How many applications of Quick Sealant per can?

[Performance Auto Detailing]

I know this is one of those questions that there isn't just one answer too but I wanted to get a couple different people's experiences. In your experience how many cars have you been able to do with one can of Quick Sealant? It would be helpful to know for the on the side business I'm starting.

 

Thanks guys!

So far I've done a Honda Civic, Kia Optima, and a VW Routan (2 coats on this one) and there is still a lot left.

[Performance Auto Detailing]

Well that sounds good to me!

[IrishCurse]

I did my Camaro and Quad can Ram twice, motorcycle, and a Jeep Liberty... Also hit multiple sets of wheels on one can. It's one of my favorite products because of how well it works, how easy/quickly it applies, and how far a can goes. Wonderful product, worth every penny and more.

 

Edit: I also fogged every time just as Dylan demonstrates. Some say it goes farther by not fogging, but I've learned to not question that guy.

 

I've got an angled wheel woollie on its way I probably won't use more than once.

Well this is good news. From the looks of the can I wouldn't think it would last that long.

You will be surprised how much surface area you can protect with one little can. Also remember to lay it on thin.

BINGO! I have a thread somewhere that I documented what I coated with one can... I'll see if I can find it. 

 

If you pick up the can it feels unbelievably heavy for the size. The sealant is actually a 2 part reactive product that begins to work with the parts are atomized and introduced to oxygen. In the can they are highly compressed and concentrated, so even though the can is only 10oz it will cover A TON of surface. 

 

Its deceptively sized, most people think its 1 car and done before they use it.

I would say 1-13 typical sized applications.  There is a LOT of goodness packed into that little sucker!

I love the product, I use it on my camper too, makes cleaning it up a breeze. One can has been used to seal the front cap 6 times so far and would guess i have 1/3 left in the can based on weight. From an area perspective that would be 450/ft2 so far with a estimate total coverage nearly 700/ft2 per can. The cap is roughly 75/ft2 of surface area.

 

Not sure if that will help, as you don't have a big flat area on a car or truck.

Looks like I'll be ordering myself some Quick Sealant today 

[IrishCurse]

Make it happen dude.  I have 6 cans... I'm an Adams hoarder, but also, Adams sometimes runs out of the VERY popular aerosol items.  I keep a bench stock, lol.

[Performance Auto Detailing]

Yeah I noticed they were out of in & out and quick sealant for a while.. will be picking both up today. and pushing the button on those wheel woolies too

[WHTEVO]

I also noticed the can was heavier than one would think it would be based on its size. I need to get more at some point. Planning to bring back the three packs soon?

[Slava]

I'm on 8th car and still seems like there's half a can left.

[Performance Auto Detailing]

Just realized I already asked this question a month ago... I must be losing my mind! 

[Captain Slow]

I got my first can a year ago February. I just dropped it's empty carcass in the recycle bin this past weekend. I've lost track of how many uses I got out of that can but it was several cars plus wheels several times. I thought the can was empty last time I used it but managed to do all 4 of the G8's wheels, barrels included last weekend. I also do not fog, I just spray the pad and wipe.

[Performance Auto Detailing]

Yeah I'm curious who all fogs and who doesn't. Dylan did in the demo videos and I usually just follow what he does for the most part

[RonBoy]

I fog for the most part, small areas I will hit with the pad and wipe on.

[SYMAWD]

I usually fog the big panels.

[IrishCurse]

I'm going to continue following Dylan's lead man.  Its not a matter of $$ and trying to save product for me.  If fogging more completely applies the product thus better protecting what I'm detailing, abso-friggin-lutely I'm fogging.  Adam also fogged in the introductory video prior to the release of the product.

[joeybsyc]

The can will last even longer when the spray nozzle pops off and rolls under the workbench for about a week before you crawl under there to take it away from the spiders.  

[IrishCurse]

I don't have that problem anymore, although you have to change behavior to keep it from happening. If altering the product in any way would stop that issue, I'd say heck no, I'll deal with Cap St. Helens.

[Performance Auto Detailing]

Well I don't want to waste product on customer's cars. I'll test it out on my families' cars to see what works. I'll probably just fog the big panels like Matt mentioned. 

 

And yeah Joe I feel you.. crawling around my garage is no fun with all the spiders I have here. 

[IrishCurse]

I'm in NM man... Widows, recluse, and tarantulas... Mighty fine.

Yeah we've got brown recluses and black widows here.  When I first moved to NC we used to keep our shoes in the garage like we did in Florida.. only to find that black widows liked to hang out in them.. that was not a fun day.

Can you use this over paint coatings?
