    Looking for a new sealant, need suggestions

    Hi folks

    I realized yesterday that I am too low on Zaino to even do a complete coat of my car, so after finally getting my butt off the couch and claying the winter junk out of my paint, I now have nothing to protect it with.

    I have an Arctic White BMW so there isn't much gloss to be had off the paint - but when it's clean it is a nice, crisp, bright white. I found the Zaino helped keep it that way.

    I liked the protective properties of the Zaino - it lasted a long time. It was a bit of a pain to apply if you wanted multiple coats, but when the job was done I liked the results.

    I am thinking of trying something else and I would like to know what is recommended. I am looking for something long lasting and easy to apply. Your recommendations are appreciated.

    The only sealant I have used is Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0. Oh my! It is very nice, easy application and removal. I put it on my wife's car that sits outside 24/7 and got about 5 months out of it.

    Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine.

    If you want to try something different, Collinite 845 is awesome! It's not a sealant, but it is very durable and long lasting.

    Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845, liquid wax, heat-resistant wax, car wax

    I've used BFWD, Power Lock and Dg 105. All fantastic. But if I had to choose one it would be BFWD. both power lock and Dg 105 last slightly longer. But BFWD just looks so so nice.

    If you like the look of Z then you might want to consider DG (Duragloss) 105 mixed 4-1 with DG 601. Much less expensive than Z and really only requires one coat to last a good 6 months with great protection.

    Beyond that there are so many great sealants out there these days that you need to do some reading and decide what properties you like--some ideas--Sonax Polymer Net Shield, Collinite 845,476 or 915, Finish Kare 1000p, HD Poxy, Menzerna Power Lock to name just a few.

    •Since it's burdened with the:
    -"so-many-variables baggage"...It's difficult to make
    a Sealant recommendation based on Longevity.

    •However:
    -This Sealant is right up the ol' "easy-to-apply-alley"!

    Thanks everyone!

    I am now full out of Z2 so I'll do some reading and then order up my next product. Thanks again for the suggestions.
