I have been thinking a lot about sealants lately, and I would love to have these questions answered:
1. I am assuming that most sealants have like a 4-6 month durability. Is that with only 1 coat? Or do you have to layer it 12 hrs apart with 2 coats to get the max durability?
2. If you are a pro detailer, do you use only 1 coat of sealant on your customers cars because of the whole 12 hr cure time between coats and you need to get the car back to the customer ASAP? Or do you keep the car for like 2 days and double up on the coats for them? I'm just curious how you guys handle this...
3. I know this will be subjective, but in your experience, which sealant gives the best durability with only 1 coat (not including the new stuff like opti-coat and cquartz)?
Thanks guys. here's the background behind the questions...I'm really looking for a different sealant to use than the Klasse twins since the SG is such a PITA to remove, and you don't really get that great of a shine after only 1 coat. IMO, SG needed to be applied twice to get a good look on the car. And this is too labor-intensive for a customer's car when you don't want to inconvenience them too badly by keeping their car another day...
