Hello all,
I am one in the camp who finds SG (no matter what method) a little hard to use, and was wondering if those with some experience could chime in with durability / ease of use of Autoglym extra gloss protection vs Klasse sealant Glaze.
Thanks in advance...

I`ve only used EGP a couple of times even though I`ve used their SRP for many years. About 6 weeks ago I polished with AIO then put a layer of EGP over the top. Provided you leave the EGP for about an hour it wipes off quite easily. Water beading is still excellent and I intend to redo the car with either SRP/EGP or AIO/EGP in November in the hope that this will last over the coldest winter months. Ease of use is about the same as AIO or NXT only you need to allow for the waiting time. Expect to have to wait longer in colder weather for it to dry/cure before removal.
EGP looks great on my silver car and I wish I`d started using it years ago.
Not had the chance to try SG so I`ll be interested in any comparisons also.

I find EGP extremely simple to use and has great protection and reflectivity. Just make sure you apply it thin and let it dry at least an hour.

I found EGP much easier to use compared to SG but both are good products

I find EGP alot easier to use than the SG.
Apply the EGP nice and thin to the whole car, allow to dry for 45-60 mins and wipe off. I revisted this at the weekend, and compared to the other sealants I have been using of late it leaves the surface very very slick.

I just ordered some SRP, EGP and a new product called ultra deep shine. Thanks for all of the replies. it seems like cure time is key with the egp, and I`ll be certain to pay attention to your suggestions.
As always, thank you guys... :D

I would have left the Ultra Deep Shine tbh - do a quick search it wasnt well recieved by those who have tried it.

I`ll just add I find EGP easy to use also. Though I also find SG pretty easy if I keep it thin and don`t let it sit too long before buffing.
Where`d you order the Ultra Deep Shine from?

Autopia has never limited discussions based on who the sponsors are, but we do fight hard to keep the shills and spammers at bay.

Tort... thanks.
I`m not even a professional detailer. I take care of both my truck and my father`s car, and recieve no $ from either detailing cars or selling detail products.
i bought the uds from proper auto care.

How does EGP stack up against other sealants then - ease of use, results, etc..? Does it become dusty when it dries and is buffed off?

I have found it compares well against all the sealants I have tried. The trick with EGP, as with Klasse SG is to apply very thin layers and allow an hour or so to cure.
