Best Sealant

[Black_c]

Hi,

 

 

Which is the best product to use can how long can it last? I currently using Zaino for my polish..........

 

 

[Slonez]

I interested to know too!

The general quorum here is that the product with the best shine has shortest protection lifespan.

 

There was a study by some detailing guys. Products like Klasse look very good but by the 13th car wash, the protection has dropped to half. Just like performance and comfort, you cannot get the two together. You just cannot have your cake and eat it.

 

That being said, marine waxes don't look as liquid and as shiny as Zaino or Klasse but has the most and longest protection against corrosion. FYI, you can use marine/boat waxes on cars as well if you can get them easily.

This is a tough question to answer.

 

For our Singapore wheather, I can say no sealant can last more than 4 weeks.

 

So, just keep apply the sealant once every 3-4 weeks. This shall keep u babe

looking shiny everyday .

 

Two products I recomment for u

 

1. Autoglym (available everywhere)

2. Klasse (not easy to buy in Singapore)

 

Both sealant can last for 3-4 weeks. But one thing u must know well preparation of

the car body is the KEY to let the car body bond w/ the sealant and give u the best

result.

I've been sending my car to Autoglym since 1998 and I've also watch how they apply their products to the car. For sealant, it has to be left on the paintwork for close to an hour before removal of the dried chalky compound. They don't recommend applying of sealant that often but they do recommend frequent use of the resin polish.

[Marcostan]

Kilomatrix,

 

If your car body condition is good u can keep apply sealant. If once u feel the

car body is no longer smooth then u need to do the Resin Polish first before u

apply sealant.

 

U're right for Autoglym product u need to let it set for at least 1 - 1.5 hours

b4 u can buff off. If not the result cannot last long.

 

This is the reason I'm not use Autoglym now.

One of the reason I'm not using autoglym either, who's got an hour to spare waiting for sealant to dry.

hi, i recently gotten my hands on einszett glanz wax. this brand relatively unheard of in singapore but quite popular in europe and USA.

 

einszett is a synthetic wax, more like a sealant according to US users. it is easy to very apply - my gf spent 20mins to do the whole car!

 

as my car is relatively new, i shall not say glanz wax makes my car shine! after all, which new car doesnt shine?

 

all i would say is that beading effect for this product is fantastic, something i dont see when i was using autoglym or turtle wax. 3 weeks already and the beads are still fantastic. i will post some pics of the tight tiny water beads when i have time.

 

einszett is from germany. the singapore importer is zedott (zedott.com). understand official launch is in jan 05.

[Slonez]

Sound interesting.

Where is Zedott & how much for the einszett glanz wax?

[Genie47]

Trying out the easy stuff eh? Yes Einszett is pretty popular because of its ease. Spray and wipe.

[Slonez]

Whoa, spray & wipe some more, another 10 pts for Einszett.

[Tien]

zedott is the singapore importer. from my understanding, they are not officially doing business yet

 

their web site says "under construction"...

[Tien]

hehehe cos read many reviews saying it's easy to use... that's what got me interested in the first place

 

it comes in a metal bottle/tin 500ml. no spray. just pour some on applicator and quickly wipe down the car, then wipe off.

 

effect wise still monitoring. but so far so good.

 

if you interested i try to get some samples for you.

[Steelblue]

Tien, where did you order from? I saw they don't ship 1Z outside States now due to new formulation I think

[Tien]

i bought it from the sg importer (he happens to be my client). company name is zedott. web site is www.zedott.com but it's under construction. understand from him official launch will be in jan'05.

 

those interested can try emailing them your request. but i dont know if they willing to sell before launch date... [email protected]

 

i have 1 extra set (perls shampoo, metallic polish wax, glanz wax = $70/set. usual price is $80). anyone want? self collection only
