Infact, I find that Duragloss 921 and even Finish Kare 425 are better looking products will same ease of use, and about the same durability.
Tell me more about the new Poli-seal also ?? I got a sample, and mine says carnauba on it. As such I have been relucant to try it, as I want and believed this product was sealant based and designed to go head to head with products like Klasse Twins and Werkstatt, if it truly is carnauba based (maybe it was changed at a later date??) then I dont see it holding pace with acrylic protection the other two offer.
Please LMK your thoughts ... |
I use the wax (OCW) because it works great. I have been greatly satisfied with the overall look it gives me.
I have also been happy with the longevity. I get at least 2 to 3 months out of an application. I don't use it in conjunction with any other sealers, polymer or carnauba based. I use it as a stand alone.
Now the area of "longevity" is subjective for who knows if the product is still there? Beading alone can't be the determining factor, nor can slickness. A product may be still on the surface without those factors.....so it comes down to personal preference.
In regards to the PoliSeal. It is a polymer product, not acrylic (by the way, AIO has next to nil in terms of acrylic protection) with an added carnauba. The amount of carnauba added is very slight and only added so it will work with other carnauba based products.
So based on protection PoliSeal would be the better choice over AIO. I also find it less of a hassle to work with and I am finding, as have others, that it seems to clean up trim and such nicely. I don't notice any staining of trim....but this may change as I do more cars with it.
PoliSeal will also correct paint where the AIO is pretty weak, unless doing single stage oxidation removal. PoliSeal is NOT a pure polymer product but rather designed for the car enthusiast that may not have a polisher. What we found though through testing was that it makes on hell of a "one step" for both wholesale and retail detailers...both by hand and machine (rotary also).
If you want something more along the lines of a true polymer, with no carnuaba, then you may want to try my sealant. I will be getting some more beta samples by Friday of the New Year and hopefully the tweaks will fix the issues I was experiencing. If all goes well I'll need some beta testers.
Thanks,
Anthony
The interior changed color more than the exterior I think.
