    What is the best paint sealant? Seems that ones I am interested don`t last any longer than the Swissvax I use.

    Zaino lasts a very long time and has great gloss. Duragloss is another very popular one as are the Acrylic products from Werkstat. Don`t forget Klasse.

    I was looking at Klasse, but it doesn`t get very good reviews for durability.

    In my experience AIO is not great for durability but when topped with KSG it lasts several months. It`s been a fairly long time since I used the Klasse twins solely but I would expect at least 3 months or possibly more.

    I am curious about this too. What paint sealant do you guys use the most and which lasts the longest? Here are a few that I am looking at to get:



    1) Poorboy`s World EX Sealant w/ Carnauba



    2) Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze



    3) Optimum Opti-Seal



    but I`m open to suggestions of any other sealants that you guys think are good...



    Also, is it necessary to use sealant after polish...or can I go straight to wax without any sealant?

    IF you are looking for a long lasting sealant check out FK1000p.



    Finish Kare, Automotive, Marine, Aerospace, Mold Release Agents, Paint Contamination



    I also like Opti-seal alot, the FK 1000p might last longer but it also has to be applied and buffed off. Opti-seal you just spray and wipe and DONE!

    You can go straight to wax after polish or you can use sealant as a stand alone. The point is to have SOME kind of protection on the vehicle.

    The layering of waxes over sealants is more of an aesthetic than a necessity.

    Which ones have you tested against Swisswax? Klasse is more durable then wax.

    Meg`s M21 2.0. I get 5-6 months out of my Swissvax, I was hoping a sealant would last longer.

    Thanks for the clarification...I just wanted to make sure I wasn`t skipping an important step!



    I actually changed my mind and am now looking at buying the Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant. Does anyone have comments about this sealant? I`m just trying to narrow down my choices..

    I recommend Danase Paint Sealant. It cures almost instantly and looks great on every color I have tried it

    Where do you keep a car that gets this kind of durability with wax?
