2021 WOWA Sealants?

[Dan]

Anytime I hear of it, it’s in conjunction with Collinite 845.

Which nullifies any claims to durability. 845 is just awesome on its own. If I could find a WOWA version I`d be all set.

I just applied some OG Optiseal to my ML late last week. Man is is nice and glossy and wet. Just looks so good for so little effort. Definitely a level of wetness that I don`t get with all the spray sealants I`ve been using lately.

That`s what I liked most about OS. Really nice glossy wet look.

Ah! Nice and deep wet looking like carnauba?

If you can get past the fact that OS isn`t the most hydrophobic or longest lasting, it`s still a nice sealant. Hyper-Seal is definitely more hydrophobic, lasts longer and also produces an incredible glossy wet look. It won`t produce the best beads and I highly doubt it will last a year IMO.

I do my best to keep sounding the horn RE: Mckees Hydro Blue Pro in these small circles. Since I discovered it, I haven`t used any of my former WOWA arsenal (Zaino Z-CS and Optiseal old formula).

Even less work than WOWA, "spray on, rinse off to apply" saves me so much time. Older, less time, more toys, I use it on all my friend`s cars. They can`t tell the difference and between biweekly Shell touchless car washes and Toronto winter, I typically only hand wash my fleet twice a year.

Obviously not for the crowd that chases 99% perfection year round, but even through winter, I`m seeing easily 6+ months, and after a full year, while the beading is long gone, the self-cleaning along with the tunnel touchless wash chemicals, I`m seeing 90% clean with remarkable dirt-release even on the lowest and high-traffic areas behind the wheels. Easier to use than most boosters required for true ceramics.

Not expensive either, and I`m on my second gallon of the pro version (twice a year, multiplied by 9-12 vehicles, +all my lawn/snow equipment + 600sf of floor-to-ceiling and wrap around glass railings at my condo).
The most abused vehicle being my 03 4Runner with 270,000miles, parked year round outside, daily driven, looks damn good after a heavy spring rain coming out of winter.

Life-saver in my fleet.
Second place goes to ONR/N914.
