fav wax: liquid Souverän. Easy on and off. Doesn’t last super long. And seems to attract dust, but the shine and feel are excellent for the price. Klasse sealant glaze lasts pretty long but is a pain to take off if not done properly.
fav detailer: Wolfgang’s instant derail spritz. Very easy application and removal and leaves a super slick surface
pic is after a clay, pinnacle swirl remover, pinnacle advanced polish and 2 coats Klasse SG 12 hrs apart.
I don't understand why people still wax when sealent technology is easier to apply, lasts longer, keeps the surface cleaner, and doesn't attract dust.
As others have mentioned, menzerna powerlock polymer sealant is an excellent product. Super easy to apply by hand and a little goes a long way, so very cost effective.
If you really want your surface to pop use some p21s paintwork cleanser beforehand.
I've tried a lot of 'em. One good one works pretty much as well as another good one. I've done too many test comparisons, and the takeaway for me is this: The key is prepping the paint, and PROPER application of a polish, wax or sealant. I've come to greatly appreciate sealants, not only for my DD but for my garage queens. They last longer, attract less dust and are easy to work with. I humbly submit that many of the claims of "best gloss ever" are merely hyperbole.
I know a guy with a black classic Ford who won't use anything but Zaino. I saw his car after a Zaino detail, and it looked OK except for the swirls. Operator error perhaps, but his black paint did not look as good as the black paint on my classic car which had very few if any swirls.
FYI, I used Wolfgang products for that detailing. I am not affiliated with Wolfgang nor do I have anything against Zaino. I'm certain it's all in how careful the detailer is. I've also had excellent results with Maguiar's, Griot's and other products.
The last thing anyone needs in a detailing product is one which is hard to work with. Griot's older version of "Best in Show" was one of those. UGH. The kicker was that it wasn't any more glossy or deep than their sealant, it was a PITA, and didn't last nearly as long.
I've been using Klasse All-In-One polish for several years on all my vehicles and it's easy to work with and lasts a good amount of time on the surface. I would highly recommend it especially if you have a random orbit polisher to use with it.
