Product Review: Wolfgang Si02 Paint Sealant

Finally got to detail the Jeep this weekend with Wolfgang's Si02 Paint Sealant. Impressed doesn't even cover it. I've used a lot of other products but dont picture trying anything else anytime soon. I love it that much. The ease of application and removal for these results is beyond impressive. Even when i was an idiot and let a small section sit for nearly 45 minutes it still buffed right off with no issue.

Unfortunately this vehicle will spend a lot of time in the drive way underneath my towering trees in the yard. I woke up this morning to the usual droplets of sap all over the vehicle. I headed out with a few microfibers and the Si02 waterless wash and was rewarded with paint that felt just as good if not better than yesterday.

Having a terrible time figuring out pictures here... sorry for the link.

So do you guys think this will replace WDGPS? I wanna replace mine but might get this instead. How's etching? Does rain water not sheet well like with most ceramics?

I don’t see why this would replace DGPS, I think both can live harmoniously. Haven’t seen any etching. Water sheets off ceramics for me as soon as car is in motion, same with for WG SiO2 PS.

I mean ceramics are supposedly top dogs against sealants but now this is a sealant ceramic, shouldn't it be ahead of standard WDGPS? Make sense?

It makes sense, yes. I just think each company is going to hold on to their trademark sealant. There’s still plenty of people who don’t care about ceramics and prefer the original. That’s all I was trying to say. I love DGPS, but I already like SiO2 PS more.
 
I think both Wolfgang and Blackfire have a few too many similar products in the lineup and it's somewhat confusing.

Definitely a beading action and not a sheeting action. As someone else mentioned if you take a drive the car will be nearly dry in short order. I’ve been easily keeping the Jeep clean with waterless wash which includes the misting of tree sap I get everyday the car sits in the driveway. Lol. Everything wipes away with no effort. Having a white vehicle I also enjoyed driving around in the rain the other day and bringing home a nearly clean and dry car after the rain has stopped. Just had to wipe a couple areas behind the wheels.
 
I did my wrangler a few weeks ago with. I’m impressed. My Tahoe has been done in 3.0 for a few years now and it is also impressive but the sio2 really does a great job of sheeting water and dirt right off!
 
What is everyone using for a drying aid and QD? Since I have no real shade for washing a drying aid/wipe-down product is needed after a wash. There is also the ever present threat of birds to deal with and other little clean up jobs needing a QD.

I'm thinking of using this as the LSP on my car to do a winter torture test. I have Kenotek Showroom Shine, Ech2O, and Elixr on hand already. I don't think Elixr would be a good candidate since I've found it to be more of a CURE like product than an actual QD spray. Either of the other two should probably work, but you never know. Something might not work well together and you end up with a streaky mess. I'm not opposed to buying something new, but would rather use stuff on hand if able.
 
I think Ech2O would work for you, Desertnate. I don’t know much about Kenotek besides some people love it. But I’ve never seen Ech2O work poorly on any ceramic-type product.
