Arrow Nanolex Protectional Services- Gleammachine.



Nanolex Professional- a smart surface nanotech forms a clear thin film of tightly packed nano particles that form an extension of the surface.
The particles are up to a 1000 times denser which makes for an ultra durable hard wearing surface.

Sealing a surface with nanotechnology means applying nano-structures onto the surface, these treated surfaces become hydrophobic and therefore highly water repellant, which enables less effort during the cleaning stages and optimum protection to the paintwork, glass, alloys, fabric and trim.



1st up was this brand new Audi A5 Fastback, booked in for a Nanolex Professional application.

Alloys, arches and tyres thoroughly cleaned and de-contaminated,





Paint markings removed from the tyres with my new toy,



Co-Polymer remover applied via the foam lance in 2 applications, 1st application shows it fighting with some current protection from the dealership,



2nd application shows less protection on the surface and more dwell time,



Washed using the normal safe methods,



Some waterspotting removed from under the bonnet using IPA,



Painted areas and gloss trim protected using Nanolex Premium,





Plastics wiped down with 303 aerospace protectant,



Paintwork clayed to remove some factory overspray and spot contaminents,



Paintwork and alloys pre-cleansed using a waterbased cleaner,



No need to wipedown with Isopropanol, but done regardless as a matter of course,



Nanolex Professional V2 applied to 2ft x 2ft sections via a cotton pad,



Residue buffed immediately, constantly turning the Microfibre cloth,



Leaving a deep glossy sheen,





Same process as above completed for the alloys and door shuts,





Grills and plastics protected,



Glass pre-cleansed and sealed using Nanolex Professional glass sealant, left for 5 mins to cure the buffed clear,



Seals fed and conditioned,



Carpets and leather trim protected with Nanolex Fabric and Leather sealant,



Tyres dressed and various other touches completed, the vehicle then left overnight for the sealants to cure,



The following day and weather true to form.















Nissan GTR.

A new purchase but not looking quite so,





Pre-cleansed, followed by a thorough wash using the safe practices,





Transport film adhesive residues removed with Tardis, vehicle de-contaminated,



A few small surface scratches removed via the rotary with a Megs polishing pad and 203s,





Interior given a thorough vacuum and wipedown to trim, screen dispay cleaned using lense cleaner,









Nanowax applied via the DA on a finishing pad,



Worked thoroughly,



Left for 5 mins and buffed clear,



Alloys protected using Nanolex spray sealant, applied, spread using a foam applicator and buffed,



Exhausts polished,



Plastics and rubbers protected,



Carbon floorpan polished and protected,



Glass sealed and other touches completed.

Finished results.

















Thanks for looking, comments welcomed and appreciated.
