Giving back to the community. What side-by-side tests would you like to see?

Hey guys, over the past few months I've been lurking here I've learned so much. I really want to give back to the community in some way. Since I've always loved the side-by-side LSP tests, I thought I'd do some of those. But before I start, I just wanted to get some feedback on my ideas. Possibly how to make them more accurate? Maybe someone has already done similar tests? I'm also open to any other ideas using the products below.



Collonite 845 and 476

CG Jetseal 109

CG EZ-creme glaze

Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Sealant

Meguiar's #26 liquid and paste

Poorboys World Polish with Sealant



Test #1 - Effect of CG EZ-creme glaze on LSP durability

Car: Early 2000s Ford Escape

Prep: Wash, Clay, maybe Polish w/ Menzerna Nano Polish PO 106

Right side: EZ-creme glaze topped with Jetseal or Collonite (haven't decided)

Left side: Only the Jetseal or Collonite



Aside from testing just how much of a difference the glaze actually makes in the look of the paint, I want to see how it effects the protection lifespan. Ultimately, I'd like to assess the feasibility of offering the glaze step as an up-sell.



Test #2 - PBW Polish with Sealant protection duration, effect on duration of Collonite 845

Car: Early 2000s Mazda Tribute

Prep: Wash, Clay, Polish w/ PBW PwS

Right side: Collonite 845

Left side: nothing more



I just got my PBW PwS and want to see how long the protection will last in the San Antonio heat/sun. I'm also curious how the protection from an AIO product will effect the staying power of a long lasting LSP like collonite. I realize it kinda defeats the purpose of doing an AIO...but I'm still curious :biggrin1: I definitely want to do test #1, this one is subject to change though.





I've got a pretty nice camera for pics. After each detail I'll do maintenance washes using ONR every 2-3 weeks and update the thread. Any feedback is appreciated!
 
Thanks for taking the time to give back to the community! This should be an interesting and semi-difficult/subjective test IMHO. Regardless, I'd love to see how #26 compares to CG ECG. Take lots of pics and videos won't hurt either.
