Hi everybody, can anyone recommend a good sealant from meguiars or equivalent? I buy most of my products off amazon.ca
 
Equivalent sealant would be Menzerna Power Lock. It has become my go-to sealant. Goes on easily with any DA polisher and wipes off easily. Leaves a beautiful shine.

I'm going to try the Power Lock as Walter mentioned. I now use M21 but will order Power Lock and give that a shot.

I recommend that you need to give
Finish Kare's 1000P Hi-Temp Wax a try.

It is factually/actually a Sealant...and is one
car-care product, from a car-care Brand that
has a rather unique relationship with Meguiar's.

Bought some from AG, can't wait to try it.

From Meguiar's M21 or ultimate wax.

:iagree:

If you like Meguiar's.... M21 2.0 is a great sealant. You can also top it with Ultimate Liquid Wax (which is also a sealant).

Both are good sealants indeed. Then you can top BOTH of those with #26 Yellow Wax which is a hybrid sealant wax. Yes it has carnauba in it, but it is also a polymer sealant. It has for decades now been known as one of the best looking LSP products out there. EVER! :dblthumb2:

Because it has carnauba in it, it's not as durable overall as a pure 'sealant', but over the top of another sealant you get the best of both worlds. The DOI "Distinction Of Image" is in the low/mid 90's. (A mirror is 100%.) Most, (if not almost all) traditional waxes tend to decrease DOI, where #26 actually increases it! It has the ability to (as was explained some years ago) "bend light" and actually increase the gloss, shine, depth, and reflectivity of your paint.

Sounds like some MOL jargon.

So the ultimate liquid wax? Or is that not just regular wax and not a sealant

Ultimate liquid wax and ultimate paste wax are both sealants. They are essentially the same product other than the ingredients to make the paste a paste. The liquid version won't stain trim.
 
I'd forget Gold Class and go straight to Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. It is LIGHT YEARS ahead of "gold"!
Then Megs Ultimate Quick Wax (it's a spray) you can use between major sealant applications. FWIW... ULW is the consumer version of Megs 156, (that you buy in the gallons from Autogeek). Then 156 and Duragloss Aquawax are also similar, although I feel that AW leaves a slicker surface. You can also 'feel' AW more on the surface than you can 156, (which has more of a sterile feel to it).
 
I use Meguiar's M20 Polymer Sealant, M21, Ultimate Liquid Wax, and the newer Paint Protect 365. Duragloss 101, and 111 are also very nice sealants.

Nope.... that was straight from Mike Phillips. Which as we know was the lead trainer for Meguiar's for years. :)

"I have a catalog in my collection from 1988 that states,

M26 is the only wax that will increase the D.O.I. of a previously polished surface.

The context of that statement was after using #7 Show Car Glaze on black paint, most waxes would decrease D.O.I. while M26 would actually increase D.O.I.

I asked a chemist friend about this and he said it was because M26 has/had the ability to bend light. Maybe one of our engineering type people can explain how that would work...

D.O.I. = Distinction of Image

The ability of a surface to reflect an image clearly. A mirror offers 100% D.O.I."
