Re: Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other?

UPGP. Great stuff. Very protective and durable.

Re: Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other?

I use UPGP and OS.

I find that UPGP has better durability and is easier to clean, but OS has better looks. UPGP has the nice sharp reflective "sealant" look, while OS has a wetter deeper look. I find you need about 2 or 3 layers before UPGP starts looking good, while OS looks good after 1 layer.

If I were to use just one, I'd give the nod to UPGP because of durability and ease of cleaning... nothing sticks to it! I also find it easier to apply - less streaky than OS. I always have streaks that need to be buffed off with OS. I guess I haven't perfected the application process yet

Re: Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other?

I have been using UPGP on my wife's car--first her Ford Taurus (silver green) and now her Honda CR-V (glacier blue). I am very pleased with it and am not tempted to use any other sealant on her car. It's so darn easy to use, and it leaves a nice slick look. Perhaps the car would look even better if I used another sealant, say, Blackfriar Wet Diamond (or perhaps not), but it looks good enough for me. As I said, it's just so darn easy, and I can seal the entire car, painted surfaces and plastic trim and cladding. I have also purchased the Ultima Tire & Trim Guard, but I haven't used it yet on the cladding, because UPPG is just so easy.

As you might guess, my relationship to the CR-V is somewhat different than my relationship to my S2000. With the latter, I am eager to try out all sorts of different products, but with the former, I just want something that works very well and is easy to apply. UPPG fulfills both conditions.

UPGP then Trigger. The others didn't work for me.

Re: Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other?

Thanks for the input all!

Honestly, I had been heavily leaning towards the UPGP before I started this thread, and now it looks like that's the way I'll go after all. I'll give the OS a try next go 'round, as I expand my products further.

I'm a little surprised that there's not more input or fans of the Z-CS, seeing as how large the Zaino market is.

Re: Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other?

I found it helpful to read the Directions and FAQ over at the Autopia site before first applying UPGP. UPGP was recently negatively reviewed at another site. If the user had first read, and followed, the instructions, I think he would have had better results from the product. Funny how that works.

I used OS on my boat to keep waterspots from forming. That black Mercury Engine cowling gets hot. OS does great !

Would you try FK1000p on your boat engine? I hear it holds up very well to heat too.

Since I started using it not that long ago, I have to agree, one of my favorites as well.
