bpsmith Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ok, I have nothing against kids and the missus is currently expecting our first. The thing is that they play football in our street and hit the car all the time with a grit and mud covered ball as the road is only partially tarmac'ed. Is there any Wax or equivalent that will leave a hard enough coating on the car to withstand some of the intial damage with the gritty ball? I currently use the 3 stage Meg's routine after clay bar'ing when needed. I have been advised that Pinnacle Souveran is good on a black car but does not last. Is it hardy enough intiailly though? Cheers Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimtim Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hmmm...kids Unfortunately there is no wax that really will withstand a grity ball. The most durable/tough sealant i know is Klasse Sealant Glaze (up to 12 months protection!) however i doubt its going to stop the initial damage, but may help.

bpsmith Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 It was a sort of rhetorical question that I had to get off my chest! I will take a look at the Klasse stuff as want a long term Wax anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnss8 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 The Souveran is a soft paste you would be better of with a sealant, but it still won't stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I realise that it wont stop it but the better the protection the better. I mean it has to provide an element of resistance? What sealant would you recomend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnss8 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'd go with slimtim and say Klasse but don't forget the preperation 1st or it won't look very good at all Just read you use 3 stage so clay then stage 1 & 2 then sealant then stage 3 the canuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 How about using a really good quality car cover... the german ones that do not scratch and can be put on and taken off really quick ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 That sounds like an excellent idea. The only problem is that the ground the cars are parked on is small pavins that they put down before they tarmac roads. Which means that the cover could hold the smaller stone particles and possibly scratch the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
