I got zaino as sealants, and another one bought locally, which i haven`t tried out yet. The one bought locally will go on my girlfriend`s car, which is my test car :lol but nonetheless is treated with great care. So back to the sealant topic now......i know there are acrylic ones, but aside from that i dont know much, im sure some here will be able to shed some light on this for me.



Zaino doe produce a good shine, as well as UPP, but i wonder about others......the one i have bought locally is one from UAP NAPA from BODYPRO, maybe others have used it, who knows !



Ok,i`ll get going now so talk to you`all later :xyxthumbs

I`m happy with Klasse SG I`m using now. Seems to glow, a different kind of a shine from a wax, I especially like I can add and add and add coats, proper curing between each of course, As for durability, time will tell. I do read positive things about that attribute though.

Ditto to Bill D. I use the Klasse twins on my 96 chargold grand cherokee. It looks great and wears well.

I put the Klasse twin on my mini-van over a year ago and it has held up great. Note, I did not top the roof with a wax all this time

as a test.

I like the shine I get from Zaino. It seems to work well if the color is "rich" and dark.

I think I`m going to get the twins and try them on my GF`s car.

I finished putting my 3rd coat of SG on about 6 weeks ago ago and while this is no durability test, it still looks great, beads well and is still very slick. Note that I do QD after each wash with Sonus or EO.



As Bill D said, it has its own look, a great shine with a bit of a glow. Doesn`t have the depth or wetness of a carnuba, or the pure reflectivity of Zaino (so I`ve heard). I like it so far and haven`t felt the need to top it with S100 yet.

I also got very good results with Klasse, two (?) apps of AIO and one coat of SG, about ten or eleven months. Don`t get me wrong, it was time to do it again but there still was some product doing its wonderful thing. This is by far, the longest lasting, easiest to use product I have ever come across.

Looks pretty damn good in my book! That`s only 3 coats!

Zaino is fine for shine but you still need some Hi-End carnauba to add that awesome deep showcar look.



Use Zaino or Klasse and Zymol Estate Glaze as a topper.
