Which LSP and why?

Calhoun,

I agree. But for those willing to settle for fourth, I noticed when
I was in Harbor Freight today, that they had the stuff on clearance.

If you are thinking of the blind test conducted by Dave KG, Collonite 915 actually came in second--just behind Swissvax Best of Show and ahead of Zymol Royale.
 
The more people keep talking about this Fuzion special, the more I am wanting to try it.

Would I still be able to use the NXT 2.0 as a sealant before the Fuzion?

Use the paintwork cleanser, then NXT, then Fuzion? Or NXT, Cleanser, Fuzion?

You could but why would you want to? Fuzion's durability is said to be just as good as NXT's. Go with two coats of Fuzion instead and see how well you like it. If you are going to fork over big bucks for a wax (and $70+ is still big bucks in my book), then at least enjoy the wax as it was meant to be enjoyed. Even if you are waxing your car every month, that tub is going to last you a good while. You may or may not like Fuzion better than NXT, but there's only one way to find out.

Paintwork cleanser always goes before the sealant/wax: cleanser-sealant or cleanser-wax or cleanser-sealant-wax.

Sealants for durability. I use DP SS. Sig Series II for light cars. Souveran Paste for dark colors.
Best bangs for the buck=DP Max Wax; Poorboys (I haven't used their carnubas); Collonite. Someone recently did a review of many high end waxes and Collonite finished forth in looks.

Did you see the one where the detailers had to polish 7 black Opel Corsa's. They all got the same polishing steps, but each one got its own coat of wax. They then asked a bunch of people to judge the cars and throw in their votes. The people who were asked to judge the cars did not know what wax was on what vehicle. If I remember correctly, Swissvax came first, Collinite #915 came second.

Why don't you get Duragloss #105 ($11 for 16oz) and then Poorboy's Natty's Red Paste Wax ($20 for 8oz).

#105 has nice durability, a nice shine, and it has some cleaning ability to boot. Then just top it with a coat or two of Natty's Red and then you're done.
 
There are just so many choices and differing opinions. I am leaning toward the fuzion deal as I said, don't think I will ever get a chance to get it unless it goes to this price again at a different time.
 
I have been using NXT. It is not that bad, but I think it could be better.
I have ordered some opti-seal to see how that goes.

I don't think I will bother with a wax over the top. Just 3 or so layers of the opti-seal.

Go with the FUZION. At that price you can't go wrong. I believe the fuzion will outlast the NXT. So don't even use the nxt underneath. Just 2 coats of fuzion and your good to go. us the paint cleaner(enhancement) to prep the paint before applying the fuzion.

trust your instinct and get it , or you will kick yourself later. Your gonna love Fuzion and this container will offer 30 or more applications.
 
Go for teh fuzion,

Dont bother with NXT under it, Use a actual good wuality sealent. I Like JEtseal 109, but cant wait to try the Wolfgang Sealent, many great reviewson it...
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, that has to be the blind test. I got it wrong. Knew that Collinite finished up there but second, wow.

Which one do you use and why?

Are higher end carnauba's like Fuzion, Souveran, and SSII recommended for daily drivers?

Or would it better to get something like Megs NXT 2.0?

I don't mind less durability, but I also want to get good protection after polishing.

I notice the different choices for LSP in Show N Shine and just am curious why people choose one over the other. My wife is balking at the prices as things are adding up and I want to be able to justify to her what I choose and why.

Thanks.

On a well prepped panel it's very hard to see the difference between waxes. I find it varies with the time of day, but the difference seems most prominent in the early morning sun and the evening sun. At mid day it's near impossible to see the differences.

In the end you can get all the opinions you want, but it really comes down to what wax looks best to you. You could wax a well prepped panel with 6 different waxes/sealants, have like 10 people judge them, and I promise you that not everyone will agree which one looks best.

I say look at factors such as cost, ease of application/removal, slickness, depth/gloss, and durability. Then decide what is most important to you, and base your decision from that.

Personally I like the look of the Nuba's, but really like the ease of use and slickness that comes with some of the sealants. Durability means very little to me, so I usually go with the Nuba on my own car. For customers, I will tend to use a sealant, unless it a special interest car.

Right now my car has Meguiar's M16 on her. :righton:

I'm of the school that paying more for a wax (to a point) that has a better ease of use than say a $10 can of wax is worth it to me in the time savings. I can wipe on and wipe off with minimal effort compared to letting haze and then being a pain in the but to remove it's worth it.

That's why I'll never use any OTC stuff again. My Wolfgang DGPS and DP Max Wax work great. I love the fact I can apply it, wipe it, and done.

Though I'm interested in Opti-seal for the wipe on walk away factor.

And well Fuzion I'll jump on the deal as soon as I talk to Meghan.

The one question I have with Fuzion for you experienced with it, is is there any cure time involved as with DGPS before you can layer.

And then for the techs at AG, has the freezing affected any of the polymers in the wax?
 
Use Nxt Tech wax 2.0, according to you it has cleaning ability

I would wait the 12 hours before applying the second coat. I thinkMeghan said it might be a little less with fuzion. But I might be mistaken. Technically speaking the solid state of the wax means it is already frozen. Your windshield is not liquid, it's frozen glass. Maybe extreme cold may effect it.
 
Maybe you should get off of your Megs soapbox and try something else and you will understand there is alot of better things out there.
