:confused: You mean bare hand as opposed to foam pad applicator and using your arms?

Run the car in, nip up the road and see JPC.  Get a far better job done.

That's dear for lifeshine but its upto the dealer. You can do it cheaper yourself. the lifeshine comes with a guarantee and you will get a kit as well if done thru the dealer. I wouldn't buy one and apply it yourself as the guarantee that comes with it is useless unless applied by a AG trained person. As prev stated a good detailer maybe a better option.

Guys don't ever ever buy a sealant from a dealer!!

They are never applied properly which:

A) means the sealant doesn't protect what it's supposed to be doing
B) there will probably be putting swirls and scratches in the paint
C) it's a huge waste of your money. It costs the dealers about £12-15 quid to apply. It's one of the most profitable items in dealerships these days along with gap insurance and tyre insurance.

I can't talk for all dealerships as I don't know who works in them all but 99% of dealership applied sealants will be a mess.

Aswell as that, I have never ever seen a good job carried out from a dealer when it comes to selants. The most troubling thing is, when I'm rinsing these cars off with dealer applied sealant, they have never beaded or sheeted water.

On top of all that, I have tested these sealants myself to substantiate my claims.
These were applied to a perfect surface and tested alongside the waxes and sealants I use.

Needless to say they were useless!

I was going to bring it home for a clay look for any swirls etc then finish off with some auto balm. Some poorboys wheel seal.

What if anything do you recommend for the interior...
