Opinions on the best sealant

**f150smith** · 10-25-2010, 11:48 AM

In a post from a while back, Mike Phillips said something to the effect of, find a product you like and use it often. By doing that, at least IMO, you learn more about the product and what it takes to use it properly. It seems that every year a company puts out the newest, latest, easiest to use product, that lasts longer and shines brighter. And while they may incorporate the latest advances in technology, each new product has a learning curve before you learn it's good points and bad. I've been using KAIO, KSG, and Collinte Paste waxes for years now and do not have any issues with them now. It took me several uses to get to know them, but now, they're kinda like my favorite jeans, not the latest greatest or newest, but ones that I am comfortable with.

I follow all my sealants with a wax anyway but I do a lot of show cars. So the look is high on my priority list.

Nothings easier to remove then UPGP.

Actually wrote the story behind the saying here...

Skill and experience are huge factors for successful results with any product...

Haha! So true! Of course, I've never had to remove it ...

Wipe on walk away!

UPGP is awesome (thanks Corey)

I do find it strange to just wipe it on and walk away with the feeling I'm done.

Well said! I've got some KSG here and it is a product that I have never used. I know it can be difficult to apply/remove, so if you have any pointers, please let me know.
