A UK version of the sealant test

OK guys, time has pasted, we have seen one of the coldest and longest periods of weather since 1986, apparently.....



Review, 12th January 2009:



The last review was start of Nov, and today was a huge task just to wash the horsebox, I used over 175 litres!



Test orignally started 10th Sept, with second group added 18th, week later. Reviews took place at 8th Oct and 1st Nov 2008.



After 4 months, the following sealants are still protecting the paintwork:



Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection

Chemical Guys: M-Seal, Jetseal 109, Speed Amor

Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze

Hi Temp Paste

Zaino AIO, Z2 and Z5

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant.



So there you have it, my final list of what lasted four months in very extreme conditions too.



I am sorry to say I shall not be conducting any further reviews, the time is no longer available. Due to the amopunt of failures and the appearance of the horsebox there is also now a need to get it all stripped back and restored to its previous glory.



Thank you to everyone who has followed this, and I hope it has proved as useful to you, as it has to me.
 
I'm skeptical of some of those claims. Many claim KAIO lasts for just a few weeks and I've seen pics where Jet Seal quite beading quickly too. Oops-I misread that, that was KAIO/SG as a combo. That should last 4 months. Jetseal is surprising tho.
 
I use Wolfgang and love it. But I'd like to get some Opti-seal for the other cars I do that require a quick turn around (IE My girls, her sisters, her grandparents)
 
Very Skeptical. Some claim UPP and Opti Seal last for months but was quite surprise it does not last as it is. Same for DG105, it last me about 6months maximum. Anyway thanks the test done.
