Hi all,

I have a new car, and wanting to "protect" it as long as possible.

I don't mind too much about "color enhancement" that carnauba does... more into "longest lasting" protection.

1) Lasts the longest between re-applications (1-2x per year)
2) Longest durability (harder to remove between washes)
3) Hydrophobic properties (ehh... don't care too much)

** I have a TON of Meguiars Xpress Synthetic wax to use (2 gallons)
** I plan on waterless wash my car 1-2x per month

So... which synthetic sealant do you think will last the longest between applications?


EDIT
Oops... forgot to add "Adams Paint Sealant" to the poll!

Since you already have 2 gallons of D156, I'd go with Meguiars UFF.
It's Meguiars longest lasting sealant. And it plays great with D156 as a booster.
Best of all, it's only $11 a bottle and that includes a meguiars MF towel for application too.

How resilient is 105 or 111 to water spotting and bird bombs?
Click to expand...

Put 601 and 105 on in Feb. this year. Have not washed the car at all. No water spots at all, After a hard rain my car looks like I just washed and waxed it. Bird Bombs don't stand a chance. My car sits outside 24/7 and still beading water. I'm liking the 105 better than 111. 111 leaves my car looking like it is plastic coated. I prefer a deep glossy finish.

I feel like on my vehicles all of the top products mentioned duragloss, collinite, PBMG produts, I only get a month or two max. My new favorite option is to use a coating once per year, and use the new Sio2 Blue wash and spray every time I wash. Great value if you buy the gallon, and makes washing the car (even when its hard to find a coin op because of winter temperatures) a breeze. The problem I have now is idk whats working better...the Sio2 or the coating??? Not sure, but the combo is working for me.

I've only used WG and will regularly refresh with WG DG spray seal. This winter I went Collinite 845. So far so good but our winter season is weak
 
I just replaced the 601/111 combo with 601/Wolfgang Sealant 3.0. I have a bunch of Wolfgang Fuzion (remember the shipment that froze so many years ago and you could buy it for 50% off?). I need to use it up and will use it as a topper every other wash or so.

Use 111 if you like a very shiny/plastic look.
Use the Wolfgang for a more neutral look with depth.

This was on a 2018 Camry (Wind Chill Pearl). I'm not sure that the 111 stood up very well to my 8000 mile trip around the USA. I did hit a 4 day stretch of very heavy rain and when I got to CT my white car was basically brown. Tough to clean. Limped on to Florida and eventually home on OCW.
 
1. Fusso Coat 99 (if you haven't tried this, you really should)
2. Rejex - best protection against bird bombs.
 
In OPs case Ultimate Wax or UFF since they play very well together.

In general 845. It is almost as effortless as a spray wax. The solvents also do a great job at cleaning paint up a bit. Removal is ridiculously easy too. Also looks good on plastic trim.

There are others that last a little longer but are more effort and don't protect nearly as well. Zaino for example beads 6 months no problem. Problem is it doesn't protect against much.

Just wondering. Did you mix the 601/ Wolfgang 3.0? Or just put a layer of 601 down before the WGDGS?

I mixed it at a 1:4 ratio with DG 105 recently when I was doing one of my In-Laws cars. Worked really well. Just wonder how it or would work mixed with WG. Might be better off just laying a layer down first.

I put down a layer of the 601 first and that is what I did when I used it with the 111 too. I have never tried to mix it.

I'm liking the WG so far. It really makes the "Pearl" pop.

I did a wash this weekend and added a coat of the Fuzion. I'm not sure that the Fuzion added anything looks wise but my car is white.

When I use the Fuzion on my wife's red Toyota Celica it really looks good!

Good luck with your project.

I am no expert but I have used Rejex and it has good durability compared to some of the OTC products that I`ve used. I look forward to trying Wolfgang Deep Gloss
 
Does Rejex still stain trim? I used it many years ago and dropped it for that reason. Durability and sickness were very good.

I've used both and agree 100%. The 111 is also way easier to apply compared to 105. When it comes to nasty winter durability, Z-2 is still the longest lasting sealant I've used but I'm sticking with the 111/601 combo for now.

I used the 111/601 combo on my wifes Rav4 and it is still beading on the lower door panel after a year.

I mixed the 601 with WGDGPS 3.0 on my parents and in laws cars. I'll keep an eye on them to see how long they last but they never wash their cars so it may be a waste of time.
