which sealant is the best?

[Magictouch]

For black car, Zymol is good.

 

For other cars, Hi Glaze 88 is also good.

[Lokturne]

That question really has no correct answer.

It's like asking what's the best car?

 

If you really must have an answer: Whichever is the most expensive.

Expensive ≠ Good or better

There are waxes that sold for >$1,000 but all you paid for is the wax + advertising $$$.

 

But you are right...there are no correct answers, otherwise all the other competitors might as well close shop.

[Valjean]

Which wax is this that sells for more than $1,000?!

[Silgt]

Swissol, Zymol etc...their top of the range wax can cost upwards of US$7,000...however you're most probably paying a premium to to fund their legal fees for the suit among themselves [laugh]

If you are looking for shine, suggest u go for zaino. klasse is also quite good from what i know.

[Valjean]

I think I read somewhere that these two product lines are quite similar.

 

Upward of $7,000 for a can of wax... Swissol/Zymol must be producing them from vintage harvests from the finest carnauba trees...

so similar that one is suing another for breach of trust (long story there)

yeah, probably using the same grape from 1992 Ch. P

Well with a question like that, it was the only answer I thought would satisfy the original poster.

which sealant is the best?

 

Bro, best is subjective and depends on your standard. To some, abit shine is already the best. When u say the best, does it mean

 

1) the most shine?

2) the longest lasting?

3) the easiest to apply?

 

Personally i recommend using Klasse AIO and Meguair #21....ok, now i sound like silgt.

Anyway, it works great for my black lancer! and my father in law's car! the feeling after u claybar and apply klasse AIO is shiok, very smooth and shiny... followed by Meg #21.....

Unfortunately, there are no magic formula outside there (whatever brand you care to mention). So if you formulate a sealant to give you depth, you will likely to sacrifies durability....etc etc. Sad thing is these "requirements" are usually mutually exclusive, hence we might never get one product that will give you shine, depth, sleek, durable, ease of use etc all in one package.

Yes you are right... Eh, so u are back from KL lah? Still waiting for your stuff u said 2months time my problem will be solved....

Care to share ur experience as to which sealant will give u the shine and which will give u the durability? I'm keen to learn, tks!

[Silgt]

from what I've tried, Zaino gives you the longest durability. #21 gives you the best best depth for a sealant, everything else being equal.

[Toalson]

Zaino - where to buy, its a wax rite?

 

#21 is the polymer sealant rite? And its not as durable?

 

Any experience with AG, Klasse or Fusso? Tks!

[Silgt]

I'm comparing synthetic sealant with synthetic sealant here...

 

anyway, durability is subjective. How long before you classify it as durable? 1 month? maybe 2? #21 can easily last about 2 months per my observation.
