2005 Accord (collinite 845) - 2006 MDX (jetseal) Durability Test

[Dieseldan]

Well I finally had a day off and wanted to do a quick detail on the vehicles. This was not a full detail just a paint prep for the winter months. I originally had souveran on both vehicles but with about 13" of snow the past week it was pretty dead so my process was.

2005 Accord
Wash - ONR 2 bucket
Clay - Blue magic
Polish - Pink Moose White pad @ 5
LSP - Collinite 845
Wheels/windows - Opti seal

2006 MDX
Wash - ONR 2 bucket
Clay - Blue Magic
Polish - Poli Seal white pad @ 5
LSP - Jetseal
Wheels/windows - opti seal

Both vehicles received 2 coats of there chosen LSP to ensure coverage. I am going to moniter each of them to see which one lasts longer in the New England Weather.

I think that measuring a synthetic sealant against a wax, no matter how durable, is still an apples to oranges approach.

this brings me to a question...

Whats the difference between the XMT High Gloss carnauba paste wax and Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba paste wx?

Different in carnauba content?
or?

agreed but it still interesting either way. ## has made alot of diff claims interms of durability and IMO collinite has the rep of being durable so we will see.

I received Jetseal sample and found it to be middle ground. Not super looking, Four-Star, Werkstatt and even Zaino look better. I also noted durability and falloff with a month or so under Florida heat.

The reflective polymers in SSII are one difference, there are some others. Carnaubas are all somewhat similar in base.
