There was an extensive discussion on this product (CG`s Jetseal 109) and several people mentioned being interested in seeing what jetseal looked like when there was no previous prepwork done.
Well, here it is. All I did was wash and dry my truck, and immediately apply a coat of jetseal with a pc. I let it cure for about 30 minutes or so and then removed with a mf.
I would normally do a light polishing, and/or Klasse AIO prior to any sealant, but to see how this product does completely on its own, I didn`t. The complete process only took about an hour from start to finish.
I noticed that it did actually hide some very minor imperfections, and it almost seemed as if it had a very small amount of oil in it. I noticed this as I was removing it. There was a slight haze left on the finish, which came off very easily with a clean side of the mf. I just kept flipping my towel over after each panel for a final wipe, and it left a near perfect finish.
Again, the filling properties I am referring to is *very* minor, but they are there. It made my finish a lot more wet looking, deep, and also made the metallic flake pop a lot more than it was before.
All that`s left to evaluate is durability, which is *supposed* to be where this product really shines, but only time will tell. I will post back.
Also, the pictures look good enough to show the results, but it actually looks even better in person. I am a little lazy right now and don`t feel like leaving to take some pics, and my driveway is between two houses, so I was fighting shadows.
Another note is that this truck is only 10 weeks old, and this is the very first coat of any kind of protectant it has ever seen. Up to now, it has only been washed which has been around a dozen times or so, and if you would have seen it this morning, you would have thought it was 4 years old it was so filthy!
