Hi TWD,
just wondering with this Wolfs polish/nano protection is it any different to simply polishing and applying wax/sealant? i.e. is there anything special about there "nano".

just a bit of background: I polish/seal my own car using menzerna and wolf gang sealant and have pretty good results. Water still beads a year later (missed my 6 month detail haha)

Harsh chemicals and scrubbing will no longer be required and cleaning time for your car will be dramatically reduced."
That just sounds like a sealant ?

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with what you're using at the moment.

With the WC Shine & Seal - it's a 2 in 1 product - so it a finishing polish and a sealant. WC thinks this will give around 6 months protection alone.

Nano sealants basically involve ultra small particles that bond to the clear coat to form an additional layer. Because of their size, they can form a stronger/closer bond than regular sealants (eg Wolfgang) and therefore you are left with a more durable protection layer. Also beading/sheeting and gloss levels are enhanced for longer too.
They are harder to apply, but have a tendency to last longer, hence you don't have to reapply as frequently. This is also dependant on storage, usage and maintenance.

Wolf's Chemicals uses real nano technology, rather than some of the other products on the market which have Nano on the label (but aren't really nano sealants).

ok cool thanks guys, I think i will try this stuff out when i runout of my wolf gang.

With regards to applying it to wheels do you apply it to just the outer surface? or do you remove the whole wheel?

If you want to do it properly, remove the wheels, give them a good clean, clay, IPA wipe down then apply a Wheel sealant

Having said that, a lot of people only do the wheel face and outer barrel.
