Paint: products used

Meg Goldclass Shampoo
Meg UCQ and Clay
Meg Ultimate Compound (roof)
Meg Ultimate Polish (rest)
Maxolen PM4 Perfect Perl (sealant)
BMW OEM for Leather, Cockpit

total effort: 8h or 2 days.

was polishing needed?

No, it did add a nice gloss but so does the PM4.
However, the roof had a lot of swirls on it, UC did a great job here getting rid of these.

left before polish, right after.

after Polish (UP)

Maxolen PM4 Perfect Perl (sealant)

very easy to apply, paint after applied smooth as glas, extremely nice "blue-ish" shine.
i did not get the "blue-ish" shine with Meguiars M16 Mirror Glaze.

my opinion is PM4 fits better for this (mineral white) metallic paint sine "blue-ish" shine w/ PM4.

long term review (maxolen pm4 perfect perl)

after 73 days the beading still looks good

after 73 days

quarter panel still ok

front panel ok

after 92 days the beading is still ok, still does its job however the paint is starting to get rough.
as suggested i applied first time Maxolen PM5 over PM4.

front panel, beading OK

hood, sheeting starting to be slow

front bumper - beading ok

(sealant still doing its job, watch in fullscreen)

a kinda "spray sealant"

after applying it

After applying PM5 the paint went smoother, however not as fresh applied PM4 but still OK.

after 101 days (19 december) decided to take off the sealant to see if it still did seal the paint.

after removing the sealant (washed the car with dish soap) the paint was very smooth once again.

after claying it did show good results: no major contaminant in the paint, also no tar spots on the paint etc.

so yes: the product does work. a great product. i re-applied after 4months again with the same result, the sealant did not let trough any dirt.
