Best Application/Combo for a DD

[SIERRAAZ]

Curious as to what the best combo is for a daily driver? I sometime work at the office all day and the truck does not move, and other times i drive 200+ mile a day. I read quick sealant can last 4-6 month and buttery 1 month and finally the face melt combo 2 month is what i have read. What are your opinions?

Matt,

 

I drive my TBSS daily. I use QS, BG, then APW.

Matt, by your forum name I would think you have a GMC Sierra. If so what year and type? I have a 2013 Sierra Ext. Cab. (black)

Yup. I have a 2012 crew cab. White. Ill try a post a picture of it. How do you like yours?

Matt minimumly you could do a wash then clay,revive then a coat of Americana. With a waterless wash and detail spray in between. I think revive is a very underestimated product. I believe it should be in everyone's arsenal!!!!

i've used both QS and MSS on my DD. both have performed superbly. QS is a bit easier to apply, but if i have my PC out polishing already, i use the MSS.

 

using BG + Americana or Buttery on top of the sealant just adds to the protection... and depth of the reflection!

Very true, Revive does wonders especially on darker colors

Machine Super Sealant --> Wait a few days --> Americana

Mine is somewhat a garage queen... But this 2012 Silvy Ext Cab in Dark Titanium Metallic gets the full treatment whether she's hauling lumber, ladders or sitting in the garage for 2 weeks straight.

 

Now, my 2003 Chevy Express.... It gets reg store car wash and a Costco wash brush, and that's it. It's my paint wagon. I tried to keep it fresh but my crew will never have respect for anything nice.

I go with Machine Super Sealant, Brilliant Glaze and then Americana to finish. Quick sealant on the rims and front end as needed.

[SIERRAAZ]

Awesome. Thanks for all the help/Info!

[mdolandese]

I agree. Super Machine Sealant/Brilliant Glaze/Americana Paste Wax!!!! The best combo out there. My .02[even if it's a DD]

Try Machine SuperWax, then top it off with Americana. You get the best protection of sealant with the warmth of carnauba.

 

Though I have not used this combo, many enthusiasts use this layering method to get the best of both worlds.
