+1 for collinite. The stuff is incredible. Read here https://g35driver.com/forums/care-de...s-longest.html

 

ive been using collinite 845 insulator wax for about 6 years now on black cars. The shine and protection are incredible

 

I've tried the "big boys" in the past:

Zaino-Pain the *** steps, expensive, decent durability
Klasse-AIO is easy, but too much SG and you'll cry when you remove it
Jeffs-As good as Klasse, but the sealant is much easier to remove than the Klasse SG
CG Jetseal-My old favorite, but we'll see...

I'm now on Blackfire's sealant topped with CG 50/50, and I must say that it's the easiest so far. The Blackfire is much easier to apply/remove than the CG, but I have to see if it lasts as long.



Peeps have to remember that climate plays a big part in how long the sealant will last. The cold doesn't really affect sealant as much as heat/humidity/salt air will. For those in the latter types of climate, you will probably have to seal more often. Also, using the right amount of soap, as well as the right soap, so that you don't strip off what's on the car is also important.

 

^Exactly what I was going to say.
I converted to FMJ last year after several years using Zaino.
The difference in durability is minimal (both are great)
But FMJ is sooooo easy to use.

 

Ian do you think it would last as long as Zaino when your vehicle sits outside 24/7. If you do, I will switch to FMJ next Spring.

 

I've never tried Zaino. However I have to say the past 5 years I've been using FMJ it's awesome. There is no product I've used that is even close to the ease of use, and the durability is excellent.

 

I can't really answer that one Wayne, since mine is inside a lot.
I have a jug of it though, I'll give you a shot to try.

It would really be good to do a test panel side by side.

 

How does the Optimum poly seal compare to these. I've only used the Optimum line.

 

Good idea Ian, I would love to try that once the weather warms up.

 

I've heard of lot of good things about it Jeff, but I haven't used it myself.

 

Sounds like a plan
