Update:
This is the dirty trunk only washed twice since the 2nd week of May:
This is the side where the sealants topped with carnauba is:
This is the side where only the carnauba is:
This is after a quick wash:
What I noticed was that the side with Jeffs, sheets off the water a lot faster than the side with Klasse.
As far as the side with only carnauba and no sealants, the water sheeted a lot slower than the side with the sealants and beaded a lot less than the side with the sealants.

So, after my little test, I've come to the conclusion that the best form of protection is the technique I learned from wanabe, and that is to apply a Sealant and Top it with a carnuaba for a little extra pop and some extra protection.
With this Florida heat, the carnaubas have lasted but obviously not as long as the sealants.
I can't wait till I try the Collonite 845 Wax.....

so i'm guessing the winner is Jeff's?
Probably not the best question for a white car, but how's the shine and depth on both sealants?

I did get some depth but not to much but I still have the wet look.

ur gonna love collonite for it's durability. I've used it just for it's longevity since my car sits in an apt parking lot 99% of time. GG!!
I've always used klasse AIO and topped it off with a carnuba wax and haven't changed for a while.

I wish I would have known this before. I woulda ordered some jeff's. I spent over 200 bucks this week already and will be getting another 200 bucks worth of stuff soon.
How do you like the s100? I like it alot. It works great on my wifes dark colored car too. I put 2 coats of meguiars glaze #7 on the S, followed by a coat of synthetic, followed by 2 coats of s100. after over a week and 3-4 days of rain, and ridiculous heat, it still shines pretty good. Will see tomorrow how it beads up, as we are gonna get more rain
nice test. glad to see some serious contributions to this forum
