nicely done, where did you get those small 3-4 oz sprayer bottles that you showed me last time, the ones in case of bird droppings? I was thinking marukai in gardena might have them

looks unreal but how do you know the SV Concourso is staying on? you have jetseal 109 under it so how could it bond? didn't you just basically waste the SV?

Hey Saigon

Did that Hurry Curry do anything to you btw? Man...the shit it gave me that night gave me shivers all night long

Detailed Image Pump Spray Bottle

If you are looking for something more OTC, I would suggest you look at some beauty supply stores, or FMINUS!

The Analogy

You have a dusty wooden table (dirty car)
You blow off the dust, and clean the table surface (prep)
You put a protective plastic layer on top of the surface (sealant)
You put some stickers on it for decoration (wax)

Science and Methodology

Jetseal has acrylic properties which facilitates fast drying and bonding. The acrylic crystalline used in Jetseal allows for bonding at the molecular level. The marketing vanatage suggests that such a development creates a long lasting sealant. You are correct that the SW is bonding to the sealant, and not the paint. However, generally sealants out-last waxes, this case particularly so.

This is also why many people top Z5/Z2pro with a layer of carnauba wax. It's usually ok because the wax will be gone and the Z5/Z2pro will remain, and they will continue to layer their car with more Z5/Z2. Topping wax with sealant is therefore pointless, unless it is some sort of temporary special look that someone is trying to achieve.

Hype

A lot of detailing is hype. But such is the nature of supply and demand. Some customers expect you to use a foam cannon that makes the process look fancy and neat or a super expensive wax.

Other customers only care about the final product and result. Either way, it is usually the detailer's duty to cater to both the needs and desires of the customers. Or, if the detailers do not have the products, they can attempt to convince the customer otherwise.

Being Different

The key to sustainable competitive advantage in this saturated market is product differentiation. Thus, ... wait a second, wtf am I doing. Sorry I went off on a tangent...

I think I started to answer your question but...but...but

Great work and pics. Few questions. Did you leave the jetseal on overnight without wiping it off? Is that an autobrite foam cannon?
