Which WOWA Sealant: UPGP, OS, Z-CS, JW Trigger, other? - Page 4

Call AJT what you want but it takes no longer to do a car with it than a WOWA.

But you have to remove AJT, maybee not much but you still have to remove some small residues.

For me it works in and away with a few wipes. Nothing to remove.

I agree with that.

I agree. It's kindof like a quick detailer with 6 month's durability!

Ok, I have now tried UPGP (in addition to Opti-Seal and AJT).

I am extremely impressed with UPGP! I used it on my yellow Mazda Protege 5. It is better in pretty much every way (I can't comment on longevity/protection yet obviously).

Ease of use is simply spectacular. Easiest product that I have ever used, bar none. It applies much easier and more evenly than OS (and I always maintained that OS was easy to use)! It is easier to use than AJT as you don't have to buff after spraying. Just apply to the supplied pad and spread.

The looks are fantastic as well. Very, very wet and glossy, with good depth as well.

Also, the slickness is better than OS and much better than AJT.

At least for yellow, UPGP is now my favorite sealant.

I will try it on Silver next.

Interested to hear your opinion. Are you applying it to bare paint or are you using the Ultima primer?

It will look good on silver, though I'd bet a wax would look better.

UPGP is the most blingy initially, but as OOS cures, it closes up in appearance.

Bare paint, after clay, Menzerna SIP, 106FF and IPA wipe down.

I've always preferred the looks of sealants on Silver. The only two colors that I have preferred carnauba on are black and red.

What's funny is that about 40 minutes after applying UPGP I said to myself "man, this is pretty disappointing stuff, Opti-seal definitely looks better". Then I caught myself and realized that it needed a lot more time to cure before I could make a valid judgment (and I knew that from using Opti-Seal).

Well, about 9 hours later, the looks of the UPGP changed dramatically for the better. It really does look great. It's always hard to make a direct comparison from memory, but the UPGP does seem to have a bit more gloss, wetness and depth to it than OS, at least on my yellow paint. It surely isn't night and day by any means, but I do believe that there is a difference.

We will see how it holds up.

I got a black Lexus non-metallic. Which one would give a better look as in wet deep and glossy or like a wAx would give? Ultima or optiseal?

I have just used UPGP on bare paint without UPP and get excellent results. Will last 4-5 months east with three coats applied 24 hours apart to cure.

Who knows, maybe I would get another month with UPP, but works great without it.
