    Protecting Mythos Black Metallic new car

    I’d like to keep my new car looking new. I did not purchase
    the paint protection package from the dealer. My main concern
    is protecting the paint as best I can from bug residue and bird poop as well
    as dirt and grime. I also want to keep it shining.

    Is there a product or products you would recommend? My car is
    straight from the dealer. I haven’t washed it yet or used any products.

    Thank you!

    Re: Protecting Mythos Black Metallic new car

    A few questions..., is the car garage kept? Where do you live? Is it a daily driver? Do you have time to properly maintain it or will it be sent through a touchless car wash?

    My family has 5 vehicles and all 5 have ceramic coatings on them. It is awesome protection and everyday washes are easier BUT you have to take the time to do them correctly. The answers to the questions above will go a long way toward folks being able to help you out.

    Congrats on the new ride. Pictures???

    Thank you for the reply. The car is garage kept. It is not my daily driver but will
    be used for leisure and light travel occasionally.
    I do wash my own cars. I’m able to do so at least twice a month.

    I have good luck on my S4 with:
    - Polish with CarPro Essence
    - Coated with CQuartz UK 3.0
    - Wash with Chemical Guys Honey Dew Soap or do Rinseless wash with Wolfgang Uber Waterless Wash
    - Maintain with any one of the Spray on / Rinse off Sio2 Spray Coatings (CarPro Hydro2 / DP Hydro Wet Seal / BlackFire Hydro Seal) - I actually use the "Blue One" that we shouldn't discuss....

    This summer I will also be trying washing with Wolfgang Uber Coating wash.

    FYI my car is a DD and the UK 3.0 has made it 2 years using these ideals (including rinseless washes in winter) - I'll be refreshing it later this summer.... Just polished it all off this Saturday and will be looking to finish it up in an upcoming weekend (Ran out of time)

    Are you looking into a ceramic coating or sealant?

    I would prefer a sealant mainly because I’m more familiar with these

    I have Mythos Black paint on my Audi. The longest lasting sealant I've used to date is a combination of Duragloss 105/601 mixed 4:1. It lasted a solid six months.

    Mixing Duragloss 111 sealant with 601 would also be a good choice. The key is to use the 601 with the 105 or the 111. It's the same principle as using Part A&B epoxy. 601 is the hardener component and gives the sealant longevity.

    In that case I recommend this product. Behaves exactly as a sealant but gives added protection over a traditional sealant.
    Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant

    Recently completed a review on it.

    I do also try different products / ideals on my other cars (Subaru LGT / Camaro) - I also like to use Gyeon Can Coat - it's a "Coating Light" - meaning it's sort of like combination of sealant and coating - it applies similar to a sealant and has only 6 - 8 month durability, but has behavior of coating (beading / appearance/ generally self cleaning )

    You might take look at that as well - it's super easy to apply and really has nice look with good durability - same maintenance protocols as you would a coating to help extend the durability.
