Sealant for Daily Driver

[Tkitch92]

So I now have the Paint Sealant and the H2o Guard and Gloss. I have always used waxes before but now It just seems like I don't really need to apply a wax anymore on my daily driver. Do you guys think that applying the paint sealant, then just maintaining that with the H2o G&G is good enough? I don't really care about having a crazy shine on my daily driver but I just want it to have the best protection it can have. Thanks!

It is definitely good enough on a daily driver. There is no reason to use wax anymore except for ultimate shine. And you will still be impressed with the shine, especially from the HGG.

The answer is YES.

 

However, even Daily Drivers can be treated to a nice carnauba paste wax on top of the sealants for some extra gloss and depth.

My daily get Paint sealant year round (usually 2-3 applications total) and in the summer gets buttery wax every week to two weeks and then durring the winter gets coats of H20 both on top of the paint sealant.

Piggybacking Dan - Sealant + GG for maintenance is really all you need. If you want to "throw a coat" on top periodically, go for it. My choice is Americana, especially the new formula.

A nice coat of carnuba is always good protection for bird poop and tree sap

^{In the past I was using LPS followed by Buttery Wax.  They both are easy to apply and remove.  This year I just went with LPS and my cars look great without the Buttery Wax follow up/}

Sounds like a great plan Tyler, our PS is best protection we have. I do the exact process to my DD's.

To echo what others have stated already, LPS + HGG for a DD is plenty protection.

 

Bear in mind that to maxlmize the durability and performance of the LPS, it should be applied directly to the clearcoat or paint surface. The best way to ensure this happens is to wash, then clay your entire vehicle. Then apply the sealant in a very light coat. Wait for it to haze, then hand polish with a heavy-knap microfiber (the double softs are my favorite). That's it.

 

Another tip: A very tiny bit of Adam's Liquid Paint Sealant goes a long way. If you can actually see the sealant immediately after applying it, you're using too much. You shouldn't see it until it hazes over.
