12 Panel LSP Durability Test. Weekly Updates
So I decided to do a 12 panel LSP test. I am using a bumper from a pontiac grand am for this test. The bumper was washed then clayed with ClayMagic Blue. After it was prepped I Used the PC7346 And OPT Compound II via 5.5" orange flat (speed 6). Then followed that up with OPT Polish II via 5.5" White Flat(speed 4.5). Finished with Menzerna PO85RD via 5.5" gray flat(rotary). the bumper has a ton of etched in bug guts that would not come out they are past the clear coat and into the basecoat there is no helping it. However, it will do for the sake of a durability test. After polishing was done i did a prep wipe down with some mineral spirits and taped up the panel. The Following Waxes And All In One's were tested; Optimum Car Wax, Xmt360 Spray Wax,Xmt360, Optimum Poli-Seal, Meguiars A1214 Cleaner Wax, Meguiars Nxt 2.0, Meguiars Gold Class Plus, Meguiars Mirror Glaze #20 Sealant, Meguiars Mirror Glaze #16 Paste Wax, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, Wizards Shine Master(fresh paint safe "sealant"), And Finally Collinite Insulator Wax #845. I will go on to say this bumper will remain outside 24/7 and is in an area where there is sun through some of the day. It will be washed Once a week using XMT soap. Now On To the pictures.
Before We Get Started On The Important Pictures I Will Show a 50-50 Of The 3 Step Polishing. The white line marks where I used xmt360 via white flat before polishing to show what it can do(was 3 passes medium pressure like i would do for an AIO detail).
Products Used:
Test Panel Going from Left To Right
Hope this thread helps others in decisions to buy certain waxes!, once i get more waxes i will add more places. I have the bottom of the bumper with no polishing or waxing done to it as the control of this test.

That's great. Thank you for taking the time to do that, and do it right. By spring time it will give me hard data on what to use on my car. Big thumbs up! Spiney
Learning to detail for fun and to show my 96 Ford SVT Cobra, Black. My dad always said I was going to wax the paint right off my car. Would wax every weekend. GG 6" DAP

My money is on Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant!
That stuff won a sealant test a couple years back I saw on another site.

I believe the results are going to be close to this, but if your looking fot durability its already known colli waxes along with DG, fk1000p and klasse are on the upper tiers.
