So looking for suggestions on a sealant that will last long I'm high desert heat, be able to be applied and cure in direct sunlight in over 100° weather and still come off effortlessly. What do you guys suggest?? I'm more worried more about overall Paint protection then shine.

Cruz...I don’t know about 100 degree temps but when I used Menzerna’s Power Lock Sealant it was easily removable in 88 degrees in the Chicagoland area and even when I used Colinite 845 and if I had a problem a very light spray of Meguiars D156 assisted the removal of the 845, let us know what you get and how the application and removal goes
 
Sonus Ion is the easiest removing sealant I've used, but not the longest lasting. It needs some drying time, but once it does it wipes off with no buffing. I got ~4 months out of it with rain almost every day.
 
I would think a sealant that goes on super thin like maybe DG111 would be easy to apply and remove in direct sun.
 
Menzerna Powerlok has always been an easy to use sealant. Of course, you could use Opti-Seal as a drying aid or after which would be really easy to apply.

HUMP
 
I've been looking at all these great suggestions and so far I have dg111 in the cart. Since it's 25% off today

So I have been considering this but the reviews on longevity have not been there best and from what I've read waterspot removal is a pain

Finish Kare 1000 is what I'm looking at in SoCal. I tried it once on part of a vehicle but lost track of how it did. Next summer I'll probably give it a bigger shot.

It has had a lot of positive comments on its longevity in hot weather areas in past threads.

I'm also in socal and have used fk1000 but wasn't the happiest with it. I think it's because I didn't let it cure long enough. I'm getting dg111 and I'll put it up against fk1000 on a buddies daily never washed driver and see how they far

I don't consider a "daily never washed driver"
a very good test-bed for any LSP.

I like to use it as a worst case, and then sometimes do the same to my card which are washed regularly and compare the results and then when I speak to clients I can say, "in our area you are looking anywhere from x-xx amount of durability depending on how you maintain it"

McKee's 37 High Def Paint Sealant:

Long durability and looks great. Apply to entire vehicle and let cure for as long as possible before removing. I let it sit in the garage overnight and then remove.

Griots Garage Liquid Gloss Poly Wax:

Also long durability and great gloss. Same application method, but the Griots product will not stain trim and the Mckee's product is more prone to this.

Both products are excellent examples of the best products on the market for synthetic paint sealants.
 
I have hi def and I'm running it in a test now. I normally let it sit for an HR in the sun before removing
