    I would love to try Jetseal but I hear many people saying durability is not very good, then some say it is decent. Dont know if I want to spend the $40ish on it. Good thing is I still have some time to figure out what I want to buy for my next sealant!

    I'm surprised I havn't heard much said about Opti-Seal...is it more of a boutique sealant?? I would figure you could have great duribilty out of that product under a nuba..

    CG Jetseal compliments a good nuba very well. This sealant has good durability, and it looks great even if you don't use nuba as lsp. +1 For CG Jetseal.

    You also can't go wrong with:
    DG 105
    Meg's M21 2.0
    Klasse AIO/ KSG Combo
    Zaino Z5

    The above are some of my favorites.

    I second on opti seal since it can goes under and on top of a nuba. Great product!

    I just bought Opti-Seal. How much durability does it have? The label doesn't say much at all...Thanks...:shrug:

    And to Hum-Benz...It was thanks to you and 911Fanatic that I enjoy FMJ so much...:thumb:

    Same here! My Jetseal is for chrome and rims only now.

    The depth, reflectivity and warmth those 3 together give is just freaking unbelievable.

    If you're after durability, don't overlook Werkstat AJT. I've done AJT under RBOE quite a few times, and have always been pleased. I've got a real world use case down in Atlanta right now that's going on 2.5 months. The owner reports the paint still feels slick and the car still beads water.

    And nothing could be easier to use than AJT. Great stuff.

    Another in the FMJ camp.

    It's been my sealant of choice for the last 3 years to top off with a nuba. It buffs off slick and beautiful. It also makes silver look liquid IMHO.

    ATJ is another great choice, though I have never topped it- that's my second pick...

    Is prime needed or you think it would work on top of CG EZ-Glaze? Ahh so many options...maybe I will just need to get one of everything and have every panel something different. ha

    What do people think about FK 1000P, I can get it for pretty cheap, $17 shipped, from FK them selves (as FK1 is still down as a distributor). I was thinking because of its great durability and from few things I have read it has a nice gloss to it. Then go over it with a nuba wax.I have not seen much about this wax around here. I guess if no one knows I will just try it out anyways as I will also be using it for the wheels.

    Hopefully in about 2 weeks once summer classes are done I will strip the car and start my sealant/wax test with some sealants that JL was nice enough to send my way.

    i just did my M3 with 2 coats of jetseal and one of RBOE and it looked wet as all can be.

    A guy I know loved the look of it so much he wants me to do his 599

    I've used AJT/RBOE many, many times. GREAT looking combo. I've had people report four month plus durability. AJT is also one of the easiest LSPs in the world to use - possibly *the* easiest. It feels like cheating.:giggle:
