Looking for moderately priced carnuba/sealant...

im looking for some products as stated above in the title.

so far i have been using blackfire all finish paint protection, but am looking to switch it up to get a good base of products. Ive been looking for a while for a good carnuba, but not ruling sealants out, for around 15-to 40 $ or so depending on how good it is. Beading and durability are factors, but not necessities.

heres a list of products that have caught my attention
Prima-Banana Gloss
Prima-Epic
Adams-Buttery Wax
P21s-Carnuba
Fk-1000p synthetic paste
Fk-pink wax
Pinnacle signature- @ 2 for 50$
Opti-seal- the new spray stuff, heard mixed reviews so far
Collonite-915 or 8xx
Danase-Classic wax 8oz
Clearkote-carnuba moose wax

zymol or zaino product?

any other suggestions? also possibly a good synthetic under a carnuba combo for better protection? sorry for all the wide range here, just trying to get a grasp on all these products.

collinite 845...cheap...one bottle will last you for a VERY long time...and performs equal better than most.

Another vote for Collinite, but I pefer the 476S/885 paste.

One vote for Zaino, love the stuff!

I like s100 (although its not on your list, its very similar to p21s, if not exactly the same and is cheaper.)

Also dont throw out meguiars mirror glaze waxes, M26 is nice, so is m21.

both are great and one tin will last you a long time...

p.s. one flat rate of $4.99 per order no matter how big or small it is, can't beat that...

Agreed.....

thanks for the replies, seems like a lot of people like the collonite 885 paste, i have a few questions about it. Hows the beading? Durability i hear is good. Also is it a carnuuba? How does it look on silver depth/reflective wise?

The fk is appealing b/c they have virtually everything. and the paste comes in 15oz tins, but to those who use it, how is the beading and durability.

To 9935, which zaino do you recommend?

Also i was curious about the s100, because it looks like p21s but idk the story.
Meguires has so many products it becomes confusing and didnt think their stuff was up to par with the rest of my suggestions.

another question, would anyone recommend a sealant such as poli-seal or klasse under one of the carnubas or just stick with 1 step, also layering?

I vote for Natty's Paste Wax - Blue or CMW .....

Carnauba Moose. Opti-Seal is good too and you can use it as a base for CMW or use it over it (once CMW cures 24 hours). Pink Wax is pretty good too.

My vote would be for Collinite 845 and P21S. Collinite has bullet proof durability and P21S has great all around looks with respectable durability.

sweetlou · 09-01-08, 06:06

is collonite carnuba based? i dont imagine it would have a lot as everyone claims its really durable. if it was carnuba based, wouldnt layering p21s be unnecessary?

seems like everyone suggests different things haha, but based on suggestions and reviews i plan on getting a tin of the 885, the demo type package from fk and maybe one other carnuba. Perhaps some klasse as a base coat, or should i just use the collonite as a base coat?
