supagard

When i bought my sporting a couple of years ago i was given a free "supagard" paint protection by the dealer as compensation for a few teething probs.The only problem is the aftercare paint sealer (a posh and rip of name for polish i recon!) is a toatal bitch to use and not as good as ordinary autoglm products that i use on the wifes gp.Iwas wondering if anyone can tell me if its ok to use the same products on my car or will it damage the supagard?cheers.

Re: supagard

there is a fair chance there is now very little/none at all left on the car its not a magic long lasting sealent as dealers tend to make extravagant claims on it...

if i was you i'd wash the car with a strong TFR mix (traffic film remover) good polish with Autoglym super resin polish should see what ever else is left come off

see here

its not held in high regard anyway and I certainly wouldn't pay for it


then follow it up with either a Good coat of wax or an after market LSP (synthetic sealent)

Or the whole hog a coat of sealant then layer wax on top..

some synthetic sealents..

waxes
i like this

and just use it after polishing without a synthetic sealent.

and get results like this..



hope that helps
