Paint sealant recommendations

[Jrdriver]

What do you guys recommend as a paint sealant?

I've used Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant with great success. Great protection and the slickness is unreal. It's a favorite on this forum.

IMO:
Every Sealant that AGO sells are really
good ones. Here's a few to choose from:

-FinishKare 1000p
-Collinite #845
-Meguiar's Ultimate Wax
-Wolfgang DGPS
-Meguiar's 21 2.0
-The Klasse Twins: K-AIO, K-HGSG

Have very much enjoyed using BlackFire Crystal Seal. Seriously it doesn't get much easier, it looks great and is as slick as anything you'd touch. I honestly can't tell you about the durability as I never let anything go to the point they're no longer protecting. That said, as easy as it is to apply it isn't much of an issue.

I wasn't aware collinite 845 was actually a sealant I use that as my wax now. Would I have any issues if I wanted to layer it over a dedicated sealant like the Meg's 21 2.0?

My personal go tos are Blackfire wet diamond, 4 star ultimate paint protection and Wolfgang deep gloss. From those 3 I usually have a hard time choosing which one to use.

OK...Putting #845, with its synthetic polymers, in the:
Hybrid Sealant category also works just fine for me.

Why not just apply two coats of either product?
That way the only "issue" should be: allowing for
a cure time of 12-24 hours between coats.

Ok that makes sense and with 2 coats what do you estimate the life of those coats would be with regular washes

Menzerna PL. My favorite.

A killer combo...black fire crystal seal topped with FK1000p. Oh yeah...

First:
Applying 2 coats is to ensure total coverage.

Secondly:
-I'm not going to speculate if applying 2 coats
will either increase a Sealant's overall thickness,
or, that, by applying 2 coats: it will increase its
longevity over and above what 1 coat is advertised
to perdure. And...Beside washing;
-Just way too many variables to list.


Lastly:
Don't discount the other Sealants that I listed.
Especially one of my favorites:
Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax (http://www.autogeek.net/finish-kare-1000p-wax.html)

I've done colli 845 over M21. It really darkened my paint, to the point that it was really easy to see streaking/blotches in certain light. I've never had it that severe before and I'm very concise with my app/removal. There is just something about that combo and my paint/color.

When I topped M21 with 476 I didn't have the problem at all, in fact it was much more mirror-like and reflective as opposed to dark/wet. The opposite of what I expected.

That said, sure you can do it. Try a test spot and see how it looks. But like Bob suggested, I'm back to 2-coats of either/or instead of both.

Ultima Paint Guard a Plus. WOWA. Best I've used to date.
