    I love your threads and keep reading over them to learn more stuff every time but would be interested to hear if you could tell or rate their UV protection ability ? I have seen that FK1000 is suppose to have great UV protection but you have rated its protection slightly under 845, so it would be nice to see if one of the collinite waxes has the same or better UV protection, since they may have better overall protection as well.

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Thanks for the compliment. But...please don't confuse me with any of the pros here. I have no idea what I'm doing regarding detailing or paint protection. I'm just some random jackass on the internet who likes to collect data and measure things. I don't know how to measure UV protection. Happy to try if there's a way to do this.

    While this made me LOL, I wouldn't go that far, these test provide great insight for the users that come her for information. This is a great test, I ruined mine by being lazy and killed off all the sealants... oops

    Re: Sealant comparison

    I noticed no more updates but wasn't sure why. You killed them by using a pressure washer or something else? If that's it I think the results would still be valid. Have ordered can coat.

    Re: Sealant comparison

    No, I was lazy and just grabbed my spray bottle of d114 that I use for wheels that's mixed 1/31 and after using that to wash they all died except can coat. I tried to use some other soaps like reset to see if I could save them but they all fell flat. I do need to update the post though I keep forgetting

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Very interesting. I know many here will insist that a prep dilution of N-914 won't remove a sealant. It could be that your sealants were all on the way out and that D114 just helped them along a little.

    Opportunity for somebody to confirm this. Two areas with the same sealant applied, wash one a few times with rinseless concentration and the other with something stronger and see what happens.

    I've read that d114 mixed to strong can/will remove your LSP. It's still debated but I think a Meg's rep is the one that brought it up.

    Re: Sealant comparison

    Scorecard to date below. Some of these were a challenge to judge due to the testing gap I had around Thanksgiving. A couple also have longer duration than I originally thought because they got revived with clay or Carpro Reset. I called them "done" when I couldn't see any water performance difference between the product and taped off areas. This may not be accurate but is what I can measure visually.

    Disclaimer: These results are what I got in my environment and won't reflect what others will see. I'm hoping it's a demonstration of relative longevity.

    Is it still there after clay? Or is the beading from the results of clay?? I would imagine that clay will pull off many/most protections like these.

    Re: Sealant comparison

    PNS would almost have to still be working. The sealants on the white hood were all done except for the ones on the right side. So I clayed the left 2/3 - there was nothing to lose. The only one that started sheeting water again was Sonax PNS. It may have removed some of the sealant. It seems to have also removed contaminants that were keeping it from sheeting. I can't say why it worked for PNS and nothing else.

    I'm guessing here and am all ears if there's a different or better explanation.
