My question is pretty much as simple as the title reads. I want to try out a WOWA sealant, and seeing that the ease of use and application is very similar across the board, I'm having trouble deciding on one based off of looks, durability, slickness, etc.



Which one would you go with, and why?:help:
 
I bought Opti-seal, after reading the reviews. It was between it and Zaino's Z-CS. I've never used the others, but I'm pleased with Opti-seal. It's very easy to use.



It's not super slick, but slick enough I guess. The durability is pretty good as well. I've had it go at least two months before I decided I wanted to try another product. I'm sure it will last longer. Not sure how long though.



I still use opti-seal on my wheels.
 
I used the UPGP with excellent results. With all WOWA products there is a learning curve. I suggest you also get hte QD if you go with the UPGP. What a great 1-2 punch. I have a black car and it protected it from August 08 through the winter with 3 application. You need to wait 12-24 hr for it to cure. Well worth the $$. That small bottle will last you a long time. 1/4 oz will do the entire full size car easily. iF YOU SEE STREAKING YOU ARE USING TOO MUCH 9AND YOU WILL THE FIRST TIME). once it cures the streaks are easily removed with the QD.



Your second application will go much smoother. When i complained about streaking, I got a call from the chemist Ron who send me a home made video that showed proper application. many did i use too much the first go round. One spray per pannel, no more. You dont see it go down very wet like other produsts.
 
UPGP, it has great protection/durability & a nice look.



I liked the AJT, but after a month outside, and 3 washes, the "look" went down considerably.



Just tried a spray wax over UPGP, just to see what a light topper would do.

Had no QD, so I bought some Meg's UQW, OTC. Nice combo, it left a increased shine, & slickness.
 
i prefer upgp. upgp has a very slick finish that rinse and releases dirt/bugs very easily. 3 coats lasted on my truck for the winter (outside 24/7) still going strong but i added a new layer in the spring and another in early july. os is just as easy to use but i feel its not quite a slick as upgp. haven't had it on my wife car long enough to say anything about the durability. looks for the two are similar although the car and truck are different colors. i would buy either of the two again, however i'm leaning more toward the upgp at this time. if i could only have one it would probably be upgp.

Can you post the video or do you have a link?
 
I really like AJT, but it is not WOWA like the others you mention. It's spray on, buff off. More or less like a quick detailer.
 
...with the prices down on UPGP go for the 12 oz bottle and the Ultima Spray Guard Plus(their QD) its a very good combo and Yes a COMBO you'll need the two to get the results.

I use UPGP and OS.



I find that UPGP has better durability and is easier to clean, but OS has better looks. UPGP has the nice sharp reflective "sealant" look, while OS has a wetter deeper look. I find you need about 2 or 3 layers before UPGP starts looking good, while OS looks good after 1 layer.



If I were to use just one, I'd give the nod to UPGP because of durability and ease of cleaning... nothing sticks to it! I also find it easier to apply - less streaky than OS. I always have streaks that need to be buffed off with OS. I guess I haven't perfected the application process yet
 
I have been using UPGP on my wife's car--first her Ford Taurus (silver green) and now her Honda CR-V (glacier blue). I am very pleased with it and am not tempted to use any other sealant on her car. It's so darn easy to use, and it leaves a nice slick look. Perhaps the car would look even better if I used another sealant, say, Blackfriar Wet Diamond (or perhaps not), but it looks good enough for me. As I said, it's just so darn easy, and I can seal the entire car, painted surfaces and plastic trim and cladding. I have also purchased the Ultima Tire & Trim Guard, but I haven't used it yet on the cladding, because UPPG is just so easy.



As you might guess, my relationship to the CR-V is somewhat different than my relationship to my S2000. With the latter, I am eager to try out all sorts of different products, but with the former, I just want something that works very well and is easy to apply. UPPG fulfills both conditions. :2thumbs:
 
Thanks for the input all!



Honestly, I had been heavily leaning towards the UPGP before I started this thread, and now it looks like that's the way I'll go after all. I'll give the OS a try next go 'round, as I expand my products further.



I'm a little surprised that there's not more input or fans of the Z-CS, seeing as how large the Zaino market is.
