    My thoughts on 3D HD NitroSeal after a few weeks

    Well I have my hood split into 4 sections:

    Far driver side: Gtechicq Exo V2 (2 coats) Been on for about 9 months

    Left Middle 3D HD Nitro Seal Been on for about 1 month

    Right Middle Gtechniq C2V3 (1 coat) Been for about 6 months

    Pass Side Gtechniq C1 (4 layers) Been on for about 9 months


    Living in Western Washington we get some go amount of rain and when I drive in the rain the section with Gtechniq Exo V2 is dry as water shoots of the car since the water does not want to stick. The water starts leaving the car with Exo V2 at about 30-35mph.

    The 2nd fastest section is the Gtechniq C2V3 and water starts to leave the finish at about 40-45mph

    3D HD Nitro Seal and Gtechniq C1 are a Tie for water removal for water leaving only at 60 mph but not completely dry unlike the above 2 mentioned.

    So my thoughts on Nitro Seal:

    So for $60 for 3D HD Nitro Seal and you only get like 2-3 applications with this 2 part sealant/wax system and hoping to get a 1 year of protection, I feel for what I do, it was a complete waste of money. I can buy a 1000ML bottle of Gtechniq C2V3 I can get at 40 or more applications and get better protection that of Nitro Seal plus saving loads of time applying via SOWO and be do with in. I just feel that this product is not the product that I was hoping it would be for what I was looking for when a glass coating was not in the picture on a clients car. This product is best for that person who hase 2 cars and wants to have them better protected then just having wax.

    You know there might be a huge difference in air flow characteristics between 45 mph and 45.75 mph. Need to see the aerodynamics graphed in order to assure identical air flow across these sections of paint. Have you considered using a wind tunnel to document these evaluations? Got to be real science behind this.

    I`m kiddin` of course

    You`ve got guys in white jackets around you? That explains a great deal. I guess there is a Bellevue in Washington also.
