What's your least favorite LSP?

Ouch!

 

For me, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, easy on easy off but the look didn't impress me and very poor durability. The old Danase Paint Sealant smells good but bad durability and sterile look.

hmm and I wouldn't buy Meguiars waxes again.

 

Black Magic Wet Shine Liuid Wax

Nice beads, lasts a while. Very hard to buff off.

 

I have to agree with your there, that is why I sold mine a little while ago. I will add another to my list: Mother's Top Coat. This stuff is dead easy to use but it seems to have all of 2 days durability and has below average beading and doesn't add anything to the look of the paint.

 

Did you just describe Collinite 476?

 

Finish Kare's Pink (Stink) Wax. Bland look, holds dirt, spots badly.

 

Poorboy's Polish w/Sealant. It's easy to buff off but it's so hard and weird to spread around by hand. This surprised me the most because usually Poorboy's products are usually so easy to use, generally at the expense of durability.

Agreed that Wolfgang DGPS durability is an issue. I like the look of it so I plan on polycharging it next time I use it to help the durability. I've noticed that IF Polycharger plays nicely with the product I am using it on, it makes for insane durability.

 

Is this for the original formula, or the 3.0? The 3.0, in my experience lasted at least 2 months, and I quite enjoyed the look it gave.

 

I have to agree on this one. Applied Jetseal, two applications (in accordance with their instructions).

However, a few days later on a rainy day and trip down the highway about 20 miles - Result? Odd white smears at the seams ... so I rub it to see what spray could have caused this. Answer - its just some of the Jetseal, peeling away due to some water hitting it?

Seems a little cheap and weak on durability. Does it look good? As long as it is dry out...

Will the Collinate last any longer? I'm looking for a replacement.

 

I finally got around to trying HD Wax with a foam applicator and it was still a pain to apply. It was a lot easier to apply with a foam applicator than it was with microfiber but it still wasn't what I would call fun. The only thing that keeps me coming back to this wax is theawesome look it leaves.

 

Swissvax Autobahn does make your wheels look great, and I use the product, but it offers ZERO durability. It actually does NOTHING as far as making it easier to clean your wheels later. Menzerna FMJ looks awesome, and it's SUPER easy to use, but also offers very little durability, especially for a synthetic sealant.

What's my least favorite? Werkstat Carnauba Jett. As awesome as AJT is, CJ is the same amount of awful. I never figured it out. The haze it left was the most stubborn to remove I've yet to experience. I found it so frustrating to use that I didn't even finish the whole car. I put it on a shelf and later sold it.

Yes! Autobahn was a huge disappointment. It looked nice, and felt super slick, for the half hour or so that it lasted. :lol: Easily the most disappointing product I've ever tried. The experience scares me away from trying anything else by Swissvax to this day.

 

I would NOT base your opinion of SV on Autobahn. If you tried their waxes, you would never go back to using anything else as a LSP.

I apply Autobahn with my bare hands, and I usually do this every other week. I guess thats why durability is fine in my mind. The bead is spectacular, and coupled with Sonax wheel cleaner, my rims are extremely shiney. I have an E46 with OEM 19's. They are like mirrors.

 

I think 476 is easier to use than this stuff.

 

I love the easy on/off of JetSeal, althought I have never seen it peel off like you said. That's too bad ...

Is Power Lock about the same as JetSeal in terms of easy on/off?

 

+1 on the autobahn

and +1 on your concerns about the rest of the swissvax range

before i started trying other LSPs, all i had was a full Zaino range as my sealant, Polylack (your Carlack) for acrylic and P21S and Concorso (also known as BOS) for my nubas

and concorso wouldnt last one winter downpour. As soon as the sun hit a wet panel id get instant water spots, even less than 1 week of application

sure it looked better than P21S, and i put up with it because of that, but now that ive discovered new tech stuff like E-zyme and Vic Red, they match (if not better) it's looks and offer way more protection

all those high priced swissvax/zymol nubas may make you feel good applying them, but the reality is they are old school recipes that have been surpassed by the latest advances in polymer/hybrid/etc technologies. I'll admit ill forgive a wax outright durability/looks if the smell/application is favourable, but these are simply a triumph of marketing over subtance

 

Power Lock goes on and comes off very easily. It's really thick though. I would very seriously recommend against using a microfiber applicator with it. Try foam.

 

Victoria Concours - far, far, too soft a wax for my liking.

 

Meguiars gold class paste wax is god awfull.
I absolutely deteste liquid sealants aswell and finally autoglym extra gloss protection and hd wax are poor quality.

 

swissvax is known for there wax mostly. and there concorso is amazing...
