Opti Coat would be the most durable, but it's not a sealant.

You can make a turd shine, you have to polish it first. I don't care what product you buy when it comes to sealant or whatever. If the layer underneath isn't beautifully prepared, what you put on top won't do much to help.

I have Opti Coat on my Acura TL. I love it, but I agree with the posters above. You must correct and polish your paint prior to applying any sealant.

OptiCoat is a coating. As for sealants, I like blackfire white diamond, wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant, and klasse high gloss sealant.

For a polish, SF4500 should do nicely. I use Zaino sealants and will be testing UPGP in a couple weeks. (After lots of prep.)

UPGP, then again I haven't tried any of the other choices you listed.

Maybe 106FA?

As others have said before, 95% of the final result is prep, not LSP.

As noted opti-coat is a coating and not really a sealant.

I have used all of the ones you have listed. I found that PowerLock and BFWD were very similar to me in application, removal and overal look. BFWD was ever so slightly deeper and wetter. BFWD is very slick when first applied. UPGP is super slick and super easy to apply. That is what I choose to use this spring on my car. I am super impressed with UPGP.

Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection is nice, Power Lock is not too bad. I still haven't used Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection but my good buddy Corey says it is fantastic, which I have no reason to doubt him. I reach for Duragloss #501 Marine Polish or Duragloss #105 Total Performance Polish more than anything.
