So im pretty new to the detailing world and i started using chemical guys products because they are near by and i can stop by their shop and buy supplies .
Heres the situation i came across , i used jetseal on my moms 2012 kia optima (white) early september and i washed it today and i have noticed it dosent bead good at all anymore and shine has gone way down as well. She dosent drive it alot its mostly parked in the driveway. I want to try something new and something with more durability but something thats similar to apply . thanks im open to suggestions on sealant and other things i am sure their are products that are much better than chemical guys . Thanks guys my ears are open
 
You would probably benefit from a wowa (wipe on walk away) sealant like optimum optiseal. The incoming suggestions will be based on people's account of cost, looks, ease of use, durability, slickness, etc.

i have really been looking into that selant!
i took the cg detailing class and it was a horrible , everything we did was incomplete and half assed. complete joke
 
Stuff I have experience with in order of ease of use to longest durability:

Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax, DP PoliCoat, Collinite 845

But with how long you spend applying each of these why not just coat it with one of the many ceramic treatments available?

i have been looking into the ceramic pro 9h but it looks a little difficult to apply , im used to the traditional wax like applications
 
IMO any of these 3 should give you a decent amount of protection at a good price point, with ease of application/removal.

Menzerna Powerlock
Collinite 845
Optimum Opitseal
 
Meguiar's M21 2.0 Synthetic Sealant may just be
the dog's bollocks for your situation. :xyxthumbs:

also heard good thing about collinite , my trucks white if it makes a diffrence!
 
Sonax PNS not the easiest to apply not really hard either. But offers good durability for a sealant, great hydrophobicity, and great self cleaning.

+1

even sonax brilliant shine detailer is good as standalone :xyxthumbs:
 
I love WDGPS 3.0. I did my wife's car about 6 months ago and it still beads good, not bad for sitting outside 24/7 and washed about every 1 1/2 weeks. It still feels very slick and looks good on silver.
 
Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0 is very good. I have seen the conclusion of a great test between 40-50 sealants in England and it was among the 5 that lasted 4 months in the harsh English winter. However Jet Seal and M-seal by CG were in the last 5 too.

Good stuff. You can even pick up ultimate wax locally as it is Meguiar's longest lasting wax. It is a sealant. You can't go wrong with M21 or ultimate wax.
 
Menz Power Lock
Collinite 845 Insulator Wax
Meguiars Ultimate Liquid wax

The above are the easiest I have used to apply and remove with the edge going to Power Lock for looks and durability.
 
The most indestructible top coat product I have ever used is collinite 845. Only a coating will beat it....
 
I love BlackFire All Finish Paint Protection it's crazy easy , and lasts . Then BF Crystal Seal after washes is nice too.
 
Ultima Paint Guard Plus. Wipe on walk away. I put two coats on my mother's car 18 months ago. Just now starting to need to be done again.
