Cheap Sealant / Professional Results / Pics
Hello CL community,
I was at my local Auto Zone the other day and I found this paint sealant for $18.00. I decided to give it a try and was amazed by the results. It is an all-in-one cleaner, polisher & wax. There's was no need to polish the paint before applying the sealant. I took a few pictures of the end results. Take a look!

holy moly lexi. that thing looks gorgeous! going to do my spring detail soon. any reccomendations to get rid of swirls? My handwash place has left me with swirls galore =/. This is why we need to wash our cars ourselves but the winter had other ideas lol. I have Mothers Pure Polsh and Im planning on using that. I just don't want to blow through my clear coat so I want to use something not too abrasive. lll probably do a full paintcorrection when I do optigloss or cquartz. so any recommendation to get me by for now would be appreciated. you seem to be a freak about keeping a clean car like I am hah!

Griot's Garage makes some pretty solid products. I will say their polish and sealant's about average. For my Lexus I use Menzerna's Power Lock Polymer sealant and top it off with 2 coats of Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax 845. This has got to be the most underrated liquid wax on the market and I've tried all the expensive stuff most recently Auto Finnese Desire carnauba wax.

lexi90...that is an AMAZING wax job!! Do you do bikini lines? *lol*
In all seriousness, your IS looks stunning and I can't wait to pick up my 350 F sport AWD next week (or teh week after) and do my detailing job!

Just a bit (wet-powder looking) on the plastic trim on the rear bumper, but I wiped it off with a microfiber towel and it came off completely!
