All the items mentioned were fully used at least a 16 oz bottle over as many cars as that would cover. Most ranging from 3/4 -1.5 oz per application depending on the product and how it was used.



Lets see i may have more exposure than most.

On and off 1-5 1 being a pain 5 being super easy or no wiping off

Durability 1-5 is 1 month to 5 months of daily driver use in seattles winter.

Correction rated 1-3. 1 can remove wipe marring, 2 can remove light buffer trails, 3 would be a final polish correction ability.

I don`t about you but here in Ohio I have gotten 4 month of durability out of JS on my work vehicle with easy on & off and no type of "booster" wipe downs between washes.

I would rank it a 5 on 5 off (1 being hard and 5 being easy) w/ 0 correction

Others have said similar. it seems to be a hit and miss. I know as many people who have the same opinion as me as i do people who share yours.



this is how i rated them. your exp and rating may be considerably different. The sample i received of js is by now many months old. I received it last april i think. That may be part of why i don`t really care for it.

Totally agree with your findings about 1Z Glanz. Out of the others I have used in your list, none were worth even mentioning. 1Z is a great sealant. The pre-reformulated was even better.

Looks are about prep work. and very very subjective. as far as glanz it gives me similar looks to 2x fmj 1x cg559 and JW prime/JW AJ cg5050 combo`s Glanz gives me that look in 1 layer.

1Z is a great sealant. The pre-reformulated was even better.

In what way?



I tried the old formula a couple of months ago and LOVED the look on solid black. It ddn`t have the typical sealant look - even the newer ones. It had a real warm carnauba look about it without the shimmer that carnaubas give. It really darkened the paint and had great depth but less gloss than, say NXT or Megs other waxes.

It was (Imagine this) even easier to use, and had slightly better durability.......Looks were pretty parallel....
