Introduction:
Liquid sealants are nothing new. They have been around for years. What is new is the addition of Si02. Think of this as an Uber WDGPS 3.0 on gloss steroids!

Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant is an enhanced SiO2 formulated paint sealant that creates a durable layer of hydrophobic protection. This hydrophobic protection allows for water sheeting, extreme gloss, slickness and durability. The properties of Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant even promote self-cleaning abilities. With protection against the damaging effects of any environmental contaminants, Wolfgang SiO2 Sealant give you months of shine and protection with just one application!


Product Description:
Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant provides your car with a layer of protection and durability. This protection comes in the form of hydrophobic capabilities. These hydrophobic properties will allow water to bead and sheet off your car. This is helpful to keep your car clean as water won’t stick to the surface, embedding itself in the paint and creating water spots, especially the water sheeting. Water sheeting can occur no matter if the panel is angled or flat. A surface that is hydrophobic, is also easier to clean.Product Details:




Directions:
-Shake well!
-Apply to a cool surface out of direct sunlight.
-Wash and dry entire vehicle before application.
-Inspect surface condition and decon/polish as needed.
-Use Wolfgang Perfekt Finish Paint Prep or similar to remove any oils that would prevent the paint sealant from properly adhering to the surface.
-Apply Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant onto a foam or microfiber applicator pad and apply to surface, working one panel at a time.
-Allow a cure time of approximately 15-20 minutes before buffing away with a microfiber towel.
-Do not expose surface to moisture for approximately 12 hours after application.

PROS:
Works just like a liquid wax. Easy to use and friendly
Long lasting protection
Ease of application allows to see where you have spread it
Will not leave high spots behind that may need to be polished out
The shine is unreal


CONS:
Can take more effort to remove if applied too thick
May be hard to remove from foam buffing pad

Conclusion:
This is a great LSP for anyone wanting more out of a traditional synthetic LSP without the associated in depth prep work of installing a coating such BlackFire Pro Ceramic coating, CQuartz, GTechniq CSL, Gyeon, ETC.


This product installs just as WDGPS 3.0. One thing to note is we all know how hard it can be to clean a pad that was used for 3.0, so I would only use a foam hand applicator pad and toss out after application.


The Wolfgang Si02 Waterless Wash will be a great maintenance companion.

I echo all of the statements by Mike about Si02 Paint Sealant. I just applied it Saturday and it's truly DGPS on steroids with the glassy look. I did machine apply it but the pad is still soaking in the pad cleaner bucket...maybe it will be more difficult to remove, but for now I'll just have to wait and see.
 
Nice review! Thanks.

Yes sir!

That Audi is looking nice! Well done.

I couldnt believe the look after being applied. Really is icing on the cake!

Let us know how it goes when cleaning the pad.

I just used this over the weekend as well. I applied it using a DA and a finishing pad, and had zero issues removing it. Gloss and slickness are outstanding....can not wait to see how it holds up.

Nice looking finish on the older Tundra! Truck looks younger! Next up, headlight restoration. :xyxthumbs:
 
Do you think this product outmatches Fusso Coat in hydrophicity? I'm looking for something to replace Fusso as my sealant for my daily driver I've heard good things about ceramics being able to self clean well. I live in a rural area and my car is ALWAYS covered in dirt. I don't have the time to clean my car more than once a week. I also live in a state that sees salt on the ground from December to March so that's also an issue. Am I better off with this? I love Fusso for it's mind blowing durability (for a sealant) and price per application.

I have no idea as I have not used any Fusso products.

I would try this out and see how you like it. I as well as others are really liking it. So far, so good. Surely one Sealant to have in your arsenal.

What will you be using to maintain? Drying aid?

Mentioned and copied link at the end of my OP.
 
That's it? I have a 9 year old Outlander pushing 185K LOL. I'd take 96K when it was 7 years old.


I figure I've got about 150k more to put on it....gonna save money at my funeral by putting my casket in the back
 
i'm not a coating guy, and like my liquid sealants. This definitely has my attention

This is one that literally anyone can appreciate I think. Megs tried this recently with their ceramic liquid “wax” but given the incredible respect most people have for WG DGPS (compared to Megs liquid sealants I suppose), I think this could be the people’s choice for product of the year.

Or maybe I’m blowing things out of proportion, but thanks for reading anyways.

You surely wont be disappointed. Fantastic product.

I agree. Given the number of people that love WG DGPS, this one surely will earn its spot on the top shelf.
 
so why this over the ceramic spray coating by WG?

I’ve gotten better behavior up front out of the sealant. Better beading, sheeting, and seems a bit more glossy (judging by only small panel applications though).

But, I’ve been torturing my X5 paint by washing a ton and letting it live outside during spring rain season and it seems like heading towards the 7 week point the WG Ceramic Spray is gaining ground. Would it be gaining ground if I wasn’t washing the test area 3-4x a week with what is turning out to be fairly harsh wash soap (Four Star professional series wash shampoo)? Dunno, doubt it. But I needed a way to speed up my testing since I’m doing a full correction in June or July. Products closer to traditional coatings (like WG Ceramic Spray) generally resist harsh chemicals/soaps the best and maybe that’s starting to show. I would say the two products water behavior on my hood are tied now. Sealant started off significantly better.

Overall, I like the sealant more at the 6 week mark.

P.S. - The Four Star soap I’ve been using is assumed harsh by me because it’s beat WG DGPS and PBL Sealant pretty bad in 6 weeks. Granted, no one washes their car as much as I’ve been washing the test areas, but I get 6 months out of DGPS when not torturing it. I received the soap for free and was using it as my glossless soap for the last 1+ year but just recently received Reset and Hyperwash. So the remainder of my testing will play out with better soaps.

thank you. i think this falls in line with what I've known to be a very broad and general rule of thumb, in that the sealants and waxes look nicer and perform better, but dont have the longevity of a coating. If it's hard to tell by the naked eye though, i'd want to try a spray on coating... to this date I haven't been a coating guy as I never felt the effort was worth the reward. the spray on coating game changes things a bit.

I feel the same way.....although that new Dr Beasleys Coating looks interesting too
