Fellow Beyond member and I waxed up the 'ol rides with the XPEL sealant. Turned out rather good and little effort.

Enjoy the pics.

GTR is a '14 bone stock. S4 is a '13 with STASIS stage II 400hp+, Intake, wheels (Unsure of maker).

Maybe the S4 Owner will chime in.

I've been contemplating a good waxing/polishing session for my car but never have the damn time!

Btw, waiting for the pics.

The stuff we used was super easy. One guy applied it and the other followed about 2 minutes later with a dry microfiber cloth. Took just over an hour for both cars.

Hmm...wouldn't mind a brief write up or some information as to what exactly needs to be done. The product and procedure etc. Cars are looking nice and shiny.:thumbsup:

This wax is formulated for the XPEL clear bra (or so they say). Anyway we applied it in a thin coat with a sponge, circular motions.

Other guy buffed it out by hand with a microfiber. Very simple.

Simplest form of waxing any car. That's all it needs for the XPEL.

For straight paint there may be other steps I'm unfamiliar with.

Oh so your whole car has 3m? Then things might be a little different for me as I only have it on the front end.

Apply, buff off. It's simple like that.

Of course products will come in different forms (carnauba, sealant, coating; paste or liquid), have different applicator recommendations (hand, pad, machine), and sit times, just read the instructions.

Stay out of the sun.

Thanks man! I'm super happy with it.
I've launched it 9 times so far. :eek:

Best to date was 1.06G. As you launch it more on the same surface back to back the computer learns the surface and modulates the parameters. It's quite a machine.
