Duragloss 111
Collinite 476
TW Ice Paste

The 156 works fine for my repeat clients
but those clinets come by once a month min.

Im looking more for my 2-3 times a year
customers who only come to me for
protection and nothing else, they are
mostly trucks and SUVs.

Yet they still insist on using a tunnel wash...

It’s too bad that the respect you tend
to show/have for your 2-3 times/year
Clients isn’t reciprocated.

I understand it, I'm the highest priced in the area but for good reason and not all can afford it but I can understand the want to still protect. So I change things where I can to try and accomplished all..well most

I bought Gyeon Wetcoat as this is a Spray on Sealant. I have recently coated 2 vehicles (Gyeon) and this product looks like a great maintenance item. I don't know how good it is yet, however, that might be something to look at too.

I will know how good Wet Coat is in about a month for normal maintenance.

FK 1000 is pretty cost effective for the amount you get which would be good for your business' bottom line. It is a thick paste sealant and it's designed for a high temp environment.

I agree with pickles, but I find FK1000 application and removal time consuming. While it is expensive, what about GEON CanCoat--seems to be very durable and very fast/easy application (and it's OK on the trim).

Here's a review from someone on Autopia: https://www.autopia.org/forums/detai...t-1-write.html

Collinite 476

I would go with something like gtechnic c2v3 liguid crystal or gyeon can coat. Long lasting sealants and good chemical resistant lsp. Maybe carpro reload could do it also. If you polish the cars also a primer polish like gyeon primer or carpro essence with a pad that takes out as much as defects as possible. Use them as an AIO/cleaner wax and be done for correction. Then apply the sealant of choice. The decon wash before you will get some attention to. Since they uses a combo of alkaline products and acid products in most carwashes. And at the end a drying product or wax. I would use a water spot remover and a iron remover and a tar remover. If necessary clay it after the decon wash. A foam bathe with a foaming product as gyeon foam or gtechnic w4 citrus foam. If it's washed in a touchless wash you maybe don't always need to polish. With a decon wash with this way you can go to apply the sealant without polishing. A panel prep wipe before the sealant makes it bonds better and ad to the longevity of the sealant.
Any silica based sealant would I use as they are more resistant to harsh chemicals.

CG Blitz is pretty strong sealant for being a spray. It really goes on more like a liquid, is thinner than a liquid sealant but thicker than a spray. Spray on a MF brick and one spray can cover a normal panel. Buff off the haze.

If time is another enemy this is a pretty quick way to spread a sealant. Much quicker than FK1000, and it plays really well on glass and chrome.

I don't know how it copmares to FK1000, but Collinite 845 would easily last 6 months for me through winter conditions and multiple runs through a touchless wash. Klasse SG was slightly less durable in the same conditions, but would still go 5-ish months.

The DG sealants should be good at standing up to touchless wash chemicals. They are easy to apply and remove. Very cost efficient. 4-6 months durability is very realistic too to meet your 2-3 times a year requirement.
