I need to say that I have nothing to do with the company. I bought this product at the Atlanta Auto Show in 2007, soon after I took delivery of my G. I was hesitant to buy the thing, but they were selling two bottles(paint sealant and metal gloss) for $10, total, and the demonstration looked promising. As I have stated, I applied the sealant just the one time, and have kept the car clean, and waxed it a couple of times a year. The paint still looks brand new. I recently went to their website, and purchased another bottle, along with their quick detailer. If I remember correctly, the sealant is around $22, plus s/h. As I have about a third of a bottle left from the first time, just the one bottle will be enough to cover the car. I also have a lot of the Metal Gloss left, which I will put on the rims.
The product is Master Formula Sealer Gloss. You asked for a write up, so, if you don't mind the reading, the following is the complete description and directions, taken right off the bottle:
Master Formula Sealer Gloss Protective Sealer waterproofs, protects, and seals any hard surface. It leaves a durable, glossy, protective coating that's easily maintained and lasts up to one full year.(As I said, I've never reapplied it). It is excellent for use on any painted surface. These surfaces include all car, truck and motorcycle finishes such as clear coats, gel coats, plastics, and fiberglass, and is equally excellent on metal surfaces. Great for aluminum, chrome, brass, stainless steel, and more.
DIRECTIONS: Shake thoroughly. Generously apply with a soft, clean cloth.(I use - by hand - a simple wax applicator pad). Allow plenty of time to dry(5 minutes or more), then easily buff to a perfect mirror finish. That's all there is to it! Do not apply to hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. Future removal of road grime, bugs, tar, tree sap, etc. is much easier when the surface is sealed with Master Formula Sealer Gloss. Between washings, be sure to use Master Formula Extreme Gloss Instant Detailer for that beautiful, wet look.(I can't swear to that, since I only just bought the detailer, but will give my opinion of it after I use it on the Q50).
I've often been told that the "paint sealant" that dealers would tack on to the sale for a few hundred dollars, was nothing more than what you could do yourself for much, much less. The only thing I wonder about this product is why it isn't sold in stores. I've only ever seen it on the Internet(and at the car show, of course). I have to assume that they go to many car shows.
I know that it's going to be a hot and painful(I've got a bad back) couple of hours in my garage when the car comes, but it will be worth it. Maybe I'll get up very early the next day so I don't sweat so much.
Luckily, the dealership is only about five minutes away, so a re-wash before application won't be necessary. They know not to apply any wax to the car in their prep. I hope all this helps.
Just thought of it: maybe I should contact the company to see if they want to pay me a commission.
