Which would you choose??

03TLS · 01-07-05, 07:12

Hey I am currently looking to try out a new sealent, b/c I have gotten tired of NXT and want to try something new. This is where you guys come in. I want to know which of these sealents you would choose? I know it would be great to buy all of them but I have spent way too much on detailing products lately and my bank account is a little angry

Thanks for your help!! The vehicle which the new sealent will be used on is a NBP (Black) acura.

a black acura w/ proper prep will look killer w something like AIO/EXP or AIO/WG ive tried SG and didnt like it too much cause it can be difficult at times to use even w/ the wowo method. blackfire i heard smears too much and i had upp and didnt like it al all.

Also not sure how much it matters but i will be using PB's SSR 2.5 and SSR 1 to prep the surface.

I voted for EX-P, but since your car is black you may want to try EX, or top the EX-P with a nice carnauba.

Hey Elliot,

Would you mind elaborating on exactly why you would choose EX over EX-P?
Also whatever sealent I choose I was thinking about topping it with either s100, #16 or #26. I have also yet to make a decision on which carnuba to get

BF is awesome on black, IMO the wettest available, but thats me. It can be tricky to use, and only smears if your not familiar with it. So for a first time job, you may become a little agitated?
I dont care for EX's durability, and havent used EX-P.
Fourstar would be a great choice. Easy to use, great results......
SG, not in my lifetime.....

Well, I didn't exactly say that I'd prefer EX over EX-P, just that you may want to try it. I personally like EX-P even on dark cars because I find it very reflective and I usually top it anyway. But some prefer EX on a dark color because they feel it looks deeper because of the carnauba content.

Just offering up a different option, but since you are going to top it I personally would go with EX-P. HTH

Zaino Z5 (x2), then Z2 Pro (x2)

In this very limited sealant poll I'd defintely go with the only one I'd consider top shelf quality for durabilty, and it would also have to be in concert with it's cleaner, SG and AIO. SG can be tempromental but when finished always impresses me. I agree with Dano too Zaino is a good choice and Wolfgang is honorable mention, especially on black!

Another vote for Blackfire. But keep in mind I've only used SG and Blackfire from your list. BF looks great and is quite durable. It beads like crazy and for me it really resists crud sticking to the car. It also looks quite nice with #16 on it.

the new zaino z2 is great - only need one coat and its alot more forgiving application wise than the old z2 ie its almost idiot proof as long as your prep work is good. you cant screw it up unless you just glop the stuff on. its appears to have must tighter beading and better durability then the old if thats possible!!!
