Yes I just got a can of quick sealant for the parts of the car I won't be able to apply MSS.

I don't have a garage, and don't know of one I would be able to use, I forgot to add that in my original post. My best option I guess is to apply MSS in the day and make sure the weather forecast is completely clear of rain for the next 24 hours.

Hello, I am considering correcting my paint and applying machine super sealant sometime between now and Sunday. If I apply the MSS and let the car sit overnight to wait for the MSS to cure properly how bad would it be if it rained overnight?

I asked my Mom what she wanted for her birthday and she told me "new mats for my car" so I couldn't just throw the new mats into her dirty neglected car. I did a quick (5 hours total) interior and exterior detail and it came out really nice for being 10 years old with over 125,000 miles. Her daily commute of 25 miles each way through the backwoods of Pennsylvania doesn't help her Lexus at all, dirt roads in some spots, huge bugs, and road salt in the winter. She was completely ecstatic with the results and loved her birthday present!!! I couldn't believe how well the leather interior cleaned up using Adam's Leather Cleaner + Conditioner. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I forgot to bring my camera.

That is snow all over the top in the first picture. He purchased the car in December when he was home for Christmas. He lives in Seattle which had no TT S to even test drive. So the local dealership in PA had a TT S so he figured he would test drive it while he was in, he ended up falling in love with the car and the one they had in stock was exactly what he wanted. An Audi TT S in Glacier white with those specific wheels, black and silver contrast interior and the prestige package. So at Christmas time he ended up purchasing this brand new car and left it at the dealer for 3 months, he could of had it shipped back to Seattle but he wanted to wait until the spring and him and I take a vacation and drive it back cross country to Seattle. So yesterday was the day scheduled to pick up his brand new 17 miles on the odometer Audi TT from the dealership and the salesman while going to gas up the car hits the yellow light pole. Now mind you we have had this trip planned since Christmas, I already have my one way plane ticket back to Pennsylvania from Seattle, we have all the places along the way that we want to see, both of us were really looking forward to the drive. The dealership did offer to 1. Give his money back 2. Order a new car 3. Find the same car in stock at another dealership, trade for that car and give it to him. 4.Fix this car and ship it to him. Option 1. doesn't help because he researched and test drove cars high and low and this is the exact car he wanted. Option 2. is an alright option but ordering a new car from Audi would take 3-4 months which he absolutely doesn't want to wait for. Option 3. The TT S in this color combo and options is very rare, there are no brand new ones available with the same options in the US. There was one in New York State that was close but it had Red/Black interior instead of the silver/black and my brother really didn't like the color. The damage is cosmetic only, so we took the fourth option. We got this in writing from the dealership. 1. They will replace every part that is broken, scraped, or damaged in anyway, not repair or touch up anything but full REPLACEMENT with brand new Audi parts from Germany. I will go down to inspect the panel gaps and paint to make sure everything matches and it is as good as new. 2. They will pay the $1,000+ to ship it to him in Seattle in an enclosed carrier. 3. They will install the front license plate holder which Washington State requires but didn't come equipped on the car because it is a Pennsylvania car. This may seem minor but the front plate holder from Audi is a $350 part which my brother was going to have to purchase but now is thrown in. 4.They will pay for a rental car and all of our gas expenses so that we can still take our cross country trip. (now paid for by them) It's a crap situation anyway you look at it, but he didn't want to order a new car and wait the 3-4 months, there were no exact ones like it to trade for in the US and getting his money back wouldn't help anything as he still needed a car. Taking option four still allows us to take our trip cross country, he gets his brand new car delivered to him with only 20 miles or so on it instead of the 3,000+ miles we would have put on during the trip, the car repaired to like new, and only has to wait 3 extra weeks to get the car instead of 3-4 months he would have had to wait if he ordered a new one. So it sucks, but accidents happen, some might disagree with his decision taking option 4, but he thought it over all day and this is what worked best for him.

Well thanks everyone for the replies, but there is a terrible ending to this story. We were supposed to pick up the Audi TT S today but the Salesman moved it this morning and ran into a yellow light poll. The headlight, bumper, front right quarter panel, hood, and fog light, are either bent, scratched, cracked, or broken. The dealership is paying for all full replacement parts, repairing the car and shipping it to my brother in Seattle when the repairs are complete. They are paying for our gas and a rental car so we are still able to do our cross country vacation. Needless to say my brother is pretty pissed. The first picture is when he bought the car and it was perfect and the next three are pictures taken today of the damage.

I read this before and was in a way asking if this is true or not, "Many sealants are also tough enough to protect the paintwork from minor scuffs, scratches, and stone chips. " If it's not true at all I am going to take your advise and get a leather/vinyl bra for the trip.

My brother just purchased an Audi TT S in Pennsylvania and on this coming Monday he and I are driving it back to Seattle WA where he lives. He wants to get a clear bra 3M or Xpel kit installed but it looks like he will have to wait until we get to Seattle to find a place that has an opening to install the clear bra. I have a bunch of Adam's products and I was wondering if I apply Adam's MSS and Buttery Wax do you think it will offer enough extra protection against stone chips and bugs on our almost 3,000 mile journey? I guess my question is: Exactly how much protection does MSS and Buttery Wax offer? When he gets to Seattle and wants to get some kind of clear bra put on his car all the installers would have to do is remove the wax and super sealant with Dawn dish soap or All Purpose Cleaner, correct? Any help appreciated! Thank you
