Couple points:
4 Star UPP = Platinum UPP (no need to list it twice).

also, you forgot to list
Meg's #20 Polymer Sealant
Meg's NXT Tech Wax (supposedly a "sealant" by their definition)

EX-P. After one wash it was if I had never applied it.

I haven't used everything on that list and a few I haven't used long enough yet.

I have found that for me, EX w/carnauba is more durable than EX-P.

Zaino least durable hilarious, it shouldn't be on this list. Klasse shouldn't be on this list either. They are the gold standard in durabilty and a vote for either of them is comical.

I've had good experience with both and so have a lot of others; however that doesn't mean everyone has had excellent results.

Wow EXP has that many votes? Whoosh. Maybe prep is a big key since its such a pure sealant? I hope EXP+ Will address the issue.

I think that some of the problems with EX-P's durability can be attributed to the trend of putting an oily product under it (VM) and expecting it to properly bond over it. While the looks are killer, I would have to think that it's a compromise.

I used AIO as a base.

Understood, but the big thing around here for a while was VM and EX-P. There are even some online vendors that sell the combo together.
