I really enjoyed Blackfire Crystal Seal. Very easy to use and I`d do two coats at times for a very slick and shiny finish. It lasted half decent too. RIP BFCS...

You here alot from manufacturer’s (mckee’s, optimum) about synergy with products and although i do think sometimes their is a design/system that may work better than a single component you can mix and match as you wish.
I, no matter if it is synergistically better, cannot/will nott use just one or two brands.

UPGP has always been the best beader and probably the most durable, however you can have a hood full of beads and then open your hood and the beds will sit there. I always thought it had terrible roll off sheeting capability.
Optiseal is probably the easiest to use. I like the M37 10 min one the best right now.
I think you would need to wipe down the car with any of them. Not like you are removing sealant or wax. It just a buffing wipe that it needed to remove any high spots.
Disclaimer - These are semi-educated guesses:
- WG is likely water based as their DGPS and other products boast being water based. It’s their “thing”. There’s also this text on the website description which may support? “There are no chemical cleaners, abrasives or harsh solvents used in this formula, so there’s no possibility of dulling or clouding paint”
- McKees I just used the other day after this thread and it has a strong chemical odor. Seems to be chemical based. I’m not sure I’ve ever used a SiO2 product that appeared to be water based except possibly some siloxane sprays. I’m guessing water wouldn’t mix well as the sole carrier for SiO2.
