Hi group.

Quick question about this new nanoseal stuff i keep seeing.

I have been reading a few websites that polish up the spider webs and then apply a product over the car to seal the finish.

Apparently you are not supposed to polish the car in a convential way, moreover you wash it with an additive and it *stays* like new.

Is this complete snake oil or is there any truth in it???

I am definately interested in the pro polish aspect to remove the car wash swirls (loved the write up about doing a DIY, i looked into buying a PC and i think i could pay someone to do it for the same as it is going to cost me to buy the kit)

Thanks in advance

I don't know about the product your referring to in particular but, alot of the more modern products have been using nano technology for sometime now.... Some companies brag and advertise the fact, others don't.

All the nano particles are mean't to do is help give a more even finish helping to mask or fill any minute imperfections and give a clearer reflection....

Theres mileage in this sort of thing for bodywork purposes to some extent but, things like nanotech tyre dressings and trim detailers etc, *I* think are just using the term and running with it to get people to buy 'the range' so to speak.

If your talking in terms of these long life sealants such as those applied by dealers, any decent sealant will do the same job, last about as long or can be reapplied easily, and will cost a lot less money.

Hope that helps a little .

 

I fully agree with Alex above. Most of the time, the term is used for advertising, and the sealants applied by dealers, DiamondBrite, SupaGard etc, are useless and will come off with one good polish.

If you're talking about firms that use the term, and carry out a full treatment for your car where they apply a tinted resin - then that's up to the owner. I'd never let any process like that near any of my cars though

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I cant remember the name of the company/product but it was very similar to the Diamondbrite product.

Very interested to hear that it can come of so quickly....

I will either invest in a PC and do it myself, or else pay a pro to de-swirl and polish/wax/protect up myself.

Thanks for replies.

Yep - it'll come off with one decent polish by hand...

Good luck in sorting your car - detailing it properly is the only way to the best finish, rather than the 'quick fix' methods.
