Paste Synthetic or Sealant?

The Rainmaker
In typical Iowa weather I cleaned up 3 vehicles in the last two days and with the optimistic forecast, I had expected to go into the week-end looking good.
I don't know exactly how, but they now say that they missed the disturbance that gave us another 1/2" to 2" of snow last night. So far, 2 of the 3 are messed up already and the 3rd will be out soon.

Anyway with my frustration, I try to keep busy thinking about something other than the weather and....

With the popularity of paste waxes, a question come to my mind. (lots of room in there)
Does anyone make a paste sealant? I think the 3M Showcar paste had some synthetic wax in it, but the durability evidently isn't in the true sealant league.
I'm not looking for one, just wondering. By tomorrow I will forget all about it.:)

Charles, there is the new Meguiar's NXT Paste that they released this year. Haven't used it, as I am using 4 * UPP.

:doh
Since I still consider the NXT Tech Wax a wax and not really a sealant, I didn't even think about their new paste version.

Isn't Pinnacle Signature a mixture of wax and polymers - does that count as sealant?

That I don't know, but it sounds a lot like the same type of product as the 3M Showcar Paste Wax.:dunno
I was thinking more along the lines of 4 Star UPP, Poorboy's EX-P, Klasse SG or Zaino type of pure(?) sealants.

I remember Steve from Poorboy's saying he talked to his chemist about a paste sealant with the verdict being that a true sealant could not be in paste form.

Not recommending you use it but isn't Nu Finish a paste sealant?

I think you are right. I have always considered NuFinish a sealant based on what I have read. Their literature says it doesn't contain wax, but that only tells you it doesn't contain wax according to the manufacturer.:)
I wasn't aware that Nu Finish was available in a paste until today. :doh
I know someone that used to use the liquid and he felt it was a great product. :dunno
It certainly isn't very expensive if some of you want to try it and comment. :D

So far that's one probable, (Nu Finish), and one possible, (NXT Tech Wax).

How then would you catagorize PB Wheel Sealant. Isnt this solid/paste? I havent used it so I dont know for sure but the container leads me to believe its paste/solid.
 
Poorboy's Wheel Sealant has the consistency of pudding. I was expecting a paste and was surprised to open the jar and see it was not at all solid.
 
Even so. It is a sealant that is not liquid. Interesting!!!

If it does contain wax then could it really be effective as a wheel sealant.
