I just purchased all of these products over the last couple on months and had just finished detailing 2 cars with these products.

I did a 2010 Black Audi A5 2 weeks ago with all Meguiars products - clay, #205 then #21 using a G110v2(my 3rd buffer - and like it more than my old PC). It came out looking better than new. I also did a 2010 Grey Audi Q5 with - clay, #205 and Menz PO85u and DP Polycoat. It came out looking great.

I then had to redo the trunk and rear quarters of the A5 (bird droppings ). I decided to use Menz Power Lock instead of the Meg #21 and boy what a difference. The car a had better shine and when I washed it last night I could not believe how the water beaded off. The back quarter panels and trunk that I re-did were almost dry after I rinsed them. I have used and own a lot of products and have never seen water shed like this.

I have washed both of Audi's since being detailed and can tell that the Menz sheds water much better that the other products. It has only been 2 weeks but it looks and feels (the smoothness when I wash it) like it was just applied. The Meg seems to have lost some of its water shedding capabilities, mostly on the hood after weeks. The DP so far seems to be holding it own after 2 weeks, we will see after I wash the car this weekend.

I also have tried Collinite, Wolf Gang, 4 Star, Einszett .... all of these products work well for few weeks but seem to break down and quit shedding water. The one stand out of the bunch was Collinite from a durability standpoint. I will let you know how the newer products hold up.
 
I just picked up some DP Poli-Coat. I'd love to see how it holds up to Power Lock.
 
I have some power lock that I havn't used yet. I heard it's alot like BFWT and it's really slick..so we will see
 
Is there anything on the Power lock about waiting for x number of hours before applying a wax?
 
I really like the new DP and Menzerna sealants ... both are nice, DP is surely cost effective, and both seem to offer great looks and ease of use.
 
I just bought a bottle of Menzerna Power lock with my last AG order but have not had the chance to use it yet. Glad to hear good things about it here and I plan to detail my car next week and will be using it then. Can hardly wait

I've recently used DP PoliCoat and Menzerna Power Lock...I'm impressed by both. I have the MPL on a daily driver and it is still very slick after 3 weeks and still has a nice deep, wet shine. IMO, MPL is very comparable to BFWD. I'll probably top the MPL with Fuzion just to try that.
 
Help a rookie out... I've got most of the acronyms down but I haven't run across this one. BFWD?
 
Never mind, I found it. I figured it was a Blackfire product, for some reason I just missed the Wet Diamond on their site the first time.
