Wgdgps

been reading up on this sealant. looks to be a favorite. a few questions on it.

how was it to work with? leaving it on for 30-45 min. is different. any issues removing it?

guess a good paint cleaner/polish would be advised before application.

how did you find the durability?

how was the final look?

i have tried the WGDGSS and was blown away by the product.

Re: Wgdgps

Very easy to apply when using a PC. I usually do then whole vehicle wait 10 minutes or so, then wipe it off. Wipe off is a breeze. I have never had any problems whatsoever. A light polish or paint work cleanser would definitely help bondage. I found the durability very good. It gives a very deep glossy look. You will love this sealant. Well worth the money.

Re: Wgdgps

I think powerlock is pretty much the same thing, but cheaper if you want to go that route, both those and Wet Diamond are good products

Re: Wgdgps

It is super easy to use even if left on for hours. Durability is good also! A paint cleaner does help with durability due to proper bondage. The looks is very nice for a sealant IMO!

Hey Jim, have you tried this over a glaze? Like #7?

Hi Ted! To be honest, I really dont use glazes too much. The only time I may/do use a glaze is on a SS paint and I'll use No7 the day of a show. But to answer you question, I would not top No7 with WGDGPS because the oils in No7 prevent the sealant from properly bonding. As a matter of fact, I find that the durability of any LSP on top of No7 is greatly reduced IME.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just got #7 recently because a car I was working on had really deep scratches, and a lot of them; so many, in different directions, that they look like "swirls". most of the scratches were down almost to the basecoat, so removing them ment removing most or all of the clear. So I grabbed some #7 and topped it with a meg's sealant really quick. #7 filled some of the scratches...

I have not use the sealant per se, but I do like spritz. I use it as a maint topper . it def adds something to the paint, better than a normal qd .

No7 does fill rather nicely. 16 holds up on it pretty well as does Mothers Pure Carnuba paste but still you will find that you need to reapply a LSP sooner than without the No7. But in your situation, it sounds that the extra effort reapplying a LSP more often is worth it to help hide some of the defects that are unpolishable!

Cool. Sorry this thread got a bit hijacked...

I've got some WGDGPS to arrive Tuesday, can't wait to give it a try.
