Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)

[Eldorado2k]

The Speed/476 combo only lasts you for two months?

Either the desert environment is that harsh, or I am missing something.

No desert here on Eastern Long Island, but we have high humidity, freezing cold temperatures, road salt, and sleet/rain mixes during the winter months.

I have never seen less than 8-9 months of protection with this combo.

My guess is that HD Speeds weak layer of protection is interfering with the Colinites ability to properly bond, resulting in a shorter lifespan.

Sorry, but I don't buy that a sealant will last for years. (Even a coating for that matter)

Also, the linking of that product that is not sold by AutoGeek is against the forum rules. :rulez:

Strange how the member just joined, only has 2 post and has a direct link to a "last years" sealant. I'm totally going to throw my money at it...

It will last for years if you hand wash your car. My father in-law bought a ford ranger in the early 90s
And put this sealant on and his truck looked freshly waxed for 11 years which is hard for me to
Believe also cause he doesn’t have the truck anymore,I never saw it but he doesn’t have any reason
To lie to me. I looked into the product and Jewelultra manufactures their own products for the last
25 years. Take it or leave it but my f150 looks great

Again, I am sorry.

But this forum is managed by probably the most product-rich detailing supply company on the planet.

In addition, they employ a man named Mike Phillips. He knows just a tad more than anyone else. (Sarcastic Understatement).

If the product you are touting was what you claim, Mike (or others here) would have already given us the heads-up. They have not.

Could I possibly be wrong? Sure.

But this does not change the fact that you are breaking the forum rules by linking to this product. And on Amazon as well.

Please give the forum rules a quick read...........

Duragloss sealants any of these 111, 105, 501 +601

Exactly what I was thinking too. I can't see why you'd want a layer of anything with less longevity than your LSP under your LSP.

Hard for us to believe too. Extreme claims require extreme evidence. Other than your opinion of your car and your dad's truck, what evidence do you have? How can you know the product is still there?

How are you washing your car? What wash product? Anything else every applied? How much beading or sheeting action is the sealant showing?

If you want to see how it performs, try something like this: polish one panel of your car and divide it into 3 sections. Apply your magical product to one third, Sonax PNS to another section, and leave the last 1/3 with no product. Get back to us in 6 months with a video of water sheeting on these 3 sections.

Sounds like an interesting experiment, if you decide to do it, then let me know

I'd put Power Lock up against anything in that poll. I'm surprised it's not one of the options.

 

[Cruzscarwash]

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned. Collinite 476, 845, Polish Angel Master Sealant, Soft 99 Fusso Coat (Epic water behavior, durability and starting to get cheaper in the states) Prima Epic ( I have personally had 7 months with 2 coats before it started to fail with proper maintenance and detailer spray toppers. I'm sure there is more.
It all depends what you are looking for there are always trade offs but they are becoming less and less with the introduction of Si02, Ti02 into traditional wax and sealant formats. If you wants tons of Gloss and Durability and can handle the one time cost of admission including upkeep products, the stringent guidelines for install get a coating. If you want easy do it anywhere durability no special tools needed get a traditional sealant or a heavy hitter wax like 476. If you want something with the look of a great wax or sealant but 1/2 or slightly less durability of a coating grab a hybrid wax or a coating sealant. They are expensive up front but you will be able to use them longer because the shelf life is longer then a coating. You can look into TAC Systems Moonlight, Jays Wax Ceramic, Angel Wax Enigma, Fireball Fusion, Kamikaze Infinity, In2Detailing Ceramic, Wax Planet: Oblivion and Shield of Dreams V2, WaxAddict: Quartz, Kudos and Vortex, Edition 21, Power Maxed Tsunami. Some of them can be had in panel pots which allows you for a test drive ( I don't know of any coating to be had for a test drive.) yes some panel pots are expensive but some can do a small sedan twice. Many of these will be hard to find in the states but shipping from some of the UK companies is not always expensive or they flat rate you a high price. I think Wax Planet is reasonable on shippiing. You would have to send emails and get prices to make sure there are no hidden export fees.

U know I now live in Japan and can't find fusso coat anywhere and have to order it online to get it but when I did, it didn't last very long here in Japan. I got maybe 6 weeks out of it.

We would love to see some pictures from the first day he applied the product, all through the next 11 years.
For me, I like Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I can get about 5 months out of it. I use Wolfgang Uber for rinseless washes and as a drying aid and it seems to help.

Never underestimate the power of steam. I’m not a pro. Just a weekend warrior. And even a cheap steamer does the job for me.
My car mats take a beating every winter not being able to pull out the pressure washer.

Busted out some Purple power with the little steamer and they turned out great.

Finished them off with DG 253 to help the cleaning down the road. That little steamer has done such a good job for me over the years.

wet/dry vacuum compare

In your signature line, there's an outside link to a website that compared wet/dry vacuums?

Looks like SPAM to me?

What say you?


:dunno:

duragloss 105/601 combo is hands-down the most durable sealant you can buy from market. if you really follow the instructions and combo 105 with 601 perfectly you will get close to a year. I don't think any other sealant comes near to that point. some coatings, although claimed to last up to 1 year or so, even fail earlier than 105/601.

However, if you use 105 alone, at least to me, it seems the longevity is quite compromised. I will say a few months, which is still impressive.

I'm seeing similar results with just #111... on my daughter's Kia Sportage. After 4 months the beading is still very strong. I plan to apply the #601/#111 combo over the spring.

I used #111/#601 on my wife’s RAV4 and it lasted at least a year, more on horizontal panels, but it is garage kept.

xInfinity on the DG 111/601 combo. I have seen it last a year. Amazing stuff, very easy to work with (can mix them, and apply with a DA). It's why I haven't ventured into ceramic coatings yet.

I sure wish Carole Baskin would come out with a sealant!!!!
