| Sealant/Wax recommendation?
Down to the dregs with my bottle of Collinite 845 and was interested in hearing recommendations for a long lasting, easy to apply sealant or wax. I'm very happy with Collinite but figure I should explore my options.
thanks,

I recently tried out Sonax Polymer Netshield, its a crazy sealant in terms of water beading.

I've also used Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection in the past as well. Very comparable to the Blackfire Wet Diamond.

Waxedshine Aquabead or Aquaboost. Can be had locally for cheap and is stupid easy to apply. Great beading and sheeting from both.

I did a porsche cayman, audi S3, and a lexus IS250.. and that was it.
The mag cleaner from sonax was also really impressive....
thanks everyone for this thread... lets see how long this shield will last... last time i used a polymer based wax was from zaino !!!

What is a good quick spray wax to be used in between full detail jobs? I do a full detail of my car once/twice a year and in between washes I use Meguiars Quick Wax/D156 Synthetic spray wax.
I heard Optimum Car Wax is good and it is in liquid form, but they are difficult to find in Canada; eshine is out of stock for a while and Amazon.ca doesn't have it for a reasonable price.

I've been using Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer for the last few years. Works well - only thing I don't like is having to go a 2nd round to wipe off streaks. Not a huge deal - takes maybe 10-15 mins more time. Optimum Instant Detailer | |
