In your opinion/experience what is the best sealant regarding looks only (not looking for durability, ease to use etc...)
That's a tough call because there are a lot of sealants (and waxes) that will look great if your paint is properly prepped. I'm going to throw out a couple that haven't been mentioned yet that I always thought looked pretty good:

Poorboy's EX
(dark colors)

Poorboy's EX-P
(lighter colors)

Just curious, if durability doesn't matter, why aren't you considering waxes.

The two sealants that I currently use the most because of looks and durability (important to me) is Ultima and Zaino Z-5

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

Zaino is wierd in that sometimes it looks awesome and other times it looks plasticy like Klasse. I haven't used any of the WOWA sealants, but IME, AJT is the best for lighter and NXT 2.0 looks pretty good on darks.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

Eliotness: I mean durability is not an issue relativelly speaking (compare to other sealant) and not wax, knowing that it ll last longer (hope it makes sense...)
Do you guys have had any issue toping any of those sealants with a carnauba wax?
I taught EXP was for metalic and EX non metal... I own EXP and I wasn't amazed by its looks ...on black...that might be why.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

i can tell you EX toped with a carnuba is a great combo! EXP does nothing for me.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

When you consider the subtle differences in appearance that most people don't even notice, this stuff gets mighty subjective, and what appeals to one person might not appeal to somebody else.

That said, I *REALLY* like how UPP looks on Audi silver, for me it's just right on that paint.

And I've been *really* impressed with Zaino on white.

Interesting that nobody's mentioned FK1000P

Seems to me that when people talk about waxes they consider FK1000P a sealant. When they talk about sealants its considered a wax.
Is you is ,or is you ain't my sealant ?

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

another vote for EX, I would say its just a notch under UPGP in looks (IMHO)
