Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
This is awesome. I particularly like how you branded and grouped them. I don't own a single modern classic and wonder what that says about me...

Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
sorry for the lazy question. What's the application for WG? orbital with Black pad? spray and wipe?

Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
WG SiO2 Paste can be with DA and finishing pad (like black). It’s a sealant, applies the same as DGPS.
I applied everything by hand for this test.

Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
Nice test. I really enjoy seeing real life torture tests like this. The WG sio2 is very interesting compared to the level of gloss it has given off in other reviews. Gloss and that level protection is a winner 100%. PNS has always been another I've wanted to try, and this test shows me why everyone gives it such high praise.
I have a new OG added to my cabinet that I plan to try VERY soon on my Jeep and it's in this test....FK1000P. I've been happy with 845, but I need to try something new.
Any good storm chasing pics? I've done some chasing in my Jeep, but always forget to take pictures.

Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
Update 07/18/2020 (1 week short of 3 months)
Pics taken from hose turn-off, then every 2-3 seconds; then final pic is after a full minute.
Note that many appear to be either barely alive (sheet at the end of one minute duration) or pretty dead (still standing water after one minute). I admit, the difference between “Barely alive” and “Pretty dead” may be only based on whether the panel has slope. Like how the roof doesn’t sheet at all after a minute. This is the disadvantage of not have one massive panel to test on. Either way, barely alive and pretty dead are both in the situation that any of us would have replaced by now.
Hood
- Still well:
1) Wolfgang SiO2
2) Four Star UPP
- Barely alive or pretty dead (takes a minute to sheet)
3) Jescar PL
4) WG DGPS
5) BF
Back Roof
- Still well:
1) Wolfgang SiO2
- Pretty dead
3D Poxy, PA MS, M37 High Def, PBL PS
Trunk
- Still well:
1) Sonax PNS
2) Wolfgang SiO2
- Barely alive (takes a minute to sheet):
3) FK1000p
4) Collinite 476
5) Collinite 845
Front Roof
- Barely alive:
1) Collinite 915
- Pretty dead:
Poorboys EX-P
Attempt at ranking based on remaining performance to this point:
- Legitimately still going:
1) Sonax PNS
2) Wolfgang SiO2
3) Four Star UPP
- We would replace, but probably still protecting:
4) FK1000p
5) WG DGPS
6) Collinite 915
7) Jescar PL
8) Collinite 476
9) BF PS
10) Collinite 845
- Barely protecting or totally dead:
3D Poxy,
PA MS,
M37 Hi Def,
PBL PS
Poorboys EX-P
I did my best, lol. And took into account that the panels on this car take the brunt of sun/rain/weather in the following order IMO based simply on angles:
Roof
Trunk
Hood

Re: Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant versus Traditional Sealants - Test!
Great test. Thanks!
Last night we had a a series of thunderstorms blow through which dumped rain on us for several hours. At one point before dark, I went out to take a quick look at the neighbors Cayenne wearing the Wolfgang SiO2 Sealant I applied back in June. Right now, despite being slightly dusty from being driven daily, the water was beading and sheeting great and didn't look much different than the CanCoat in my car. I'm pretty impressed.
