Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
Hi all,
I have a new car, and wanting to "protect" it as long as possible.
I don't mind too much about "color enhancement" that carnauba does... more into "longest lasting" protection.
1) Lasts the longest between re-applications (1-2x per year)
2) Longest durability (harder to remove between washes)
3) Hydrophobic properties (ehh... don't care too much)
** I have a TON of Meguiars Xpress Synthetic wax to use (2 gallons)
** I plan on waterless wash my car 1-2x per month
So... which synthetic sealant do you think will last the longest between applications?
EDIT
Oops... forgot to add "Adams Paint Sealant" to the poll!

You missed Sonax Polymer Net Seal too.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
Duragloss 111 is probably my longest lasting sealant.
Meguiar's M21 has become my most used sealant.
Rupes 808 impressed me a lot. Lasted through the winter! I only use it when I use the Rupes System though.
I also Use Opti-Seal, but need to do some more long term testing with it.

Two that you missed- and I'd put both up against the ones you mentioned.
- Menzerna Powerlock
- Duragloss 111/601

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
(For my environment); and, in meeting
your three specific criteria; I'll suggest:
Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax, high melt polymer car wax, Finish care auto wax

X2 on the Finish Kare 1000P--so far on my daily driver it's been on 8 months and still performing almost like day one and no etching from bird bombs sitting on the car for days or etching from water marks.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
I've used a gaggle of different sealants and Duragloss 105 by far was the best at meeting your criteria.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
From those on your list, I've only used Klasse. One coat will get you 5~6 months through winter. Two coats will easily last much longer.
I'd also add Collinite 845 if you are looking for something reasonably priced and very durable.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
duragloss 105/601 combo is hands-down the most durable sealant you can buy from market. if you really follow the instructions and combo 105 with 601 perfectly you will get close to a year. I don't think any other sealant comes near to that point. some coatings, although claimed to last up to 1 year or so, even fail earlier than 105/601.
However, if you use 105 alone, at least to me, it seems the longevity is quite compromised. I will say a few months, which is still impressive.

FK1000p and DG 105 are tops on my list. I've used both for many years in the worse NE winters. They also both look great. I've actually gone from coatings back to FK1000p. Yeah, you read that right

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
I love Meguiars ultimate Wax....which is really a sealant. I put in on in the spring and fall and still have solid beading after a midwest winter.

Ah yes, that's a good one too.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
I think you need to put Collinite 476 on the list.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
on my wife's daily driver, kept outside during the day and garaged overnight, I went 10 months with FK1000p. It may have gone longer, but that's when I decided to redo it. In those 10 months, sometime in between I did one rinseless with ONRWW, and two other times I topped with FK425.

I know I posted about DG and Collinite but KSG x2 is the way to go!

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
I like Klasse longevity :). Not the easiest to apply tho.

Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
Another couple votes for collinite 476 and 845!
Years ago when I was doing dealer production detailing, we had a paint protection package that featured this "super sealant" that was suppose to last 2 years to be applied to brand new cars. I got my hands on some, properly prepped my car, and applied. I then went home and prepped my wife's car (clay, polish, etc) and applied 2 coats of 476.
After 2 months, the beading on the "super sealant" was greatly diminished, and the 476...well still going strong.
Ive also had good success with M21. And its relatively inexpensive too considering you can buy a 64oz size!

Thank you everyone for your input
I think some of the suggestions are Ceramic Coatings instead of sealants?
Klaise and others mentioned are not "ceramic" are they?
I'll probably do 3M Scotchguard myself, and though of putting ceramic on top of it might be a good idea?
Thoughts?

Everything product discussed so far is a synthetic sealant.
If you want to go the route of a coating, you really don't want anything under it so it will bond properly to the paint. Isn't Scotchguard for fabrics?
-
Re: Longest lasting Synthetic Paint Sealant for Daily Driver? (poll)
yes, as stated the coating goes on the bottom of a freshly prepped surface so it can bond properly
