Here`s a couple of washes I did later yesterday. I was able to see come Poli-Seal durability. I was also able to document may Armor All Foam/Gel Combo`s durability as well. The last one was a DP 4-in-1 wash. On black to boot!

This is what looks like in a month around where I live!

Tires after cleaning. You can see how well the Armor All Combo holds up!

Here`s a shot of their work truck with the AA Combo. This was done about 6 weeks ago.

Here`s the DP 4-in-1 washed Xterra. I had detailed it about a month ago with Optimum Polish then Poli-Seal which removed about 80% of all blemishes. The wash went fast and easy. Sorry for no befores. It was not very dirty since she has it done every week with me.

Give us a review of the products. I`m specifically interested in the DP tire gel as I need some new tire stuff.

I`ve done a few already. This gel is new to me so I can`t talk about durability. Goes on smooth though and uses very little product. I would purchase it if I was you.

Nice work Justin. :clap:

Are you using the Poli-Seal as your LSP as well or are you topping it with something??

I haven`t been topping it at all. I really wanted to see it`s durability alone.

Thanks Pat.

So, after a month, how would you say Poli-Seal was holding up? Still slick and looking good?

No kidding! I bet it gets the cars dirtier though-gotta take the good with the bad I guess. ;)

Nice work as always, Justin. Keep us updated on how Poli-Seal is holding up. I am closing in on the three month point now on some customer`s cars and it is looking good so far. I`m interested in seeing if it just because the weather here tends to be wax friendly or if what I am getting will be typical for the majority of P-S users.

Thanks guys.

Poli-Seal seems to be holding up very well. Even when I cut it with Optimum`s Polish. This one had only OPS and sheeted water like crazy. Washing it was very easy since nothing stuck to the finish. I`ll tell you though. Poorboy`s Polish with Sealant is giving it a run for the money though. It`s that mystery product that AutoGeek sent me!

I thought you weren`t supposed to open that until Xmas lol ....:nono

Noooooo........not the one in the box! A sample bottle was sent to me last month. Mystery all in one to tryout. I used it on that tan Explorer I did a while back.

The one AG sent me is under the tree. My wife will not let me get within 5 feet of it!

Great looking details Justin. So how did the 4 in 1 go for you? I`m waiting on the comparison with the ONR! lol!
