Default The Incredible Shine & Protection of a $20 Sealant




I think we can all agree that we only want the absolute best wax or sealant for our vehicle, whether it's an award winning show car or a daily driver. However, you don't always have to break the bank to get a great shine and long lasting durable protection when it comes time to protect your vehicle.





Detailer's Pro, a manufacturer of American Made Car Care Products, has been around for more than ten years now and is known for making top performing products at a price that doesn't break the bank. Detailer's Pro literally makes a product for every square inch of your car, inside and out.




If you're familiar with Detailer's Pro Poli-Coat Paint Sealant, you know how easy it is to apply and how it wipes off effortlessly. A little bit of product goes a long way and the sealant is a pleasure to use with a Dual Action Polisher. Poli-Coat also contains a built in bonding agent, which means it self preps the paint. A built in bonding agent maximizes durability of the sealant. Last, but certainly not least, Poli-Coat leaves behind a super slick finish along with an awesome shine.

Poli-Coat was the only product used on this Audi TT to amp up the shine and provide durable protection. No pre-wax polish or high end carnauba wax, just Poli-Coat. The pictures speak for themselves.

















My weapon of choice for applying any wax or sealant is a Porter Cable 7424xp along with a Lake Country 5.5" Hydro-Tech Crimson Finishing Pad. This pad is super soft, but thanks to its closed cell foam core, it's firm enough to withstand added pressure while buffing and keeps most of the product on the face of the pad.










For all the tight spots I always grab a Griot's Garage Mini 3" Polisher. This mini polisher is perfect for polishing A-Pillars and other tight areas where the Porter Cable is too large.








If you're looking for a sealant that provides an excellent shine, ease of use, and doesn't break the bank - Detailer's Pro Poli-Coat Paint Sealant is what you've been looking for.

Man you guys use 2 separate buffers to apple a sealant? Wouldn't it be alot faster to do the tight spots by hand haha?

Nice work nonetheless.

I could walk to work every day, but why do that when I have a car?

I prefer to work smart, not hard.

And that's a good way to promote the small polisher too. Lol

It's one of those tools where you use it once, and you'll wonder how you ever went without it.

Whatever works for you I guess... I'd do it too if my garage was a shop that had 10 buffers plugged in at all times sitting on the shelf. I still prefer doing stuff like bumper opening by hand where that 3 inch buffer will never reach.

10 buffers? Only two were used!

Find whatever works best for you, and do it often.
