I`m always wanting to try new stuff and use the best that I can find, or get my hands on. As of now Im using Menz FMJ and slowing backing off Klasse. Well Im almost out of klasse, and have a lifetime supply of FMJ. I love FMJ for its slickness and shine, but Im wondering if it really lasts as long as they say, same goes with Klasse.



My question to you all is should I stick with my line up of FMJ and Klasse, or should I get something else? Im looking at the autoglym extra gloss protection, some sort or zanio or what else give a good shine and LASTS in HIGH UV enviorments like Lousainia and Texas, my cars are outside 24/7 and I keep them clean and try to do a light polish and sealant about every 2 months, with a quick fmj monthly if I remember. So whats going to protect my paint the best?

If you`ve got a lifetime supply, I`d just stick with what you`ve got. I did the whole "I wanna try this and I wanna try that" for a while and now I`ve got way too much and I wish I would have just picked something and stuck with it. I`ve used FMJ once, and it did look nice and was easy to use. If you`re worried about it`s durability, then just apply it more frequently. It`s so easy to use that once a month shouldnt take too much time and you`ll always have a fresh coat on the car.

There are a lot of products that I want to try these days, but am holding off because I have 14 different waxes and sealants, and only maybe 3 or 4 of which I use on a semi-regular basis (at least once every 2 or 3 months). In addition to costing me a lot of money, they are taking up space.



Find a solid product that you like, and stick to it (my "drugs of choice" are OCW and 845 IW).

Zaino claims to have very good UV protection. You can use CS over KAIO or FMJ. Z2pro is the longest lasting Z product.

Just use what you have and get some UPGP or Opti Seal to put on another long lasting layer or two.

Both are very very quick to apply and give a really good finish.

I`d gladly relieve you of some FMJ if you want :)

I always liked FMJ..Super easy to use. No, I don`t think, in fact I know it doesn`t last as long as the claim of 6 months. The key words of course are "Up to 6 months." Those 2 liitle words are used often in marketing car care products. My test showed 3 months solid on top of a well prepped car. If you want it to last longer, get some Polycharger, should do the trick.

I`d use both sealant and wax. It gives it a great deep look. Use a QD to keep both lasting a long time. Did you like the FMJ? I didn`t think it lasted that long, for all the hype it got. Between that, jetseal 109 and wolfgang DGPS. The wolfgang I liked the best. Espeacially topped with a nuba. I just purchased the souveran paste on AG as a buy 1 get 1 free deal. Never tried it before, but couldn`t pass on that deal. The PS21 100% was a great topper, can`t wait to try the souveran paste.
