    where crystal seal ruled.

    the xterra roof is a PITA to keep clean. being on vacation this week, the xterra got a lot of attention. after the roof was clean and dry, i broke out the CS and did the roof. with the help of a ladder and some body contourting. all the plastic and metal up there got sealed. of course the whole vehicle got CS. including the door jambs and wheels. the weather here in PA is going to turn shortly. so glad i had time for a intense detail.

    CS never fails to amaze me. such a easy product to use with flawless results.

    Agreed. Xterra roofs are a PITA. Getting the pollen out of the front part is nearly impossible unless you take the time to remove it.

    Excellent work!

    When you use CS on the wheels, do you spray it directly on the wheels, or just on the applicator? I am concerned about using too much if I spray it directly on the wheel.

    wheels will not take much to seal. prime the applicator with one spritz, then i would use one spritz on each wheel. spread over wheel. done.

    The real CS key for me is multi coats....amazing

    I use a wet foam mini 3 finger applicator for CS and wheels ....followed by microfiber a few hours later....

    I`m glad so many are having such amazing performance with this product. BFCS is loaded with about as much Wet Diamond polymers as you can fit in a solution and still make it usable.

    Do you mean a second coat applied by microfiber, or removing any excess product from the first coat a few hours later.

    THAT is a great idea for the applicator! I need to remember that for my next order.

    Excellent! I have to say this CS works great on wheels! I think I might just do two layers as well.
