It has been awhile since I purchased a sealant. The last one that I purchased was Blackfire Wet Diamond which I thought worked fairly well but I'm out of it now.

I've read a lot of good things about Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and am thinking about giving it a try. Does it fit my specified criteria? This will primarily be used on our daily drivers.

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish also has some appeal due to the extreme ease of application (seems to be the leader in that category?).

Open to any and all recommendations and would love to know your preferred method of application for whatever product you recommend.

Thanks for your help.

I think you would be better off with Mckees High Def paint sealant. It's a newer techology and I think a better finish. They sell a small bottle
 
Duragloss 111.

Old tech that seems to be destroying the newer sealants.
 
I'll second both WDGPS and the 111

I've also had excellent results with FK 1000P and Duragloss 111.

Menzerna Powerlock is a good one to look into. Jescar Powerlock is the same product too.
 
Sonax Polymer Net Shield.

Super easy and fast to apply by hand and easily lasts 6 plus months with neglect.

Sonax Polymer Net Shield, sonax polymer netshield, sonax profiline polymer netshield

If you choose to make it last longer top it off after every other wash with this:

SONAX Brilliant Shine Detailer, quick detailer, detail spray

and wash with this:

SONAX Gloss Shampoo Concentrate, concentrated auto shampoo, car shampoo, car wash, Sonax auto wash

Wait till AG has a 25% off sale, they have them all the time.

Any of Sonax PNS, FK1000p, or DG111 would be my choices. These are listed in order of high hydrophobic properties to least. I enjoy DG111 simply because I am
Always putting a topper spray on the car. It’s ease of use is great. If you are not topping you can just put PNS or FK. Both of them are great self cleaning. PNS is great but a little granny on the surface. FK is by far one of the best values on the market. That tin will last you forever. But it will stain trim unlike the other 2.

What about Collinite 845 for daily drivers?
 
Another vote for McKees HiDef....great finish, excellent durability

Thank you for the recommendations. Is there a specific topper wax that you prefer after using Sonax PNS?

That would be the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer I referenced above. Stay within the family of Sonax for synergy. The shampoo works great revitalizing PNS too.
 
I'll toss in alongside RSurfer for good ole Coll 845. I've seen incredible durability on the wife's DD that sits outside 24/7.

Agreed. And 476 is even more of a beast for longevity.
 
Haven’t use Sonax PNS but hear nothing but great things. I use to use meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish....great stuff. Looks good 3-5 months real world durability.

I would recommend looking into the sio2 sealants. Costly but Kamikaze Over coat and PA cosmic are what I’m currently using and by far best stuff I have used. I have a coating currently but used both on bare paint before and beating and water shedding can’t be beat. Water would literally jump off the car

If not wanting to spend a lot I had great luck with Shine Supply Clutch. Was my go to for awhile before I got into this boutique toppers. It has great looks and hydrophobic properties.

I’m one of the few and don’t know if anyone else hAs tried version 2.... but have nothing but good experiences about hydrosilex. Great protection/beading but so so visuals

•Although WDGPS is an excellent Sealant,

-I’m going to also recommend the Sealant
that the below AGO Forum members have
also recommended: Finish Kare 1000P.

It definitely fits your specified criteria!

It says paste wax on the label,
but it is actually a “paste sealant.”
Checks all of your boxes:

Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax
