I've been pleased with XMT 360 Cleans, Corrects, Seals topped with Optimum Spray Car Wax (OCW).

Since the vehicle is a daily driver and lives outside 24x7, I top with OCW about every three weeks to keep it looking good.
Since OCW is a spray, it's as easy to use as a quick detail spray.

I use the combo on daily drives, and it works very well.

They do, it does get a little confusing. A simple search will bring up hundreds of threads.

There are a lot of great sealants available but lately I've been using some new products to me and have been very impressed.

Remember to at least use a paint cleaner to prepare the finish as most of the POP is dependent on what you do "before" the final protection is applied...rops:

Cleaner - Duragloss 501

Duragloss 601 & 105

Mix 1 part 601 to 4 equal parts 105 in a squeeze bottle. Shake until blended then apply to a freshly prepped surface, let haze, then buff to a gorgeous gloss. I usually mix up 1 ounce of Duragloss 601 and 4 ounces of Duragloss 105 in a plastic squeeze bottel, shake, then use as I would any other sealant...

Duragloss 601 Bonding Agent
Duragloss 105 TPP

Other quality sealants I use and can recommend...

• Menzerna Power Lock
• Prima Hydro Sealant
• Four Star Sealant
• Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant
• Klasse High Gloss Sealant
• Ultima Paint Guard Plus[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

So the two sealants that I've used are the Sonus SFX-4 Paint Sealant w/Polycharger and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. When I used the Sonus sealant I was actually REALLY impressed with it. It really made the flakes in my black 08 Accord EX and my Black 2010 Acura TSX pop. Sonus isn't a brand that gets alot of mention here, but I was really impressed with the SFX line.

Menzerna Power Lock looks better than anything else on my F150, really makes the paint pop.

Too bad I just finished up with some Opti Coat so I don't get to play anymore.

Didn't mean to step on any toes. You take me too seriously. :xyxthumbs:

Poorboy's EX-P+ sealant does an excellent job of making metallic flake pop...afterwards your paint looks like a bowling ball. But, if you have a dark color and a lot of chips in the paint...EX-P+ will dry in these chips as white and are a bear to remove.

Believe it or not this is the reason I don't personally used these types of products more.

I've used Optimum Opti-Coat on others vehicles and even my own wheels but if don't correctly my play time would cease.

Then what would I do with all the great quality products I have on my shelves? :dunno:

No longer the flavor of the month and a bit expensive but Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant would do what you want without question.
