The Biggest Sealant Test ever!

[sgtmillhouse648]

Neat to see the Klasse Twins made it! Really I have a feeling when you get into the upper echelon of sealants there isn't much difference between them other than cost and personal preference!

obviously there is wax on the finish dude. thats the whole point of the test? but even with all those expensive products thrown on the finish the reflection is still very poor... because the finish is in fact vinyl

He said it is a horse hauler...from knowing/raising horses all my life, i know for a fact that horse trailers/haulers are masked out and shot with paint. The paints are typically a single-stage enamel designed to simply stand up to the world and the elements, not to look good. The finishes are meant to be presentable for decades, with new haulers costing more than many homes! The paints are generic enamels which are laid on heavy and quick. You can even see the sheer amount of orange peel in the pictures. That there will kill any reflection! Vinyl cannot stand up to the demands that a hauler sees on a regular basis. It is occasionally used for brand names etc. on the fronts of trailers, but these are the areas which fail soonest on them.

Hope that helps the debate

Bottom line boys and girls, it's an exhaustive test and the data presented appears to be well documented.

While every test may contain hidden biased I don't feel it was in this case due to the sheer numbers of products tested. Honesty is something we rely on and should be the foundation in what we report or present to the masses.

No one like to see products they use and feel to be the very best fail sooner than others, me included, however other's I use are in the group of survivors.

The conclusions of this test do not force anyone to use one product over another especially if your personal experience or results differs or contradicts the conclusions above, it's merely data or information for us to use and digest.

i think you hit the nail on the head with that statement as to regards why some people have such strong feelings defending this "test"

i personally use wgdps, klasse twins and zaino and love to see they came out tops but when the test parameters are flawed i dont go all defensive and childish but instead point them out so them someone with who at least possesses the slightest degree of comprehension will view the test with a bit of objectivity

I would have loved to have seen 4* UPP thrown in the mix. Either way, I like this test and it is definitely educational. Thanks OP! rops:
