DO NOT FALL FOR MARKETING SCHEMES! I hate companies that do this......Matter of fact, thats the exact reason why I created my own company. Some of those product supply companies are as unscrupulous as loan companies which got.............(nevermind).

You're absolutely right. That's why I like to get some answers through this forum. The manufacturers can claim whatever they like, but at the end the product users have the final say.

But, def. I am returning this Blitz Sealant and will go with Duragloss 105 or Meg 21 as suggested.

Use the Blitz as a maintenance product. (I assume your referring to the CG's and not the One Grand Blitz?) Nothing wrong with it in that regard.

I understand its better to polish with a PC then by hand, do you also use a machine to apply sealant or just do it by hand?

I have always done it by hand until this last time...applied with PC with the black pad and I'll probably be doing it that way from now on. Goes on easy!

It works ok if your doing it on your own but if your detailing a lot of cars there is a lot of product waste and you can't afford it ..

so the steps would be for a COMPLETE detailed job would be

1. wash car with dish soap to remove any kind of wax
2. Use some kinda of compound to remove scratches
3. apply some kind of polish
4. then sealant

Correct?

Aslo has anyone ever heard of a company called Presta products? a local auto body suppy store trying to sell me on it it.

See bold.

Also, I would add clay bar the car after your wash.
