Black Paint Sealant?

[MFM]

I'm picking up my black S4 B8 tomorrow and one of the first things I want to do is seal the paint.

What are the recommendations for this? I'm looking for a long lasting seal which will protect it for as long as possible, especially since it's black.

Modesta BC03 is excellent although I'm not sure it's available to the public any more.
Migliore Strata Coating is also very good and gives an incredible finish (see their Instagram) States it protects for up to a year but I only applied it a few weeks ago so can't comment on that!
Are you going to be applying it yourself? Most of the glass type sealants/coatings require shelter for a while after applying.

An S4 b8 is quite the investment. I'd consider having it professionally detailed and finished with a GTechniq coating.

Two products I will suggest, 50 Cal Cover up and GTechniq C2 V3 sealant. Brilliant combo on black cars and one of the best I've used.

Even by hand you'll get a shine like this -

Lasts for a good time and get nice bit of beading

Agree with the Gtechniq stuff as well. Great products and last the test of time but not cheap. Just ensure the paint is throughly prepared before you add the sealant.
