Which product keeps its slickness the longest?

First off. No I am not a zealot or anything. I believe z5 is amazingly slick product for a while. I have yet to try z2 or z8 so I can say anything about those.

I have to agree, Zaino stays slick for a long time. So does Opti-Seal and the upcoming NXT v2.

Dang Scott, stop teasing us with this new NXTv2.



Us "Common Folk" have to wait until the new year. :laugh:



It's just not right.
 
Most guys on this forum have ADD...Attention Detailing Disorder...Most of them won't allow the product to go long enough to see how long the slickness lasts

+1



I have had great results with Zaino in terms of slickness and protection longevity.:cool:
 
I use Gold Class car wash for the record:



Slickness defined as JUST waxed slickness:



Blackfire lasts until you wash it.

Menzerna FMJ lasts about 2-3 washes

#26 lasts 3-4 washes.



For what I paid for Blackfire I was really disappointed.

You hit the nail on the head with that comment.:xyxthumbs
 
Fireglaze certainly amazed me with it's slickness retention despite coin op car washes done to my daily driver each week



I think that the shampoo you use really affects the slickness durability
 
DG stuff



FK 1000P , exceptional and durable ( no quite as slick without a QD , but looks like you added a coat of clear to your car)

For those who have used Polycharged UPP, how long does the slickness seem to last?

Mine has held up nicely for about 2 months. Love the stuff!



Softest finish sealant I have ever used! People notice when touchin the doors and handles. I get a ton of compliments on the feel of the finish.



EDIT: I have tried the FK 1000 and it is not even close (IMO) to the Ultima or Zaino. I sent a nearly full can of it to a fellow Autopian for shipping costs I was so dissapointed in the product.

Does slickness indicate protection Level?

I think slickness is important because it helps the wash mitt/towels glide over the paint easier, so the chance to marr the finish is reduced.



I judge when an LSP is breaking down by it's beading/slickness/looks vs. freshly applied product.



I think Collinite 845 holds it's slickness nicely.



To be honest, ZAIO + a single layer of Z2 underwelmed me by it's slickness. Initially it was nice, but after 1 month and 2 washes (Duragloss 901, no QD) it doesn't seem all that slick. Not grabby though, and it still looks like I just applied it.



FK Pink Wax actually holds it's slickness/beading/looks very nicely for a wax (OK, poly/wax blend).
 
collinite 845 holds very nicely...for me! :soscared: i might add that i foam when washing, blow dry for the most part and touch the finish as little as possible when picking up the remaining water drops. :secret :nixweiss
