I chose not to have plastic protection or any crystal nano liquids applied for many reasons and they have come about from experience being in the motor trade for 38 years, starting as apprentice mechanic, did time in bodyshop, paintshop ( back in the days when we were given a pint of milk each day to counter the effects of the toxic paint at that time) I’ve sold new cars and bought and sold cars while running an MOT service station. I have bought and sold literally thousands of cars and for a long time used to prepare them myself, I saw loads of cars with paint that had obviously never been maintained, faded, fallout, the whole lot, and all it ever took even for the worst car was a wash, sometimes a thinners wipe over, maybe a T-cut on solid reds, then a polish, and with quality cars we would give them a final wax, we would literally polish the profit into them and the paintwork would be restored to as new even on ten year old cars in a matter of hours and that was on cars that had never been maintained paintwork-wise. So to me, as long as I wash the car when its dirty, don’t allow any bird crap to sit on it, and maybe wax it once a year, I know my paint will look exactly the same as paint thats had a £700 sealer job done on it in however many years you wish to judge. Why make out that it is so much easier to wash a treated car? is it REALLY that hard to wash a car that has mere wax on it? don’t think so!!
Just what are you ‘protecting’ your paintwork from? acid x-ray beams from Martians? I bet over 80% of people that spend £700 on a sealant treatment and £1000? on front end clear plastic sell their cars within 3 or 4 years so where is the benefit?
Oh, and this car was my daily driver, had a £100 repaint in 1984 ( receipt to prove for doubters), has done 40000 miles since, has been polished/waxed maybe every other year, has done a few night rallies, and has it been ceramic coated or PPF covered? NO ! its got some stone chips and patina!
No nothing.
No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.
No tackiness.
Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.
Innit?
Had mine done over the weekend, was sceptical at first but have to say I am really pleased with the results come up like glass, and had the interior done for added protection (2 kids)
Dealer washed mine before collection and the paint was not left in a good way, gleaming now though ;o)
I’m hardcore oldskool..
and hasn’t scratched up the uber soft forged rims either! ( fancy buckets,mops, towels, blow driers, who needs em?)
