Hey guys,
Was getting ready to take the GTI for a dyno after having work done on it before track days. Was going to give the car a full detail but with the weather and the race on yesterday I decided against it. So this morning I gave the car a once over.
I had limited time, about 1.5 hours. I ONLY washed, dried, did the tires fast, and applied the sealant. No paint correction at all.
I was quite pleased with this sealant. Applying was ok. I applied by hand, and arm was a bit fatigued at the end. Took about 30 minutes to do the whole car. Had a pleasant wintergreen smell. Removing was a snap. VERY little residue. Will have to see how it holds up over the next few months.
Please let me know if you feel there is something else I could do to make this paint look even better.

That looks great. Has anyone compared DWG vs Danase sealant side by side. Based on the look of those pictures I bet there wouldn`t be much of a difference.

The car looks great and dripping wet. Add some Danase Wet Glaze and it will blow you away. The Danase Sealant is one of those products that doesn`t get enough attention, but I`ve heard that it is a great product. One advantage that it has over all other sealants is the instant cure time, that means you don`t have to wait for 1/2 a day to apply another layer and you don`t have to play chemist mixing a curing additive and shake your arm to death. For that price, you can`t go wrong either. I`ve been thinking of trying it myself.

i agree with the `cure time problem`.
it is a nice sealant with great results and it has great smell too :p

Is this stuff just rebadged Chemical Guys product ?
FS Factory Sealant
I`ve used mseal on mine and the looks are similar. glossy and wet.
cant expect much in terms of depth.
might be a good idea to layer a carnuaba on top , perhaps the 50/50

Bob worked with Chemical Guys to come up with his own custom blends. Chemical Guys will do this for about any detailer supply retailer. There is (or atleast used to be) information about contacting them to custom blend your own products.

Well, that`s the story they are telling Bob. Do you really think they are making special runs for each order from each private label they are selling to?

I was unaware of the cure time. Will have to apply another coat with DWG X2 inbetween. Should I be worried about the DWG muting the metallic?

Well, if they are not, then they would be committing fraud telling Bob they are giving him his product by his specifications when it really is not. Are you saying Chemical Guys does this?
This is a service Chemical Guys provides, same as Four Star, who do you think makes Ultima and PolyCharger for David? Answer - Four Star, look on the package. It would be impossible for guys like Bob or David to go out build or rent a plant and buy the equipment needed to blend their products. It is more feasible to hire someone who already has the equipment to blend your products for you.
