Hello just looking for suggestions on the longest lasting sealant for single stage paint. Gloss and slickness are a bonus but the most important quality is the durability and duration as the truck is kept outside. I recently polished a 1978 GMC Sierra using Mike's #7 method and sealed it with 2 coats of Jetseal 109, let's just say that I was not exactly pleased with how it lasted....

I wonder if they Sealant did not adhere well over #7 as its very oily. I would say do an IPA wipe down but I am not sure single stage will like the Alcohol may dry out the surface and counter act the best quality of #7 feeding the paint fresh oils. Maybe a different wax someone can recommend for going over #7. I have used Collonite 845 over it but not sure on how long it lasted as it was one of our rubbish trucks and I dont watch them that close and its not fair to judge as I never know what the idiots driving them do washing them.

I have read some mixed longevity reviews on Jetseal. I have never used it. I have petsonally seen 6-8 months from Power Lock. Not on a single stage paint though.

I actually wiped it down with CP eraser prior to sealing it. I've been wanting to pick up some power lock anyway so maybe I will give that a shot.
I've talked about a coating with the owner and he's interested but I can't find any of the ones that have been said to be single stage safe locally. He wants his truck for the weekends so if a new sealant doesn't hold up we will probably order one in and try that out. Was thinking of getting the PBL.
