What is the best sealant for looks only

I just tried some cg jetseal and was not impressed with the looks of the car.
In your opinion/experience what is the best sealant regarding looks only (not looking for durability, ease to use etc...)

UPGP gets my vote. WOWA (wipe on walk away) Takes 10 min. to do the entire car.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

I think Opti-Seal looks great (similar to UPGP) and it takes minutes to apply.

NXT2 also looks really good, definitely one of the best sealants on black paint.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

I found Wolfgang and its similar sealants to offer a really great look, but not much else (durability, protection, etc)...really easy to use too. If I didn't need more from a product to protect my daily driver, I'd probably use it for its looks alone.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

I think it depends on the color of the car, I have two silver cars and i really like AJT on them. It is also very easy to use.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

i give nxt2 another vote, especially for the money. 13 dollars at target or walmart and the bottle will last a while. Looks good and blacks and blues from my experience.

Re: What is the best sealant for looks only

I really like Opti-Seal as well.

I'll be trying UPGP this weekend, so I'll keep you posted.

UPGP for silver--definitely. Goes on so easy that durability really isn't a concern

Yup, those two get my vote as well, but as of lately OS is my fav, less work and looks just as good !
