Smile Autoglym sealer

I found some I've had but not really used much.
How does this rate? I've not really used sealer before so can't compare it

Thanks

If you are taking about the Extra Gloss Protection then I recommend it. There are others out on the market, but it does the job.

I find that making sure the car is fully cleaned first (including removing of any watermarks) then apply it and leave it for an hour gives a nice finish. Buff it off and away you go. Some people say that is all you need, but I always prefer to put a coat or 2 of a decent wax on afterwards to aid longevity.

100% spot on mate

Its best used prior to the finishing coat of wax.

I think I used it back to front, I used megs stage 3 wax then the sealant. Want to get different wax soon as I'm not 100% happy with it but it will do till the bottle runs out lol

Yes mate, you should seal then wax ontop but to be fair the megs stage 3 is not very good anyway.

Clean the car thoroughly, including machine mopping or claying if necessary. Dry the car and then use a Quik Detailer and wipe over the surface again, removing any dust, watermarks, etc... from the paintwork. Sealers do EXACTLY what they are marketed as. They seal paint and anything on it, including watermarks.

You can then either use a filler polish (something like AG SRP) to mask any fine scratches or, if the paintwork is to a suitable standard, go straight in with the AG EGP. If using a polish first, remember to redo a QD once-over once cured to remove any polish residue or dust.

Apply the EGP gently to an applicator pad and wipe over the surface, ensuring even coverage. Trust me, a little goes a long way with sealers.

Leave it for @ least 30 minutes to an hour to cure properly, and do not apply to hot paint or in direct sunlight. Remove with a microfibre cloth and then apply a decent wax after another application of QD.
