CG blaclight+V7 sealant vs Poorboys blackhole and blue nattys wax

I have nattys blue wax and nattys red wax.. I was gonna use blackhole glaze this spring with both waxes topped.

But i have been also reading great reviews on the chemical guys blacklight glaze/sealant with V7 spray sealant combo.

Any have experience with either combo?

My car is sapphire black.

V7 won't do much for protection, just looks. It will last 3-4 days at most. I use it as a post wash QD. Natty's Blue is for non-metallic paints and Natty's Red is for metallic paints.

BlackLight and V7 was my favorite combo in the past when I am running short on time. I still have several bottles of BlackLight plus a full gallon of V7 in my garage for this purpose.

V7's durability is not great and I managed to get several washes by polycharging it. I do like the looks but when it comes to water beadings....not its strong suit at all.

BlackLight is a very hard product to categorize. It has some abrasive elements like a fine finishing polish. It fills and it also leaves behind a layer of protection. It does only an OK job in each of the categories on its own but the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

Thanks man! Have your ever done nattys blue first and a coat of red on top? I have both and was thinking of trying that as a bunch of guys have been doing this.
Any experience if nattys wax over BFWD will work?

Thanks alot! I gotcha in the in the the whole then in parts. I thought the whole would have given a bit more protection for longer. I think i will stick with the wax then for my personal car.
I dont think i need sealant if i wax every 2 months on my personal car, and keep up with safe ph soaps, garage kept and QD with a lil wax.
