Re: Sealant comparison
Washed the Rover and Sentra with CarPro Reset and a Big Red Sponge. Did not get a chance to test the Boxster. Hope to get to it tomorrow night.
Mother's Speed Wax, Mystery #7, Uber, and DP Spray Sealant are done. I somehow forgot to test Prima Hydro MAX on the Rover driver door. I'll try to check it tomorrow.
Rover (video)
- MS #6 - 7 seconds
- Red Mist - 8 seconds
- DP Spray Sealant - 15 seconds (calling it done)
- Hydro Max - did not test
- Mothers Speed Wax - 12 seconds (calling it done)
- MS #1 - 3 seconds
- DG 104 - 1 second
- Collinite 845 - 1 second
Sentra (video)
- CarPro EliXir (QD) - 6 seconds
- Scholl Concepts Barracuda -6 seconds
- DG 931 as a QD - 9 seconds (almost done)
- Ultima Waterless - 3 seconds
- Mystery #7 - 17 seconds (calling it done)
- Uber - 18 seconds (calling it done)
Ultima Waterless is doing surprisingly well. It's at 8 weeks and still clearing in 3 seconds. Will have to see if it outperforms DG 931 mixed as a waterless wash.

Re: Sealant comparison
Update for the Boxster and the 1 product I missed on the Rover last time. Both were washed with N-914 at 128:1 using MF towels.
Hydro Max is done. Megs Hybrid Ceramic and Hydro Blue are doing ok. Spray & Seal is doing great. Keep in mind the Boxster doesn't drive a lot of miles, is garaged, and doesn't go out in the rain. We'll see how these products do in the brutal world the Rover has to live in. For now Spray & Seal is on my short list.
Rover (video)
- Hydro Max - 13 seconds (calling it done)
Boxster (video)
- Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic - 5 seconds
- McKee's Hydro Blue - 3 seconds
- Sonax Spray and Seal - 1 second

Sealant comparison
How do you like using the bid red sponge with soap like reset? And you probably went over on why you use it with soap and not n914 somewhere.. but if you can quote or link, much appreciated!!

Seems to work well with Reset. Perhaps a little more foam than I like, but works well. No reason not to use the BRS with N-914, I just don't want to use my BRS on the wife's Boxster. I'm sure it's clean, but I use that BRS for on some nasty dirt and I a belief (maybe unfounded) that the MF towels I use for waterless are more gentle on paint than the BRS. I haven't done any testing so I can't know this.
It really comes down to convenience and speed. Using the BRS on the Rover and Sentra is fast for me, even with rinsing it for every panel. Those cars are outside, dirty, and often beyond what I would consider suitable for rinseless washing. The Boxster is almost never dirty, just a little dust.

In post 541 you mention that Ultima Waterless Wash has been on for 8 weeks, but it seems to be applied on 8/29, so actually only 3-3.5 weeks, correct?
Maybe I’m missing something or maybe you had DG 931 QD in your mind, which appeared to be at 8 weeks at that point?

Yes, thanks for the correction. Not sure how I got that wrong. As of today it's 4.3 weeks.
