Ultima Paint Guard Plus ?

Looking to find a new magic potion that will give me a Zymol/One Grand Blitz shine without the the greasy dirt
magnet feel (Zymol) or hard to buff off (One Grand Blitz).

Currently using NXT (doesn't last). I used to like Meguiar's
Medallion until they stopped selling it.

Car is clayed every 2-3 months due to NYC area pollition.

Need I say FS UPP? Optimum ID & GE between washes, and DG AquaWax or FS Spray Wax once monthly, and you are seriously good for 6 months.....I just hit my truck with DG 105 after having not done anything(but the above) since before Halloween. Still had pleanty of protection standing.....
Wuddya say WW Crew?

Thanks for the replies. I now have to spend some time reading through Exceldetail's extensive inventory !

Do I need to use something like Danase's Wet Glaze before
I use UPP ? I try to clay every 2-3 months because of airborne contaminents that sometimes bond onto the paint surface.

Does UPP stain black trim ?

i have used the danase wet glaze, but not in a while...to me its all in the prep work...if your cars paint is cleaned and polished correctly, and you put upp on it, you will be very happy...nothing is slicker then upp either.....nothing

Have you tried Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant? I just used it the other day and I have to say that is the slickest sealant I have ever used. I like UPP too and the Ultima Paint Guard Plus is pretty nice for its ease of use although it is pretty expensive. All are good choices.

Not necessary, but its great on darks in addition to UPP. Can be used atop or below UPP.
And yes, prep is key, give the paint a good cleaning at a minimum.
UPP as well as most car care product containing any petroleum bi products will stain flat black if left to dry. My advice, tape off where you dont want it, be careful and/or wipe away once you notice its on the trim....

4 star products are the best I have used. I am good friends with the CEO and he gives me products alot to use. they have a new clay bar & lubricant that works awesome for prep work and the paint guard plus sealer is great. Contact Sam Lankford at 4 star products for any questions.
