Which sealant after AIO? SG or Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic?

In a nutshell I'm going to be detailing my titanium silver BMW with a PC for the first time and am wondering what sealant to end with. Proper Autocare seems to recommend the Klasse AIO be followed up with Menzerna's spray on High Gloss Acrylic Shield and the simplicity of this appeals to me.



On the other hand, I've heard the SG is a real pain to work with for newbies and am really leaning toward going with the Menzerna unless someone can give me a reason otherwise?



FWIW I already own some SG and can always layer some on later...



If its relevant my process is going to be: wash, clay, wash, 3m machine polish w/ cutting pad, AIO w/ polish pad, (insert sealant here).
 
Go ahead and use the Klasse Twins just remember to put it on very thin, and if you want wait a few days and top it with a good wax and use a sealant like OS. That's what i have on my silver mazda5 and it's being about 4 months and it's still holding up very well. or use the Menzerna if you want to.
 
Apply SG thin, and let it cure as long as possible, 24 hours if you can manage. SG is much easier to remove if you let it set for a long period.
 
^^^ agreed the longer that stuff sits on there the better. I am starting to use alot of the majestic solutions stuff on my own car, I love there sealant, tried it out and it smells really nice! it really does have a shine to it, maybe its just me...



you can also go with #21 meguairs? its easier to take off than KSG, can't vouch for anything else about that product though.....
 
Actually for a silver BMW - I'd bypass KSG or Menzerna HGAS in favor of Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger.



Werkstatt Prime and Acrylic Jett are basically updated versions of Klasse AIO/KSG that IMO look deeper and wetter. As a bonus, the sprayable form of Acrylic Jett (Acrylic Jett Trigger/AJT) is as easy to use as a quick detailer but has durability that rivals KSG. Werkstatt Acrylic Jett also looks particularly good on lighter colors like silver.



Do some searches for Werkstatt AJT here on the board and you will see that Werkstatt produces outstanding results on silver.





For example check out the pictures of Werkstatt on the silver Acura here:

Or the silver Lexus here:

Thanks for the input all. That AJT sounded pretty intriguing. I did a little digging on the site, and you seem to be right Milestones, seems to garner a lot of praise from silver car owners. I just ordered some along with a few more microfibers and their car wash liquid. We'll see how it works out.
