Chemical Guys JetSeal Matte Sealant WAC_203_16 (16 oz)

This product works well. It’s too bad some reviews are negative, I think the product was not used properly in those cases.

After applying to a clean car, you have to let it set for 20 minutes. During that period, it looks like a smeary haze, which is stressful when you are worried about getting it back off.

But then you buff it out with a microfiber towel and it goes back to a matte finish. Going over it with their detailed spray at the end works out any inconsistencies in the finish.

You can tell that the surface is much slicker and that it will be harder for dirt and grime to stick.

Only 2 complaints, very hard to buff off and it leaves streakes on vinyl warp. Factory matte paint turns out beautifully.

Very hard to buff off and to buff out evenly, which mean that the product really bonds well onto the paint? I have to use their Chemical Guys meticulous matte detailer & spray sealant to buff out this product. After, the result is stunning.

But on the other side, it is a different story on vinyl wrap. It is factory vinyl wrap and factory matte paint on my vehicle. I can not even buff out this product with their spray and it would leave even more streaks on the vinyl. I have to use rubbing alcohol to take the streaks out on the vinyl. Look for other sealant products for vinyl warps. I would give it a 3.9 stars, will see how it would hold up.

This stuff will leave streaks and make your paint look terrible! I’ve contacted the company twice, with no solution so far!

I had a very expensive and beautiful faded black to charcoal to silver matte paint job done this past summer. After the paint manufacturers recommended cure time had passed I washed the vehicle with “Meticulous Matte Auto Wash” and applied the “JetSeal Matte” per the instructions. Now the paint looks horrible with milky swirls and streaks, like a bad wax job! I have tried washing it off many, many, many times, lightly buffing , all with no results. It seems permanently adhered to the paint. It looks horrible!

So I contacted Chemical Guys customer service through email, receiving: we are closed for the weekend.. and will respond in 24 hours from Monday. I waited the 24 hours, then another 24 but no response so I sent another e-mail. They finally asked for pictures, which I took and sent immediately. I haven’t heard anything, not even a “thanks for the pictures,” not a “we are working on it,” absolutely NOTHING! It’s “[email protected], I guess CUSTOMER SERVICE is a misnomer.

Bought a new car with a dark matte finish and was told do not use any normal wax on the finish otherwise will lead to shiny spots. Found this product and it works well. Does not alter the appearance of the matte finish and leaves no swirls. If you have a matte finish don’t hesitate to buy this product.

I applied it exactly as recommended left it 20 minutes sharp after wiping it off the shock happened Left white steaks all over !

Applied it in Sept 2022 to my 2015 Harley SGS in matte black. Looks awesome, perfect matte finish restored.

I was so happy to get around to it that applied it like a total retard, quick and messy. I applied to whole bike, so it dried a lot longer than the recommended 20 minutes. So it was a little hard to get off. I did not use any detailer to remove the sealer. I just used extra micro fiber cloths, and it shined up great.

I did apply it to cool bike in the evening shade, still about 85 ambient temp.

After I completed it, I read the reviews. I’m not sure what conditions resulted in other bad reviews. I will recommend this product.

There’s so many bad reviews on this product and I was very careful when using. First I started with a test patch on the lip of my rear bumper as that’s covered up by the boot lid. I first cleaned the car and dried then applied with a sponge applicator. During the test it left no shine on the car left my grey matte. The second thing I noticed was leaving it on for the 20 mins before wiping still allowed the product to wipe off ok. On applying to the whole car it was quite hot and when removing after getting half way around it was a little harder to remove but with a spray of Chem guy detailer it came off fine. There’s so many bad reviews for product and I can only imagine they’re applying it too think and leaving it too long.

Always do a test patch!
