Jetseal 109

Quick question about this stuff....

I put two coats on after a wash+clay, and then since have put some Natty Blue on top. I'm happy with the results, but have heard that the JS isn't very durable and I'll want to reapply it every few months.

Will I need to clay again? What about stripping the existing wax and jetseal with one of the citrus car soaps or Dawn?

If you need to apply another coat, you can strip it with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss.

It may last 6 months but it all depends on how much or how long it's out in the elements.

Sacramento, but close enough. I park in a garage each night and in a parking structure for work. So it only sees the sun or rain on the drive to the kids school and work. 4+ months would fit well with my 3x a year for a serious detail program.

How do you tell it's the JS that wore out, and not the wax on top????

What about the IPA wipedown as an option? That should get eh wax off the top and make the existing JS ready to be covered.
