I'm using P21S. Probably not because it's the "best" wax out there, but it works well in my hands. It's super easy to remove, and lasts a reasonable amount of time.

I may just bail on self maint and have it Opti-coated. We have a couple of Opti-coat Pro detailers here in town.

I'm not proud to admit that there was time where I was using every night. First I'd start with protectall's quick & easy wash, you know, just to get that surface dirt off. But that power-lock surface would start calling and the next thing you know I'm doing ounce after ounce of Poor Boy's spray & gloss. It wasn't pretty. Well the car was, though. |

Look at how easy that is to apply and the beading. I have many 100$+ waxes and I think sealants are the way to go.[/QUOTE]
I don't know too much about this. Can I go directly to this on the new car paint or do I have to polish or wax it before? |

Sealant is a wax replacement that has much more longevity and beads better in a lot of cases. |

Thanks. I think I'll go with the sealant on the new paint. |

Opticoated the entire car, including wheels/barrels and all trim minus rubber bits. Xpel ultimate film on front end with opticoat on top of the film.
Once cured, 90% of the dirt sheds TOUCH FREE with a light foam gun pressure wash, and then blow dry with a leaf blower. Blowing dry an opticoated vehicle is a snap. Never need to actually touch the finish unless I want 100% dirt removal (add hand wash after the foam gun). Properly maintained OptiCoat NEVER needs reapplication. |
