i just order my jetseal 109 for my space grey e92. any tips for applying and wiping off? how long should i let it cure and how many applications?
how long do you wait until applying a coat of wax?
any suggestion would be appreciated.

Fminus has suggested in the past, if you can leave it on for 24 hrs... I usually leave it on while I do the interior of my customers cars, and remove it when I am done cleaning the inside, so i guess an hour or so for me...

I only do one coat of jetseal, but I am sure you will here different. I never really saw any benefit of multiple coats of products (jetseal, z2/z5, and DG 105). But I usually put a topper wax on mine and my customers cars.

is it buffed off or just wiped of with a MF towel? is it applied with a damp pad?
do you top it off with the wax right after it is wiped off? or do you wait awhile?

Buff/wipe off with a (dry) MF towel,

i spritz cg speed wipe for the very first time i add jetseal to the applicator.

I immediately (10/15 mins) add my topper wax..

Dont worry, for it is just like wax application. You just wipe on, leave time to bond to the paint, and wipe off.

If you can wait 24 hours and do 2 coats..... hold on to your pants....

sorry, do you mean apply one coat (do not wipe off) then apply 2 coat when? 24hrs? then buff off after 24 hrs.
sorry, just want to get it right the first time. Actually this is the first time applying sleant and wax combo. Just bought my car in Dec 2007 e92 335i space grey.

Thanks

I think he means apply one and wait 12hrs, then wipe off and apply another and wait another 12hrs=24hrs and 2 coats

[tomtom]

i guess it should be indoors not to get dust on it before wiping it down before 2nd coat.

When I did mine over the weekend, I applied the jet seal and let it sit for about 15 minutes after I had finished applying it to the entire car. Then started to remove it with a dry microfiber cloth in the order I applied it (so the seal had probably been sitting for more like 25 mins or so). The directions on the bottle say to let it sit for 20 minutes between applications, so I did that. Then I applied a second coat the same way I did the first one. The second coat came off much easier than the first one. After 20 minutes, I applied a coat of Petes 53. Came out nice.

Yes. All waxing, polishing, and sealing should be done inside.

paul from CG told me to apply it by hand. because if you apply it by machine he says that it "breaks apart the molecules of the sealant" thus, it wont last as long.

Ordered yesterday Chemical Guys: 50/50 Limited Series Concourse paste wax and Chemical Guys: Jet Seal 109. I should test it when it arrives.

Im planning to wash my car. Dry it. no1 layer jetseal then let it dry for 30mins and then another layer n02 and 30min and then im going to apply wax. Should be enough protective.

did you buy the combo kit? It has the 50/50, jetseal, applicators and two microfiber cloths.

Is jetseal really worth the hype? It seems pretty expensive to me and I remember seeing a comparison against collinite on autopia and collinite looked like the clear winner as far as longevity was concerned.

[L~R~G nor cal]

Jetseal is the best sealant on the market.

CG tested it @ 94 degrees non-stop for 6 months and it still held up to the conditions. It was designed and has lived up to all expectations.

Collinite is a wax as Jetseal is a true synthetic sealant.

So as far as I am concerned Collinite is good for a month and Jetseal is good for 6 months. Not to mention Jetseal's protection is far tougher than any wax on the market.

This would be debatable by EVERYONE who has used it!! Ask that question is a more focused detailing forum!! (autopia, ect..)

I am still on the fence with this one...I am using it now on all my customers that get sealant packages. It really has a GREAT shine, Very happy with it!! As for durability, I personally feel that other products last longer (which i personally don't care about too much since I am constantly cleaning) DG105, either zaino's (ect) i feel last longer..

AS for price...take z5 is 8oz for $17....jetseal is $38 16oz so it is pretty much the same! It really is not the expensive compared to the plethora of paste waxes out their!!! (that I can't stop buying...)

What if you just use a slower speed? on their site it says no speed greater than 4.5

Yes to some NO to others. When it comes to detailing you really need to try it first hand. There is no need to argue (not saying that you are ) But detailing is so subjective, you really need to experience it first hand.

Thanks what I learned anyways, my 2 cents.

Nicely put!!

Fminus has not steered me wrong yet!!

Theres been a lot of talk about JS being hyped and under performing on other forums. Im going to try out the products the other members are claiming that are better.

If it really does work better, then Ill start using those, if not, then Ill keep using JS.

There is no incentive for me or them to "convince" anyone of anything. Its whatever makes the end user happy!
