Best paint protectant for long lasting easy to clean finish

[tguil]

OK --- I'll at least mention it --- NXT.

I have applied NXT to my black Dodge Hemi and it is holding up very well. I drive on 10 miles of dusty gravel roads every day. I does not attract all that much dust. I wash my truck with Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash and dry it with waffle weave microfiber towels. I notice no streaking after a wash. I have quit using a QD and have had less problems with dust.

I have not had a problem with swirls or micromarring with the NXT.

NXT has a lot of hype behind it but the darned stuff seems to work

Maybe I'll try Menzerna, Liquid Glass, Klasse or one of the others suggested. The problem of course is the lack of consensus, so what do I buy if I don't buy them all? I have Zaino and Blackfire at home. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I don't think you'll ever find a consensus on which protectant is best. That topic will always be open for debate. But, in your original post you said you wanted a product that is both long lasting and easy to clean. Again, I would say Zaino is best for long lasting and, from my experience, FMJ is great for easy cleaning. Zaino is definately not as good for easy cleaning. I found that road salt and other contaminents would stick to the paint and be difficult to remove when I had Zaino on there. But with FMJ, the car cleaned up with easy. I recently buffed my car and put 2 coats of Blackfire on there. I don't know how easy it is to clean because I havn't had to wash it yet. I'll let you know in a few days when it gets dirty. Ive also never tried any of poorboys poducts, but from what I hear they are great too.

have worked at auto dealerships......the dealership uses Simoniz System 5...and is the only company that has authorization to used Teflon with their products...the dealer says that once the sealant is applied, it keeps on curing, which creats a bond...some claim that in order for Teflon to bond, it must be heated to very extremely temperature...but I suppose, is Dupont for the sake of making a few dollars allowing Simoniz to use a mixture of their material and for them to get a bad rap? Many companies out there claim to have Teflon with their sealant....Per my response on my email to Dupont, indeed they responded that Simoniz is the only exclusive company in the USA and Canada in which they have an agreement with.
