Sealant product recommendation: Looking for durability, longevity, hydrophobic properties, appearance, and ease of application

Bob, what is your opinion on the FK vs. 476?
 
Sonax gets a vote from me as well. PNS, topped with BSD every other wash. I've never used anything as hydrophobic as these. But.... application is not slick and easy. It tends to be a little grabby, but WELL WORTH IT!
 
On a duragloss kick this week!

Longest durability? Duragloss 105. One year protection!

Cut is low but geez---nothing sticks to paint!!! Water disappears after your pour on the paint!!

I do the 105/601 ratio and go around the car one time. Pretty damn awesome stuff I say...!

I used Beasley's Plasma like a sealant ,topped with DoDo Supernatural, or Supernatural Nano, Purple Haze is nice as well.

Sorry Paul, this posting somehow
slipped past me...

•At this time, I’ll just direct my attention to
two of the characteristics of FK1000P that
I believe causes its overall performance to
eclipse that of Collinite #476.

************************************

•Being that FK1000P was originally formulated
for the Molding Industry...
1.) it has a very high “melting point”—able to
withstand temperatures up to 300°F.
2.) it is, actually/factually: layer-able.


•Once FK1000P’s film layer(s) have totally
cured [~6-12 hours...(YMMV)] it’s the com-
bination of those two formulation “quirks”
that gives FK1000P its preeminent aura of
long-lasting/durable Protection, IMO.

Bob,
Is there any tricks to removing the FK1000p off of rubber trim if and when it gets on it? Thats one thing that has me scared to use this on my paint...

You can either tape off your trim, or be VERY careful around it.

Otherwise, and because we are all human, a wax remover and complementary brush will do the trick.

^^^:goodpost: ...Either do this ^^^

•or you can “dress the trim” before
you start applying the FK1000P.

Also durability to me is what resistance spectrum of s product, how much abuse it can take from the PH scale

Longevity is what most people are after

For paste type products
Finishkare FK1000
Fusso
Collenite double coat

For a spray
Polish Angel Hi Gloss
Angelwax Corono

Their coming coat and Cosmic are stupid easy to install and lasts long too(advertised as a coating but applies like any wax/sealant creme)
 
I have a large bottle/jug of Meguiars Synthetic Sealant #21

Is it all that bad of a product ???? Before I spend More $$$
on ?????

M21 is OK, I have the same big jug (64oz). There’s a lot that’s better though. It doesn’t seem very durable. Beading only lasts a few weeks and is mediocre at best. Shine and filling are nice but also disappear in a few weeks (for me). The protection may last much longer (?) but the good qualities seem to die fast.

Honestly, if I didn’t have a lot of better products and re-applied M21 every 3-4 weeks and/or combined with D156, it would be happy enough.
 
Turtle Wax Seal and Shine. Don’t laugh just try it. Unbelievable durability. $5.99 Walmart. Get it before price goes up because it likely will. I’ve used Wolfgang and others but this beats them all. I’m in shock. Oh and you can check out Apex Detail’s YouTube review if you want to see how tough this stuff really is. I’ve stocked up and it’s actually now on backorder from Amazon and Walmart.

I can't speak to the durability yet (although others say 6 months easy) IGL Premier looks great, very hydrophobic, a d it incredibly easy to apply. Only downside is it's expensive. It's been on my car a little more than 2 months and I've seen no decline in hydrophobic characteristics.

It has been awhile since I purchased a sealant. The last one that I purchased was Blackfire Wet Diamond which I thought worked fairly well but I'm out of it now.

I've read a lot of good things about Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and am thinking about giving it a try. Does it fit my specified criteria? This will primarily be used on our daily drivers.

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish also has some appeal due to the extreme ease of application (seems to be the leader in that category?).

Open to any and all recommendations and would love to know your preferred method of application for whatever product you recommend.

Thanks for your help.

This right here.

Adds gloss, slickness, very durable, does not stain trim, can be used on windows and trim, simple and fast to apply, and cheap.

I'd like to see some long term testing of Ice seal n shine vs powerlock, fk1000p, 476s. Likely all similar.
