Did a search on this and couldn't find anything in this part of the forum or the detailing products discussion..

Wanted to know your opinion on Over all the best sealant to use as far as

Glossyness and Slickness (The best you've seen as far as looks deep wet look)

Durability and long lasting (The Longest Lasting and best protection against elements)

Application and Layering (Easiest to apply, even by hand and also how easy does the product layer as well as the cure time?)

Quantity and Price (How much of it do you get for the price$$. The more for less $$ The better):D

Appreciate all your input and opinions on this just don't know what Sealant I should get and will def. be picking up a bottle of Sealant after I see some opinions...
Thanks.

This one is easy.
Compare price and durability plus gloss and
DG-105 wins hands down

If you are willing to pay more then several looks good but for the guide lines that you laid down it is 105 :bigups
 
Glossyness and Slickness (The best you've seen as far as looks deep wet look) Four Star UPP. I would have to put Duragloss 105, Zaino Z2 Pro and NXT 2.0 in the mix as well.

Durability and long lasting (The Longest Lasting and best protection against elements) Collinite (even though it is a wax) and Zaino Z2 Pro.

Application and Layering (Easiest to apply, even by hand and also how easy does the product layer as well as the cure time?) Most any of them are easy to apply.

Quantity and Price (How much of it do you get for the price$$. The more for less $$ The better):D Duragloss 105 (practically anything DG makes)
 
Glossyness and Slickness (The best you've seen as far as looks deep wet look)
FK1 1000p Hi Temp, DG 111

Durability and long lasting (The Longest Lasting and best protection against elements)
FK1 Hi Temp 1000p, DG 105

Application and Layering (Easiest to apply, even by hand and also how easy does the product layer as well as the cure time?)
FK1 Hi Temp 1000p, after it is wiped off it can be layered or topped

Quantity and Price (How much of it do you get for the price$$. The more for less $$ The better)
AS noted anything from Duragloss, FK1 Hi Temp is priced right as well
 
Klasse high gloss sealant glaze, for slickness, layering, and durability. Would like to try FK1000, I have pink wax and and #425 and they are among my favorites.
 
Thanks for your input guys...


After doing some debating and looking over everyones input in this thread I think I am going to go with.....

DG 105


Based on my guidelines I have set out it seems to be an easy choice as blackbart said...


And my reasoning for choosing this over the others is because....

Suposedly, 105 Is excellent and is the newer version and much better looking, while 111 is the old style that was kinda plasticky looking like the old Zaino. Durability is right there with full Zaino prep and Klasse SG.t the DG105 has some/more cleaning ability than DG111(which i think is more of a 'pure sealant' with little or no cleaning ability).
This seems to be the majority here as well, the only other one is probably the UPP four star or FK1000 which I may pick up and try later on when I run out or if I ever want to switch but this seems to be more of a paste wax if I am correct?...

btw... does anyone know the best place to pick-up some DG 105?


Thanks again for your help guys, appreciate it.

Dura Gloss recommends using the #601 Bonding Agent prior to the #105.
I have been doing that when using the #105, but really don't know if it is necessary or if it is even of any value.
The 601 is pretty economical and requires very little time and effort to add it to the process.
Might be worth considering when you purchase the #105.
While you are at it, you just as well get the Aqua Wax,too. :)

Duragloss is available from DC or AG or direct from DG site.
Shipping from DG is a flat rate of $ 4.95 no matter how much you order.
I would suggest that you also buy the FC&S and the AW.
Anyone who has used AW will tell you it is a very good product it will add gloss and is durable.

Thanks alot Charles, you're the man:bigups, you seem to be having all the answers to my questions in the threads :)...


I will take a look at the 601 bonding agent and an aqua wax, although I do not want to spend too much on all this, I want to keep the costs as low as I can while getting the most I can get (Value).
Mainly i'm wanting something that looks awesome (deeper and wet look) while lasting a really long time, paint doesn't seem to be beading too well after some rain like it should...


But where can I pick up all these products?!! lol :D

Some of the DC sponsors have a discount code, but I'm not aware of any discount code from Dura Gloss. The code "10-25" is not one I am familiar with at all.
Try it, all they can do is say no. :D
 
I bought some duragloss products and the 10-25
code was ok at that time, try it out they should
honor it. they seem to be a good company, i talked to
bill who is co owner with his brother, he's a pretty
nice guy, he told me to use the 10-25 code on my
phone in order. I will be buying more products in the
near future. I used duragloss #105 on both of my
silver cars and they came out great, very glossy.
I received some samples of the car #901 wash soap,
this stuff is fabulous I will be buying some along with
#652 pre cleaner, #501 polish /cleaner, #601 pba.
I have the fc&s and aqua wax, excellent
products.
 
Nope, the fast clean & shine is a quick detailer,
this is used for quick wipe downs to remove finger
prints, dust, road grime, water spots etc. Use it
before a show or to maintain your sealant or wax
in between washings. The aquawax is a spray sealant
no cleaners, and should be used about once a month,
or after heavy washes. Some people mix fc&s with
the aquawax in a 70% fc&s to 30% aquawax or
2/3 fc&s to 1/3 aquawax, supposedly this cleans and
gives a nice gloss, and won't build up like using pure
aquawax, I haven't tried this yet but heard about it
on this board. I think black bart uses this mixture.
 
FrEsHnCLEAN After using the 105 you will not be able to take a photo of your car.
I took a picture of my hood and this is what I got,
