| | | LSP protection
I was reading through some different descriptions of different LSPs, and noticed that Klasse said that it was scratch-resistant, Liquid Glass raved about being so 'carbon' tough and slick, while Surf City combo again raved about how slick it was.
I am REALLY interested in a LSP that can protect really well, especially against scratching as I will be doing ONR washes to my car (apartment complex) and parking in a dirt lot during the work day. Does Klasse really protect against scratching, or do you guys know of one that does? |

Just repeating what it said: Quote: |
High Gloss Sealant Glaze creates an elastic, non-chip, shrink-proof, heat and scratch resistant - protective seal
| The question still remains though, looks aside, what LSP protects the best, and will release dirt the easiest. If someone does have some more info on the scratch resistant claim, please chime in! |

That said I'd really like to be proven wrong. It would be nice to find one that would. |

With that aside then, the second part of the question. From what I understand, Zymol Vintage is legendary for its ability to sheet water off and not letting anything stick to the surface (stuff literally rinses off), but I don't have $2000 to shell out for a wax.
What kind of wax will offer that kind of protection? I'm not concerned about durability, just its ability to protect. |

Klasse?Dont think so.I just scratched my door with the leaf blower cord (darn).But it has been may fave AIO.
When doing ONR, just use good microfiber towels and mitts.
If youre after durability, i suggest KSG for sealants and collinite 915 or 845 for carnaubas. hope this helps |

Either Collinite 476/885 or FK1 1000P. |

I have used collinite 845 and I am very impressed with it's durability and beading action especially with the salt on the roads! But... as far as scratches.... the proper two bucket wash technique will is your best defense.  Do you have a car wash were you can do a good rinse (water only)before you use the ONR? With chips well... that is something we all worry about every time we drive.  Not a lot of suggestions for preventing those.

The closest that I've seen to just rinse stuff off is DG #105 w/AW. I am far from trying all products though. |

Let me see if I can't explain myself a little better.
Durability means nothing to me, as I actually love waxing my car. One month of protection is plenty, and 2 or more is a blessing. Since I can ONLY do ONR washes, I am looking for something that will allow me to be as gentle as possible on the paint (meaning less swirls), and make washing/cleaning it a breeze. Something that will not allow containments to embed themselves and then require me to do nothing but lightly glide the mit across.
Anyone have experience with that or am I just asking too much from a wax? | | |
