Wolfgangs fusion wax , it's a wowo & will make any color vehicle pop. If u bump plastic trim it won't leave any residue & it smells great.. it seems to be the icing on my cake as all of my cars are coated with opti-coat pro & 1 other with cquartz finest.. and it will leave the tightest beads of water. Only con is its expensive, but once you run out , Wolfgang will refill it for life. Sorry for the sideways pics , posting from my iPhone , but here's a few pics from my arsenal.

for anyone who has a daily driver that really wants to keep it protected

you cant go wrong with either Chemical guys jet seal which contains tons of uv blockers
i also like to use sonax polymer net shield.

but if your looking for something with amazing water beading and water flying right off with quick application you can not go wrong with adams h2o guard and gloss, by far the easiest to apply and usually dont have to re apply till every 3rd or 4th wash. check it out

I really like Sonax PNS too. My only qualm about it is that pollen neutralizes it.

menzerna power lock sealant

then i use Meguair's Synthetic Xpress Spray wax after washes as a maintenance


why use sealant over wax? because sealant lasts longer. it takes a long time to properly wash and lay down the wax , i rather not have to do it every few weeks.

I'm a huge fan of Pinnacle and Wolfgang products. I use the Pinnacle liquid wax usually by HAND, but have done machine...only after CLAY BARING THE WHOLE CAR DOWN. I usually in spring and fall use the Wolfgang Total Swirl 3.0 (If the paint is bad start with their UBER Compound which is amazing and won't hurt clear coat but will knock out all but the deepest scratches if you work it with the right pad), Wolfgang Finish Glaze, all three by Machine......finished with Wolfgang Deep Gloss 3.0 Sealant. That will get you almost new shine and over 6 months of protection and if you know how to maintain your car this is a 2 times a year process. On top of that I use the Pinnacle Liquid wax as needed. The Sealant doesn't give you as deep a GLOSS as wax, but the wax alone doesn't protect the pain as long.

My 2 cents.

Here is a 200K car with a "less than stellar" re-spray I just picked up and polished out using the process above with a basic 6 speed Porter Cable Polisher and good foam pads:

I have been using the Autoglym line of products from the UK and have no complaints, the wax will last for a year but the car is only outside during the summer months and always parked in the garage unless the sun is shinning and I am in the seat.

I tried jet seal and like it so much that I've decided I can skip wax. Now looking into ceramic coating for longer lasting protection. Is cquartz the way to go?

does hydro2 offer additional protection or is it more for looks? I don't care about it being shiny.
