    choose sealant or wax

    Hi guys,

    I begin my shopping to new products in my collection and I'm not sure witch choose between wax or sealant.I know the difference between wax and paint sealant is the durability.

    I had thought Souverän liquid wax or paint sealant WG 3.0. Which should I take?

    Thanks

    Ben

    To me it's a no brainer. Sealant is far superior, and does not attract as much dust.

    I have pretty much stopped using wax completely.

    You could buy both and top your sealant with a wax if you like that look.

    I would just buy some BFWD and be done with it personally.

    Re: choose sealant or wax

    Does a sealant gives a deep and shiny effect like a wax?

    collnite 845. you really won't find a better wax.

    for sealants i like 3m performance finish. honestly though collnite 845 is just a shinny on most colors.

    Pretty much agree with Ben here. Sealants. (except for indoor car show events, at times)

    If I'm not mistaken; and, by the product's description; BFWD is a sealant. I've got to try some soon (Spring)

    Hi Ben...

    Per this Mike Phillips' thread......
    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...shing-wax.html

    ......is a list/pictures of AGO's Paint Protection Products...Souverän Liquid Wax is listed as a:
    Finishing Hybrid Wax/Sealant; and, Spray-On Hybrid Wax...Not "true" Finishing Waxes, IMO/AFAIK.

    You might want to take a look at the different finishing waxes, and sealants shown below.
    BTW...WG 3.0 is an excellent sealant choice!

    Finishing Sealants





    Hybrid Finishing Waxes/Sealants





    Spray-on Hybrids


    Note:
    The Blackfire Line-up, as well as CG's, has yet to be added to this article...(HMMMM...I just may have to PM Mr. Phillips pretty soon.)


    Hope this helps some.

    IME, WGDGPS 3.0 has given me this effect. Along with incredible gloss and slickness.

    I love my WG 3.0. I put two coats on my black WRX and the shine and the slickness is amazing!
