BFWD is a popular choice with good results/performance. I use it myself.

Detailer's Pro Poli-Coat gets my vote for best bang for the buck. It is a durable polymer sealant that also has a built in bonding agent.

that stuff looks like some great stuff. i might actually have to pick some up. is it easier to remove than the klass sg and i can do it by hand with the same results as using my PC?

I used CG blacklight followed by CG V7 and was very impressed...IMHO the combo left my car looking better then it did with the BFWD...I then topped it all with AGHD and the car looks just as deep, clean and shiney as it did 2 weeks ago when I did it...Only thing I have done is wash it with water and air dry it...And I only did one coat of each with the curing times...Blacklight only takes 45 minutes total time to cure and I let V7 cure over night...

i wouldnt let anything cure over night, that just leaves too much time for dust and such to land on it and then you rube it all in as you wipe your sealant/wax off....ouch

I'd give you my opinion but I have to go to work, lol.....Its like saying, "Whats the best wine or steak..."
There IS NO best. There are products that simply suck, and there are products which work very well for you. A better ? would have been "What are some EZ on and EZ off products with decent durability?"

If applied in thin, even coats, with a hazing time of about 45 minutes, the product will come off effortlessly.

And this...


One thing to also keep in mind is the results of whatever sealant you decide to go with heavily depends on your prep work.

^This.

I like Klasse SG, but it's a workout to remove. Worth it? You bet IN MY OPINION.

I personally love the results and the durability. Newer isn't always better. I was less impressed with the Blackfire as far as appearance. Removal of the BF though was super easy.

I figure I only need to remove the Klasse SG once per quarter (I dilute it in a sprayer as a QD for post wash stuff), so I don't care how tough it is to remove, just how it looks and protects.
