All-surface sealants?

[Jason85255]

I am new to this forum.

Was looking for recommendations of sealants that can be applied to paint, exterior plastic trim, and metal wheels. Bonus if also can be used on the glass.

Primary purpose is long-lasting UV protections as I live in Phoenix.

I know CG Jetseal and m-seal will do this, but I'm just not a fan of there overblown marketing.

Any other recommendations for this type of product?

Thanks!

Opti-Seal is about as easy at it gets. it's almost hard to believe that it is that easy.

though...Opti-Coat is so simple at this point that it's hard to recommend anything but that for those who are into correction and subsequent protection.

HydrO2 by CarPro easiest thing in the world to apply as well.

Does opti-seal protect as well as opti-coat? How long does OS last?

I am considering opti-coat, but just wish they made some kind of wax to use on top as I do like doing maintenance every 3-6 months or so.

Opti-Coat leaves a WAY thicker coat and it is considered permanent, so it's much more protective than Opti-Seal. and while it is easy to apply, there is a lot of preparation and care needed because of those features.

Opti-Seal is even easier and almost brainless to apply. Optimum settled on a six month average for Opti-Seal's protection claim. it's hard to say for sure because some cars are garaged, some see a lot of sun, or road chemicals, etc.

as far as something to use on top of Opti-Coat...it's hard because the coating's purpose is to not let stuff stick very well to it. so, putting wax on it is nothing but a feel good thing because it won't last. but, people have used CarPro Reload and things like that. seems like a waste of money to me though!

On a coated car that doesn't need correction, after a year or so i like to go over it with a DA and Poli-Seal. that takes minimal time and cleans the coating up wonderfully. if there are any scratches or something that are beyond the scope of Poli-Seal, i'll correct the area and re-coat.
