If it was your car...


What would you do?

Situation:

Non-Climate controled Garaged car. Drivin about 3-4 times a month.

Option 1: Nano Coating
Advantages: More scratch resistant, extreamly long life, major water sheeting, peace of mind.

Option 2: Natural Wax only
Advantages: Warmer shine, more natural feel and look, more "pampered".

Option 3: Sealant
Advantages: Glassy shine, longer life, bit more peice of mind over wax.

I went through the same thing before..I was going to Opti-Coat my car just because I was getting sick of how soft the paint is and how easy a scratch can happen on my paint..but I decided I didnt feel like doing it. So i just Blackfire Wet Diamond it.

You know me Justin I like the nano sealants and what they do I suggest Wolfs Chemicals Bodywrap or the Aquartz combo then top either one with Permanon Platinum now that's some extreme protection, gloss, beading and sheeting :-)

That is what I am leaning to. However, I am anal about the condition of the paint. I would hate to apply a nano coating and strip it every 6 months because I get tired of the swirls and water marks. Using a sealant or wax I am not that bothered since it normally won't last till 6 months anyways.

Well then its really your call my friend or go with Opticoat V2 and use poliseal to remove the swirl mark but that mean no carnauba waxing anymore ever unless you compound it off.
