Default TEST: Jeffs/Klasse/Pinnacle/S100

About a month ago I did a little test on the trunk of the S:

Jeffs and Klasse are only on the first Left halves topped with the Carnaubas and only the Carnaubas on the right with no sealant:












S100 on top of the tape and Pinnacle on the bottom of the tape:







No treatment on the left side:







No treatment on the right side:

neat tests! almost looks like the carnauba did as well as the synthetics-

would be easier to see on black (or on your green car), but i get the idea!!

Interesting tests but I'd like to see how the synthetics perform without being topped with carnauba. Also, these tests look like they were done back to back. ANY freshly applied product will bead up pretty well and look great. Even Turtle Wax will bead nicely minutes after the first application.

I'd be more interested in doing sections of a hood and leaving it outside for 3 or 4 weeks. Sheet the hood with water and wash it once a week to monitor the durability of each product. I might do this myself if I ever get around to it, although in my case I'd only be testing my various collection of synthetics.

I haven't touched the car since I took the pics the 2nd week of May. I'll take some pics today when I get home and post them up.

Which one did you like the best and has the best value? Taking into consideration price, ease of application, etc...

As far as value goes, Jeffs hands down. Plus it's a lot easier to apply and remove compared to the Klasse, but then again, which sealant isn't
