miles

Getchniq C1?

Too "difficult" to apply and same issues with needing a perfect base as CQUK, Stu.

FK1000p? As its a high temp sealant it will work for both your wheels and paint

A good shout. That or 845 Insulator Wax. Or C2V3...

Tough Coat is also pretty good tbf.

Lots of options, Ryan.

Collinite 476S is great for durability. It's my 'go to' wax when detailing work colleagues cars that I know will never see a decent wash (nevermind wax) for another 6 months.
