Seeking opinions: V7 or AW?

[Brace1]

I used up my gallon of AW, and figured I would use some of the OCW I had, but not really digging the OCW (been spoiled by AW). I recently read this thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/70923-review-hybrid-v7-chemical-guys.html) and most were praising CG V7, but before I made the leap I wanted to get opinions of AW vs V7.

I mostly use it after drying (with the leaf blower) to provide some protection and extend the time between full details, where I typically use a sealant either KSG or Duragloss.

Feed back please

I am probably in the minority here, but I am not a big fan of V7. I prefer AW and D156.

So I am a fan of V7, but recently picked up a bottle of sonax brilliant shine detailer and absolutely love it. I think it may replace V7 in my arsenal.

whats AW?
i thought V7 contained alcohol and will shorten the life of the wax underneath. unless you use a sealant first

And that is why I am not a fan. AW is Duragloss Aquawax it's a spray sealant

ah, i know aquawax. just didn't get the abbriviation :D
then I vote aquawax. I don't like V7

I'd have I give the edge to AW. However, both are nice. AW seems to enhance beading, while V7 tends to mute it for me. I tend to use less V7 than AW, so a gallon could last longer.

Sometimes AW looks "too bright" to me right after it's applied. But it goes down in a day or so.

Sonax Brilliant Shine is brilliant. OCW works well for me as a lone LSP, not as a "topper" or "booster".

As a drying aid, two products in the winners circle..Prima Hydro Wax and Lucas Slick Mist.

Another strong supporter of AW here. Love it.

Never tried V7 but I've heard it has awful durability and I've seen beading pictures and they were not good at all. I don't know why this product gets so much hype.
Aquawax looks great, is super slick, a breeze to apply, and has amazing durability. It's also pretty cheap!

First time i heard this. V7 has alcohol?

[octane]

First time i heard this. V7 has alcohol?
smells great, and has alcohol, sound like a winner to me! lol

[Real Riders]

I have V7 and I'm not that impressed. I will have to try the Duragloss Aquawax.

[spiralout462]

I use both. I enjoy Aquawax or Pinnacle Crystal Mist more than V7.

I prefer v07 and D156 over aquawax. In fact I'm trying to use up my AW by adding a few ounces in my rinseless washes. Just IMO.
