Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant vs Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0
Hi there,
Thank you all for your help!
Just wondering what the difference is between Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0.
Do they last about 6 months?

Have not used megs #21 but have used megs #20 ( polymer sealant). Does offer about 6 months, depending on weather and usage obviously. WDGS offers just as much protection and an even better look in my opinion. If you are not going to put a carnauba wax on top, stick with WDGS. Have used wolfgang on my black jeep. Shop I work in uses megs.

I like and use 'em both!!
But if you're using, say, Meg's UC: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-compound.html...
I'd go with Meg's# 21 2.0 if I were you...{<Synergy>...et al.}

Too many variables---natural and man-made---to give an exact time period.
Let's say they should 'last longer', than waxes will, under the same identical conditions.

I've used both, and like both. Wolfgang may have a slight advantage on ease of removal. #21 does well in dry, non-humid weather. If you take it off too soon, you'll see some smeared areas after you put it in the sun ... #20 is very similar to Wolfgang in my book. 6 months is a consistent average you could expect from any of these.

I like and use both. Although I so far all my usage of WG has been from the numerous samples I've gathered every few weeks or so. ;) When I'm buying, I'm buying Megs 21 2.0 and use it MUCH more often. Synergy perhaps.... who knows at this point. Used to be I'd use Megs just because I had so freaking much of their other products. Now however I have WG & BF in both WOWO and WOWA versions. :laughing:
That being said.... I prefer to apply the WOWO versions of ANY sealant over and above the WOWA version. For me, it's a LOT easier to put a pad on the GG and apply it very evenly and very thin than it is to crawl around with a surgically clean microfiber applicator pad and just hope I get enough vapor(s) of the WOWA version(s) on the paint to actually get full coverage. (For those that have done it, you know what I mean. A few drops on the applicator pad and wipe an entire panel, few more drops and another panel, (reminds me of lather rinse repeat). :rolleyes: I just find it frustrating to get full coverage with what it literally vapors compared to a film that I KNOW is there. :dunno:

Would the extra step of adding a glaze beforehand be usefull? If so what would would you recomend?

The only time I'd put a glaze on ANYTHING would be maybe a show car that already had darned near perfect paint, was going to a weekend show (preferably inside), and wasn't going to be exposed to any washing or water till the next time I did any maintenance on it.
In other words, a glaze is nothing but a quick "cover-up" that can add 'pop', but has literally ZERO durability. I look at glaze like makeup hiding bad skin. Topping a glaze with a sealant is a waste of sealant, because the glaze will wash off long before even the cheapest sealant would. (imho of course) :dunno:

I haven't used either but I just picked up a bottle of #21 based on all of the good reviews for it. You should be fine with either one.

does #21 or #26 leave a white residue on trim? I plan on taping but wondering for specific areas,
