    Which Paint sealant for my truck

    2012 F-150 Raptor, Oxford White Paint is in excellent condition I will probably go over it with Rupes Diamond ultra fine with my Rupes Mark II 15mm before I seal it.

    Ordered and just received the Wolfgang Si02 but have been looking at the Dr. Beasleys NSP Z1. Just a weekend warrior I don't know hard clear coat from soft clear coat so I want the best for this truck. I can use the Wolfgang on my wifes car and my work truck so it won't go to waste if the Z1 is a better product for this application. It is garage kept and mainly driven on the weekend. In the Mojave desert so lots sun and dry heat.

    Thanks In advance.

    Isn't NSP Z1 a coating and not a sealant? A coating is a lot more durable than a paint sealant.

    My nomenclature was incorrect, Which of those two products will produce the best shine, deepest gloss, most bad ass looking finish on the truck. Durability is not a issue for me as I enjoy working on it.

    Re: Which Paint sealant for my truck

    I've never used a Dr. Beasley's product, but I have used the Wolfgang SiO2 Sealant and really like it. The shine is incredible, very glassy and reflective. Here is what it looked like when I applied it to my neighbors Cayenne Wolfgang SiO2 Sealant on black Cayenne

    I'll also add, I like the Wolfgang product enough I'll be applying it to my own car in a couple weeks to do a winter durability test.

    White is a very hard color to get noticeable results. The best approach I've found is polishing it out to get that crisp, clean, shine and then hit it with a product which is really glossy. The color doesn't tend to show depth very well...if at all. IMO.

    For white daily drivers that see winters I like....
    - Carpro Essence
    - Cquartz U.k 3.0
    - Carpro orange pad

    Simple combo that gives a very nice, sharp, bright gloss that is very durable

    Wow, That looks amazing. I think I will go with the Wolfgang for now and top it with Collinite 845. We don't have brutal winters no snow, ice or salt.

    I read the Cquartz UK is for colder climates for the desert I would just use the regular Cquartz I assume?

    That is for application temp. Not overall daily climate.
    Cquartz U.k has a pretty wide window for application temps. I have applied it in 45-50 degree weather and it took no problem.

    No, use UK3.0.
