    THE best paint sealant & wax!?

    What is the best, safest, most effective Paint Sealant & Wax you can give to your vehicle?

    Also how can you tell the difference between Ceramic/Conventional clear coats and water based clear coats?

    Would appreciate the insight
    Thanks.

    1) Best is incredibly subjective. You want the best looks? Best durability? Easiest application? Best price per use? You can`t have it all, so its BEST to have a variety of waxes and sealants on hand to deliver the BEST service for any situation.

    2) It doesn`t really matter.

    Well what kind of look do you want? Do you want a reflective kind of look, do you want a warm glowing kind of look or how about a glassy look? What color is the car? Some waxes look better on darker paints, some waxes look better on lighter paints. What about durability, how long do you want it to last? What about slickness and protection? how good do you want it to repel the elements? Because if you want something that is going to be good in all those areas the best your going to get is an extra layer of clear coat on a car for over $500...

    I guess what im asking is as professional detailers what do you prefer to use?
    Not necessarily the best, but what reliable products have you had experience with that you would recommend to an owner of a detailing business.

    For me I`ve tried many brands but always come back to Poorboys products. They always deliver good results, easy to work with and costs effective.

    Best is anyone`s guess. I have to say that one of the easiest to use with a great look is BFWD.

    I`ve read about it but haven`t tried it.

    I see it`s a few dollars more but the major difference is it`s reported to last for 24 months....I suspect the Optimum No Rinse is all BS because how can a product reported to have a durability of 2 years become compromised by using an Optimum No Rinse solution?

    There`s no such thing as best. What`s the best car? Hot Dog? Pizza? Shoes? Ask a question that you can actually receive an answer to.

    Realized wasn`t the best question to ask thats why i rephrased to this.

    "I guess what im asking is as professional detailers what do you prefer to use?
    Not necessarily the best, but what reliable products have you had experience with that you would recommend to an owner of a detailing business."

    Any advice?
