What do you guys think is the most durable sealent on the market? So far, I've tested Zaino Z-1, Duragloss 105/601 and Col 845. So far, the Z-1 has proven the most durable, by far, on my vehicles. Keep in mind I live in Michigan so I have to deal with winter, salt and lots of car washing. Any other products out there worth trying or should I be trying combinations for max durability?
 
I can't speak from experience but my guess goes to Collinite 845 and Menzerna PL.
 
DG and PL
i have never played with collinite but i hear great things about 845
 
I've used a bunch of different sealants/waxes and for durability, either FK1000 or #845 - two THIN coats of course but they are the longevity kings in my book.
 
I'm looking forward to trying the DG #105 and 501, mixed with #601 this spring as they're the newest DG products I have now, also have Coli #845 but its a wax, not a sealant though, so not sure why its mentioned in this thread.

So Z 1 was more durable than DG and Collonite? Interesting, how much longer did it last?
 
I'm pretty sure OP means Z-2. Z1 was their adhesion product, same as DG PBA 601.

Sorry, I did mean Z-2. I check durability by doing the half & half hood test during winter months. This last time I did 1/3 sections with Z-2, DG 105 and Collinite 845. After 4 months of winter the Z-2 seems to be the only product thats left on the hood. I've done this a few times in the past but this last time I added 845 to the mix because of all the great durability reviews. I'm no expert but I judge a product by how it beads and sheets water after each wash. I'm sure these are all great products but the Z-2 seems like it holds up to winter and frequent washes the best. I'm thinking of trying some other DG products like 101 or 111. For now I'm sticking with Z-2 on my current DD and will use up the 105 and 845 on a couple other vehicles I maintain. Durability is my number one concern so I would still like to find a product more durable then Z-2 if there is such an animal.
 
Most durable sealant for me has been DG 501 and the most durable wax has been Collinite. This is probably why I now use both for my vehicles.
 
Gonna have to order me some Klasse then!!! I'll compare it to the Z-2 when winter rolls around again. Would like to hear from more Klasse users. Is it an easy product to work with???
 
My winter prep consisted of 601/111. followed by 845. Very happy with the results.
 
I was under the impression that 845 was a 'hybrid' and have read of many topping 845 with waxes like Fusion, Souveran, Pete's 53, etc... I'm also aware that there are correct means of topping, and that some products are simply incompatible, but I always thought that issue was related to solvents in select LSPs. Time to do some homework I guess!
 
Which one(s):
-Most durable polymer-sealant? Or:
-Most durable acrylic-sealant?

(OH! So many sealants)...IMO:
You can't go wrong with any of the following:
-Wolfgang DGPS
-Menzerna Power Lock
-The: Klasse "Twins"
-CarLack 68 "Twins"
-Jeff Werkstatt
-Rejex
-Duragloss
-Meg's 21 2.0
-C Magic :D

-And of course you stated that you already know about the "Z" prowess...
[It is said to be the only sealant that isn't 'silicone-based' and can be successfully layered.
(Perhaps this pertains to it's "cousin" Duragloss as well?)]


Note to self:
Someday, I must try me some of that "Z"-product line-up.
