Getting a major bead on #255!

Postby mossy1283 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:50 pm

Thought Id try out Nanolex paint and alloy wheel sealant today, although after application I couldn't just sit around and wait for it to rain, so I sprinkled some water on it to see the results. That gave me the excuse to take her out for a drive to blast the water back off again before she went to bed again. Bit weird I know, but I like it!

Looking good mate,ideally though you should avoid letting the car get wet for 12-24 hours after application (we keep cars overnight when applying any nano coatings :wink: )
Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...

I'll keep that in mind, she's going to get a real deep clean when the weather warms up anyway.

Yeah it's cool, I've been looking into waxes and sealants for a while, even looking at which ones have the highest water bead compared to others. Random I know, but I just stuck with nanolex as I use their windscreen and glass sealant and that's brilliant.

Doesn't Nanolex glass sealant have to be applied at a temperature of 30 degrees C to be effective? Or did you park your 1 in the dope shop at the RNAS to get the job done. Hmmmm so thats how you keep it looking that good eh................... Clark doesn't have those facilities at his disposal. Well done Mossey. :D :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Funny old thing, I put her in the hangar at 845 when a windscreen had been changed on one of the aircraft and they were using halogen lamps to set the PRC. So I obliged and borrowed them for a bit to warm her up! It does have its benefits working here, even with defence cuts! Getting pally with the dope shop too by feeding them up with fruit (they don't take biscuits as standard currency down there, instead they take fruit??)

How things have changed, I tried driving through 845's hangar on a Saturday morning (Ken Block style) at speed but got collared by the SMR and spent the next week on 9's. Mind you, it was in a Hillman Imp :cuckoo:
