I am on the last few weeks of the curing process of my freshly repainted car. Have stayed away from any kind of wax and sealant. This would be a full 90 days wait. Now I need some recommendations for a sealant and/ or wax. Remembering when I got it done. This very forum helped me to stay away from wax until the out gas took place. I am no professional like some on here but with the help from this forum now I can talk with the best of them.

I really like wolfgangs deep gloss sealant I live in Denver co and it has lasted through the winter on my girlfriends mustang it's a dd and gets neglected to say the least tree sap bugs mag chloride it's taken it all and still beads up.

What waxes and paint sealants have you used in the past?


We're going to use GTechniq this Thursday night on a 2012 Scion, maybe tune in and watch the process and the after results?

Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant. Extreme durability, unmatched paint depth, incredibly easy to work with, insane water beading/sheeting abilities.

It like BFWD, but "extreme" durability is pushing it a bit, I'd think. It lasts about as long as other "beauty" sealants (WGDGPS and HD Poxy) in a side by side test I did, and on my car, was outstripped durability-wise by several other products I've used. Now admittedly, our climate in Manila is a bit harsher than most, so that definitely had an impact on the results I've gotten.

To the OP, any reason why you're looking for a sealant, rather than a wax? And are you more interested in durability, or looks? (Oh, and what color is your car?)

If you are looking for durability with a great shine and easy application I would recommend Meguiar's Synthetic Sealant 2.0. I use it on all of my cars and top it with Collinite #845, a combo you can't beat (in my humble opinion).
 
Is there anything that's OTC to remove a sealant? I want to use my dr colorchip kit and I assume I have to do that before I put on the paint.

Rubbing alcohol. <25% dilution with distilled water. Mineral spirits. Prep-sol. Car-pro eraser. Lots of options.
 
Although i haven't tried other sealants yet i've been more than happy with Menzerna Power Lock. Great durability and easy to apply/remove.
 
Some of my favorite sealants are Menzerna Power Lock, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, BlackFire Wet Diamond
 
Fantastic budget sealants will be Powerlock, DP, and Duragloss.
WGPS and BFWD are a little more money, but also awesome.
