April 8, 20178 yr Looks like everyone has had a good day . I finished off my full 2 stage paint seal today on the new paint. Used a bit of JetSeal as well which seems to be excellent on first impression. Will be using it for the foreseeable polishing off of the rest of the car and additional layers of seal.
