Hi,
So I've got a S3 Sportback in Glacier White on order which is due to arrive middle of May. I'm just looking at which products I need to buy to protect it. The dealer knows not to touch the car so I'll be detailing it when it arrives. I already have the stuff to de-tar, remove fallout, clay and polish (da) the paintwork, but the stuff I have available is for a black car. I have the full blackfire over wet ice kit but need something more suited to white. The last two cars have been black so everything I have is aimed at that.
The research I've done so far suggests a sealant over wax and I've a few suggestions but nothing very recent, so I was just wondering if there was some up to date information.
The problem I have is the car will be detailed outside as I don't have access to a garage or covered area, so this limits my use of proper quality sealants. I unfortunately don't have the spare cash for a full detail so I'll have to do it myself.
I've been recommended the Carlack kit but this seems quite old, some say it's easy others say it can be a pain. Bristle Hound seems to recommend the Sonax Hybrid NPT stuff topped with BSD, not tried it so was wondering if anyone else had? I've seen cquartz UK which looks like it could be done outside as the curing time is only an hour it would seem, is it any good?
I want the best finish I can get as white will always look a bit flat compared to a dark colour, so any depth to the paint would be welcome (hope that makes sense).
Thanks for any help or advice, it's appreciated.
