Ive had my share of products tested, but just for feed back, what do you guys like for a white SUV? Zaino did me right... some meguires were nice as well.
p21s was neat... just tryina see what other possibilities are there... whether its a sealant or wax...
oh and also, Im looking at picking up a PC so whatever is PC friendly to apply/remove. shoot, I dont even know what kinda pads I should get...lol

Are you looking for just a sealant or wax? If so I love DG 501 topped with Optimum Opti Seal

yeah, good sealant wx topper combos. my main concern is I know how dark colors do well with certain products, but I hear with white, you dont have to over do it cuz its a lighter color.
I was referred to CG pro polish or their Jet seal. another local vendor says to stick with zaino. one guy said KAIO, with the klasse high gloss sealant topped with pinnical paste, but thats big bucks..hehe..

I got a dumb question, what is the difference in a sealant vs. a wax? Also how did that Zaino look on your SUV highbl00d? My truck is white and I was thinking of going that route.

I would go with a combo of Duragloss (polish bonding agent and Total performance polish). or a couple coats of Opti-seal. well or all of the above : )

a sealant will get you around 6 months of durability (protection), a wax maybe 3 months depending on conditions.

PB Natty`s is an awesome carnauba for white. Makes cars blindingly white and its cheap to boot.

Sealants are synthetic. Waxes are natural. Sealants usually last longer, but not always.
This might help:

no that`s not it
there are several " waxes" that can outlast "sealants"
sealants are man made
waxs contain "some" natural wax

I`ve had really good results with multiple coats of Opti-Seal (which is very very very easy to apply)!

Optimum poliseal looks great on white and provides slight correction and cleaning too.

zaino looked great on my TBSS. hmm.. opti seal huh. Im also looking to stay away from hand applications... I knew I could count on autopians for help...hehe you guys are awesome...
oh and I hear sealants are durable, but shine isnt as good as a carnuba.
