    Product with the wax glow and sealant longevity?

    I need help with a new product. I am looking for a LSP with wax like glow but sealant longevity. I currently have dodo juice Purple Haze pro and blue velvet which I love the way the combo really makes the metallic stand out in the paint.

    any recommendations that would give me that look but be a little bit more durability?

    my current LSPs m21, m26, megs gondolas paste, dg105 and 111 along with the doo doo juice waxes

    You might want to give the Collinite waxes a try they are notorious for lasting with a "wax look."

    Meguiar`s High Tech Yellow Wax #26. This is a beauty wax but longevity is usually about a month. However, if used with Meguiar`s Ultimate Quick Wax, you can extend it`s protection for a few more months. UQW a.k.a. Synthetic Express Spray Wax, "D156" in their detailer lineup, is a wowo product that can be applied to paint, glass and trim and it takes less than 15 minutes to do my SUV after a wash. The Spray wax is actually a sealant but it does not alter the glow of the M26. IMO, this is a hot combo.

    I will look into it. How does it compare to the dodo waxes, which I love?

    I have used those and like the m26, but I the dodo is absolute love on the paint. The UQW is a staple for me along with aquawax.

    I don`t use anything on the dodo as I don`t want to temper or cover the look.

    Since you like the dodo line, this is what your looking for. Look of a wax, but sealant durability. I had a coat of this on, and found it to be a great look but with durability.

    I have looked at that, but have been hesitant since it seems similar to the Pro waxes which are termed hybrids.

    BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax 3 oz.

    Would also give that look. And as mentioned above, 845 would also.

    Re: Product with the wax glow and sealant longevity?

    Hmm.... This is always a tough request.

    Colli 845 IMO is the wax winner for durability but I find it to be a little "shiny" really making the paint pop but not giving that nuba glow some are looking for.

    There are 3 sealants that come to mind when I think of "close" to nuba glow. (BFWD , WG DGPS, 4* UPP) I think WG DGPS has better durability and looks good, but 4* UPP gave me the most nuba look. BFWD is a great sealant but due tot he cost increase I would use Menz PL as it is very similar.

    I hear ya, I like the shine and durability of sealants, but the wax just gives distinction to the metallic.

    The sealants just give it almost a hazed look in direct sunlight.

    Another vote for BLACKFIRE BlackIce on your tuxedo black Taurus. I`ve got a great deal on an "open box" jar if you`re interested. (someone opened the jar and rubbed their finger on the surface of the wax at a car show, so we can`t sell it as new)

    Re: Product with the wax glow and sealant longevity?

    Out of the LSP’s I’ve tried, I’d strongly recommend the following three:

    Klasse All In One + Sealant Glaze is the hardest of the three to apply/remove and requires layering to get the full effect but looks the best and lasts the longest. When I say looks the best it`s subjective but I`ve gotten the most compliments with Klasse on my SRT and my fellow detailers agree that it`s slightly better looking than my current LSP (Blackfire Wet Diamond topped with Midnight Sun)

    Collinite 845 is the easiest to apply/remove because there’s only one product to apply/remove. I really had my doubts about this product, but it holds its own against the other top LSP costing many times more. I`ve been using it on my wheels and roof and the beading is phenomenal.

    Blackfire Wet Diamond + Midnight Sun is in the middle when it comes to application and removal because the Wet Diamond is so incredibly easy to apply/remove but the Midnight Sun isn`t as easy to buff off as other wax`s I`ve tried. The final look is great but didn`t last as long as Klasse or Collinite so I placed it third. I defiantly would use this combo the day before a car show but on my daily driven SRT it just lacked longevity I need to maintain the look I want.

    I`ve tried a few LSP`s:
    • Mothers FX SynWax, looks great doesn’t last long
    • Chemical Guys 50/50 Concours Paste Wax, doesn’t look great and didn’t last long
    • Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax, looks good but doesn’t last
    • Klasse AIO + Klasse SG, looks incredible and lasts for months
    • Blackfire Wet Diamond, looks and feels incredible, but doesn’t last as long as Klasse
    • Blackfire Midnight Sun, not a fan of the smell, but it looks good and doesn’t last long
    • Collinite 845, looks amazing beading is incredible, durability is about the same as Klasse
