I received my shipment of F11 coating paint sealant, and i detailed my 2015 volt premium this afternoon.
It goes on effortlessly, and lasts about 6 months
it is advertised on facebook, and it took me about a week to get it after i placed my order
It can be used on any surface including windows
It acts like rain x if applied to your windows
It makes a slippery surface, and any bugs including love bugs just wipeoff with a damp cloth

My question is what the did the back panel look like after a 1 mile drive ?

I can't make it down the street with without every bit of dirt ended up on on the back of my car. It is so effective, that they no longer run the street sweeper down the roads I often travel!

this pic is after a full day of driving
I used to get that back panel dirty every time I went out
not anymore!!!

here you go!!!
it has been two days since I applied the F11 sealant to my car, and it is doing great
I am at work, and I have about 5 hours left on my shift.

(Second reply... the first one vaporized...)

I'm interesting and will be looking into this deeper, even if only to apply to the back bumper!

I might buzz you back later to see how this plays out.

Meanwhile, my first job is to find a new car wash place. My car had a perfect bumper panel as it was replaced just prior to my purchase (part of how I got a great deal) due to a confirmed extremely minor issue (have copy of repair receipt). I've buffed it once and two washes later, it looks terrible again.

Polymer sealant is great for resisting buildup of any kind. I'm using Wolfgang with the same results. It's about time for a fresh application. What I like about Wolfgang is the polishing step prior to the sealant.

Since you also have a black car, does the pre-wax polish enhancer do well with the hairline scratches or do I still need to perform another step?

I also need to take care of a zillion chips in the hood, but this will be left for when I get my car back from service.

The polish enhancer helps quite a bit, but it isn't that course of a compound - just enough to remove things that have accumulated and a wee bit of oxidation. It's more of a serious cleaner.

You might want to try the swirl remover. I haven't yet but probably will soon since I put the car through a soft cloth car wash regularly.

The sealant does fill swirls and light scratches pretty well. They don't disappear, but in the surface reflections you don't see anything.

(My posts keep getting vaporized! Trying again...

My car is going into the shop tomorrow and that'll give me some time to read up on their faq's and instructions, but it does sound promising.

Thanks for the input!

I just PlastiDip my Silver Topaz 2013 to White. Would it have the same effects?

Welcome.

Polymer sealant on dip? How will you buff it? Did you use the glossifier?

 

[Crimson Volt]

Guess I'll go with the Dip Coat Protective Spray as getting some more coating. What caught my attention with the F11 was the 6 months of protection but the DCPS may last that long too.

I see that has been discontinued but I have used several 3M compounds years ago and they worked great. For example, the Alcoas on my old Sub still looks great, of course I don't have clear coats to deal with there!

Thanks for reminding me about 3M Pro products!

3M: A blue chip company. Yes, that was a pun.

Try opti-seal, stuff is no joke: http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-seal.html
but if you want super long results use opti coat http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-coat.html
Its basically another layer of clear. If you know what you're doing, do it yourself, but if you don't you'll have to pay quite a bit to get a detailer to prepare your car and coat it.

Opti-coat is what we used on my Volt. I had a detail shop do a 'new car paint correction', which it really needed, then Opti-coat the car. It still looks great over a year later. Supposed to last another year.

Does this provide protection from the hairline webbing scratches from the car wash?

 

[2015 volt]

I just took these pics, it has been 5 day's since I treated my volt

It is the first time I've tried Opti-Coat, and my Volt has not seen a car wash yet. So I can't answer first hand. My detail guy loves the stuff.
