    Re: choose sealant or wax

    if I understand there are 2 differences between wax and sealant.

    -durability(about 4 at 6 months for sealant,6 at 8 weeks for the wax)

    -better deep and gloss for the wax

    it is correct?

    The durability part is correct. But, some sealants have a candy look to them and other do have a deep glossy look to them. As Ben mentioned earlier, get some Blackfire Wet Diamond, and you will not be disappointed. Easy on and super easy wipe off. Can't beat the look compared to other sealants.

    Re: choose sealant or wax

    WDGPS gives my black car the depth of waxes I've used plus themakes my paint feel harder and slicker. Give it a try you wont be disapointed or just get the free sample with your order. I don't feel the need to top WDGPS with a wax it looks that good.

    Re: choose sealant or wax

    I have used waxes for 30 years - and never have I been able to get a candy look like I get with a sealant (UPGP). To each his own, I love the look and the ease of application:

    Re: choose sealant or wax

    Isn't it usually said that sealants give off "plasticy" look whereas waxes give off a warm glow? Also, Collinite, which seems to be a hybrid sealant-wax, can last 4-6 months.

    Re: choose sealant or wax

    If I had to choose Soveran Liquid or WG DGPS 3.0, it would definitely be WG DGPS 3.0.

    I'm a big fan of the Hybrid Paste Waxes like Fuzion, DP Max Wax, Autoglym HD etc. Collinite 845 is awesome as well.

    Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 gives a nice glow unlike many sealants. On the other end of sealants Klasse Sealant Glaze will give a great "candy coated" look.

    Pinnacle Souveran Paste gives the best "wet look" or darkening effect IMO, but it's not very durable.

    Although the differences are all so subtle that I (now) just look for a wax's ability to repel water, the polishing job done before waxing is the most important part of the "look" by far!
