7 Wax/Sealant Durability Shootout(muliple pics)

[aboveclean]

Hello,
The horizontal test panel is from a Black 2007 Jeep Wrangler.
The Jeep is driven 70miles a day Mon-Fri
I plan on washing the test panel once every Sunday for 3 months, reporting back every month.
I live in Southwestern Virginia were today it was low to Mid 40's at 12:30pm.

Prep
Washed with Optimum No Rinse
Clayed the Test Panel
Quick polish with 7424/Menzerna Final Polish
Finish was squeaky clean to the touch

Products
Chemical Guys Jet Seal 109
Chemical Guys Top Coat
Chemical Guys 50/50
Chemical Guys Factory Sealant
Collinite 476S
Optimum Car Wax
Pinnacle Souveran Paste


I ran a non-protected "Control" strip across the center of the panel, where each product is adjacent to a portion of a non-protected surface. A light to moderate rain came 5 hours after applying products.







5 hours later after a light natural rain. It was dark so a Flash is used.







I will hand wash every Sunday from today and will check back in a month.

Wow! Nice test. It is hard to tell from the pics, but which one gave you the deepest, darkest look?

That is cool. Looks kind of funny but really cool how you can see the difference from one to another.

With the lighting conditions today I really could not tell a difference between them. If I had to pick one it would be 50/50.

Yes.........from the pictures I liked the 50/50. But it's hard to tell by a picture. Iv'e been knockin around puting 50/50 overtop OPS. Seems like that would be a good combo. I still have time to figure what I will out on my black boxster as it won't see the light of day for another month or so. Welcome any suggestions............I have been a long time Zaino user.

Love the variety of beading!

pretty cool how you can see each section divided in the beading pics.

Great test, thanks! I'm interested in how JetSeal stacks up. That CG-FS didn't look like it was beading very much, was it sheeting the water off?

[ricka]

I think this backs my belief that outside of the beading, the appearances are remarkably similar--even the control panels looked great compared to the lsp's. To me, its all about ease of application and removal. Sometimes I think the eyes justify our purchases to make us feel better.

Nice test btw.
