I`ve uses carnuba all my life and really would like to try a sealant on my car. It`s a daily driver and i feel the added protection may be worth what little depth i`d loose with my normal SEC and s100 combo.
The car is a Hellrot (RED) BMW m3. The two top contenders for me seem to be SG and UPP. Wich one should i go with for my red car, and what doyou recomend for prep before the sealant goes on?

Buy AIO / SG. Check it out. Make sure not to use any GEPC in the process.
Let us know how ya like it, I think you will love it :)

I think Poorboy`s Polish w/carnauba and EX Sealant look great on red and I`ve had good durability results with Poorboy`s products. The currect EX sealant also has carnauba in it, but the pure sealant version of EX (aka EX-P) will be out pretty soon.
PwC/EX will give you the carnauba look you like with good (based on my experience) durability.
I also like Meguiars NXT, but it hasn`t been out long enough to know how durable it will prove to be. Meguiars #20 topped with their #16 Pro Paste Wax is another combo I am testing for durability. Check back in 3 months or so... ;)
You can`t go wrong with the Klasse Twins or AIO/SG/UPP either.

I have used AIO with UPP on top with great success on red cars. But as others have said, AIO+SG isn`t bad either.

Thanks to forum recommendations....I followed these steps on my SS & am very happy with the appearance. AIO,DACP, SMR/dark,AIO,SGx3,UPPx2.....It`s not red but it`s deep & glossy.

I really like PwC and EX on my red truck, but I always end up topping it with S100.
I`m a big carnuba fan too :xyxthumbs
I love the EX topped with Poorboys paste wax. I don`t have experience with other combos.

Do you guys think i would get good results with AIO/UPP/s100 on red?

Sure, although I don`t think S100 would add as much as Souveran when used over UPP since S100 is bright and reflective like UPP. Souveran has a somewhat deeper look.
PwC and EX is the most user friendly combo, btw.

Will that give me about the same results as UPP? What exactly is PwC? Poorboys with carnuba?
