Hi, I am almost done using my batch of Wolfgang sealant on my black car. I was happy with it. Now, I was thinking which way should I go : UPP, Menzerna FMJ, Blackfire Diamond or back to WG. Your suggestions and experiences would be quite helpful. Thanks again. Oh, I am leaning towards a slick deep finish, fyi.
 
I have only used FMJ. I love it, it goes on and off easy, doesn't stain trim, and durability is great, even without using HGAS. It is also really slick, and can be maintained if you use HGAS. That being said I believe the BF Wet Diamond is basically the same thing for cheaper, but CMA says that BF does stain trim (Small difference).



I know FMJ is nice on lighter metallics (as well as solids), and UPP is supposed to be as well.



All of them are good products. It comes down to price and what you want.



If you like WG get it, if you want to try something else then do it.



Enjoy whatever you get :getdown
 
Out of those, I've only used the BF Wet Diamond. Love it on well prepped reds and darks, looks nice on light metallics as well. Very, very slick, and super easy if it goes on thin. Durability seems to be good, as its at 2+ months over AIO, washed every 2-3 weeks, and slickness is still good and it is beading very well and still looks good too. Very clear and vivid looking on darks, with good depth and wetness. Decent pop of metallics on lights, although it can't touch EX-P for pop.
 
Haven't tried BF yet, but out of the remaining three, I'd take FMJ. Especially on red.
 
Well, you're asking about 4 of my 5 favorite products (Z is the 5th), and have used each a lot. Here is my feedback based on my personal experiences:



BF over WG due to ease of application and durability. Looks are exceptionally close.



FMJ big time over UPP due to every imaginable characteristic.



I use HGAS over the BF and FMJ and am very happy with the results and performance of HGAS. Adds a wonderful depth to the BF or FMJ finish.
 
Great feedback so far. LOL, but now you guys are confusing me even more - I knew it would be close, but cannot afford to buy them all.



Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that UPP excelled on metalic/light colors? It seems that FMJ gives that deep look on dark colors? Keep the suggestions comming. Thanks.
