He he, I`ve done the same, it was the first sealant I bought, Yeah ,pretty good but I`m betting if you want to go store bought any of the Meg`s sealants are even nicer

You might want to do a search on it and read some of the older posts from the archives. We`ve talked about it before.



Kind of an old skool sealant, light cleaning ability, similar to Finish First, Meguiar`s #20, Duragloss, Klasse AIO.

I still use it as a sealant for my main seasonal detailing. Topped with S100 on my white Grand Cherokee, I can`t imagine a much nicer look, and the durability seems great (although regular S100 applications make it hard to determine which is to credit).



Definitely recommended for the price range and OTC availability. :xyxthumbs

IMHO for similar and less expense you can get better polishes, waxes and sealants, I would look and see which brands are mentioned here on the forums most and pick from those

I can`t comment on it`s value as I not used other brands of sealant but for me it worked very well. I purchased it a few a few years ago and used it on my vehicle and boat.



The finish on the black vehicle seemed to last about 2 months before it a new application was required. I thought it would last longer from the marketing so I was a little dissappointed. (I know now that I didn`t properly prep the vehicle so that may have been a contributing factor.) The finish was very slick and reflective and the colored deepened after applying the second coat but I saw no improvement adding more coats on top of that.



This stuff was amazing on my boat. I applied 3 coats to the hull at the beginning of last summer and when I took the boat out of the water (fresh) almost 5 months later water was still beading on the sides and stern. It reduced the water-line staining significantly as well when compared to previous years using boat wax.

I agree with Brett. There are better polymers out there that use the lastest techology. Finish first is appears to be abrasive and can`t really layer. I would keep it for the boat and find something else for the cars! I have good luck with nu finish too on my boat....it really lasts on the gel coat.

Looks like it does decently, compared to the other sealants reviewed here. Higher than NXT and only Blackfire, Platinum UPP, and the Zainos rate higher--and those only by half a star.



But experimentation is half the fun. When my LG is out, I`ll probably try Blackfire or AIO.



The S100 topper remains the key, as far as I`m concerned. That one`s sticking around.

It does a nice job but when you run your finger across the finish it will leave a haze track.
